Installing Drupal

Hi,
after step 5

New to Drupal. Creating scripts to do a fully automated install. On Windows (is this my problem...?).

I'm downloading Drupal and it's dependencies just fine via 'drush make'. I am even using the 'Profiler' module for extended profiles. (What I don't like about Profiler is that it runs the profile AFTER you've filled out the forms and could put in different values.)

I am attempting to bypass the install screen steps via non-interactive install. I created a simple PHP script which is below, running from the command line:

(I tried using 'drush install-site' but seemed to be getting even more problems. Could this be from a lack of decent handling of / slashes?)

<?php

define('MAINTENANCE_MODE', 'install');

/**
* Root directory of Drupal installation.
*/
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());

require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/install.core.inc';

$settings = array(
'server' => array(
'HTTP_HOST' => 'localhost',
),
'forms' => array(
'install_select_profile' => array(
'profile' => 'standard',
),
'install-select-locale' => array(
'locale' => 'en',
),
'install_settings_form' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'mysql' => array(
'database' => 'mydatabase',

I am trying to configure drupal to run on a two machines where the IIS is on one machine and sql server is on another.
IIS is on a domain controller
sql server is a full version and is running on a separate machine that is a standard server

Today at web design Uganda, we received a surprising inquiry, Somebody said i should make them a website using drupal. I've never even considered using drupal till today. I'm just wondering whether anybody else has ever been in the same shoes. I'm going to start out my first drupal extension on local host and get a feel of what it is. I feel like a fish out of water. I've done joomla, wordpress, modx and a few others but for some reason, i never quite got to drupal.

UPDATE `users` SET pass = MD5('password') WHERE uid=1;

Hi there,

I would like to have a blog on my site which exist only of a list of blogpost separated by a line.

The blogposts do not have a own page per post but are shows fully in the list

The blog post must have anchor tags, so that I can refer to them.

Exactly like the forum is working (for instance: http://drupal.org/node/1645912#comment-6137114).
Is there an easy way?

kind regards!
