Hi...

I have Drupal 6 installed and running successfully with a commercial theme I purchased. I would like to use the same installation of Drupal with an additional domain. Site content would be shared between the multiple domains. Question: Is this possible? If so, where do I find information on how to setup? Thanks in advance for your help! Drupal Rocks!

Hello all, we are trying to move a development site live. However, the dev server is on Windows and the live site is on Solaris. What kind of issues does this involve? I had read a couple of posts here that said there was little difference. I have the requirements met, i.e. AMP stack, space, etc., but nothing other than that on the Solaris machine, i.e. no D6 or D7 (we want to move a complete site over). Can you shine some light on this? Thank you!

I am trying to do a Clean install of Drupal 7.15 with Chaos Tools 7.x-1.1 and Views module 7.x-3.3 and Panels module 7.x-3.2.
I first installed the Chaos Tools module - no problem -
Then I went to try to install the Views module and I get the following error:

"Fatal error: Class 'views_plugin_display' not found in E:\xampp\htdocs\drupal71\sites\all\modules\views\plugins\views_plugin_display_default.inc on line 12"

Ok - So I am under the gun to install a dev copy of an existing database on an Unbuntu server. So happens that I don't have the mysql 'root' password and the old admin is long gone. Luckily drush allows me to connect to mysql using sql-cli.

So I have created a dump file, an empty database, added a user and password. Now I have the mysql> prompt staring me in the face and can't seem to do anything about it.
