Installing Drupal

Hi,

I know in Drupal 6xx you could write an install profile that merely installed a default database dump as an installation profile option when setting up drupal for the first time. (http://www.lullabot.com/articles/5-step-drupal-distributions)

Hey Folks

Finally getting around to working with a windows machine to work out some CSS nonsense with IE, but I can't get my site to run on WAMP.

Here's the situation so far. Installed WAMP and got it up and running, increased memory allocations for uploads and such, everything looks like it's running fine. Downloaded my database using Backup & Migrate, imported into WAMP phpmyadmin no problems or errors. Dropped my site folder (a 6.25 version from a zipped file that I'm pretty sure has all the hidden .htaccess files) in the 'www' folder directory for WAMP, changed settings in 'settings.php' to reflect new imported db name.

$db_url = 'mysql://root@localhost/mydbname';

Problem is navigating to the page brings up a "Page not available" error in IE and Chrome.

Installing the Drupal Open Enterprise on a local Windows 7 machine. I keep getting several fatal errors "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\profiles\openenterprise\modules\apps\apps.manifest.inc on line 258"

Not sure how to proceed but I changed the excecution time on c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.10\php.ini from 30 to 180. I even copied the file to www root but get the same error.

Any help appreciated.

Notice: Undefined variable: errno in drupal_http_request() (line 835 of /data/home/hmu069461/htdocs/includes/common.inc).
Notice: Undefined variable: errstr in drupal_http_request() (line 836 of /data/home/hmu069461/htdocs/includes/common.inc).

i did a google search, and the reason is "stream_socket_client function" is disabled on the web host. I called my host provider, but they declined my request.(because the security problem of this function).

How can i sort this out without changing the host provider?

Thanks.

This is a new installation of WAMP on Windows

I entered database name and my own created username/password

Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

I then tried root / root and then also tried root / (with my password) All give same error.

I even updated the priviledge for my new username and it said
GRANTALLPRIVILEGESON`mywebsite`.* TO'myusername'@'%' WITHGRANTOPTION ;

???

Thanks for any help

I installed drupal 7, ubercart and associated modules 4 days ago - there is already and update for entity api and ubercart.

I want to update this software but I can not find clear instructions on how to update these modules successfully - I have taken my site offline, backed it up and have also disabled ALL except core modules.

(is there a way of recording the disabled modules and re-enabling at the click of a button?)

I then tried to INSTALL the updated modules - but got the error message that these modules already exist which is correct but they are not enabled.

Next i thought of uninstalling the outdated modules - I click on the uninstall tab and try to select the 2 modules that have to be uninstalled- while they are listed i am unable to select ANY check box for ANY module in the uninstall list - is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I have now also tried the old method of copying the updated files to the web directory - effectively replacing the old source with the new - however running update now indicates there is nothing to be updated.

Next im going to try enable these modules again then run update again - however since i did not run the uninstall / install from the web end i am concerned i may cause problems down the line?
