Installing Drupal

I transferred all the files from the old server, and imported the database. When I did a preview it seemed to show the right page, so I went ahead and changed the dns for the domain. Now, when I go to the site all I get is a screen telling me to install Drupal, however the site's logo is showing up. If I do that will it overwrite everything or will it keep all the existing files?

I have the latest version 7.14 Drupal that I am trying to install on my laptop in preparation for Drupal classes.

My machine is an Acer Aspire laptop
The OS is Opensuse 12.1 with the latest LAMP stack versions

On installation I get one error and one warning both are php related, but when I open php.ini, all those extensions are present.

I have installed D7.14 many times on other machines but this is the first time I have had this issue

Please help!!

Hi
I'd like to install Drupal 7.14 on Ubuntu 11.04 with a PostgreSQL 9.1 database. As recommended in the installation guide, i tried to load the database scheme, but there's no folder like etc/drupal/7/database, so i can't find the database.psql script.

The database configuration itself provides only one Database type ("MySQL, MariaDB, or equivalent", "Your PHP configuration only supports a single database type, so it has been automatically selected").

I think it would also work to add the psql settings to the settings.php File, but i don't know how to do this.

Hi, i'm having some troubles with drupal 7.14 with a remote mysql database.

My problems begins when i do the initial setup, all runs perfectly until "Install Profile". In that part begins table creation and ajax counter go crazy from step 3 to 4, after back to step 2 and go to step 6......., at the end the counter be quiet on step 9. Although the ajax counter not work properly, tables are succesfully created on mysql. In this moment, if i click on webbrowser stop button drupal return the next message:

An AJAX HTTP request terminated abnormally. Debugging information follows. Path: http://myhost:58002/drupal-7.14/install.php?profile=standard&locale=en&i... StatusText: ResponseText: ReadyState: 4

Ok, no problem, i go to the url: http://myhost:58002/drupal-7.14/install.php, re-do "Choose Profile", "Choose languaje", installer directly goes to "Configure site" and i can finish install process.

Everybody can believe that all is ok, but.....NO. When i go to "Modules" section and try to install any module (before activate "upload manager"), for example views (after install ctools), doing the install from a url (http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/views-7.x-3.3.tar.gz) drupal always return the next error:

Hi.
I've downloaded an already created Drupal site from the remote server and pt it into my local development folder.
After that I've created Virtual Host specification for that site in my Apache v-host configuration settings.
When I try to run site locally, I get the following error msg:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 11 database disk image is malformed: SELECT expire, value FROM (semaphore) WHERE name=:name; Array ([:name] => variable_init) in lock_may_be_available() (Line 167 ....\includes\lock.inc).

Hello,
I would like to know is it possible to store user created files on another server?

for example i have a users gallery, now my current server is limited by space, is it possible to setup a system on another server to server those gallery images... e.g www.domain.com/user/gallery/car will display photos the user has uploaded from data.domain.com/location/to/car/image.jpg ?
but the user has no idea (or should care about) that the images are stored on another server.
