Installing Drupal

Hey all,

So I spent the past few months building a site with Acquia Drupal and now it's time to put it online. I'm super excited and all that, but of course I've managed to mess something up. :) Here is what I've done so far:

1. Used an ftp client to move the entire site folder into the root directory of my server (so the root directory contains index.php, .htaccess, install.php etc.
2. Created a new database on my server and a new user for that database.
3. Using phpMyAdmin in acquia I created a database folder for my site (mpa.sql.gz) and then using phpMyAdmin on the server I imported that file into the new database. (mpa is the name of my site on Acquia)
4. Modified my settings.php file, specifically I changed this:

//D6 DB config
$db_url = 'mysqli://drupaluser@127.0.0.1:33066/MPA';

//D7 DB config
if( !isset($databases) )
      $databases = array();
$databases['default']['default'] = array(
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'database' => 'MPA',
    'username' => 'drupaluser',
    'password' => '',
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 33066 );
//</@@ADCP_CONF@@>

to this:

//D6 DB config
$db_url = 'mysqli://:@/mpadb';

//D7 DB config
if( !isset($databases) )
$databases = array();
$databases['default']['default'] = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',

just after installing Drupal 6.25 on my local pc under WAMP (Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP) server, when I login with admin (http://localhost/drupal-6.25) and click on Administer never display the administer's menu and the page gets blank after several seconds waiting to connect.

I read the article many times and, in fact, set up what I think was intended. But I am confused about backups and restores: will it be possible to backup and restore individual sub-domains, or am I limited to backups for the whole website? I have set up Drupal to use the same database with a prefix for tables, etc.

I've been trying to use drush for installs and updates (version 4.4 on my local linux box).

It works for downloading core and modules just fine. But not for install or upgrades.

This is my command line, from the root folder of the installation.

drush site-install standard --db-url=mysql://root:mypassord@localhost/drupal7.9

which then spits out some errors.

Hi!

I have a friend that's trying to install Drupal 7. He has used Drupal 6 up until now as he decided to upgrade his site. He's still at the same webhost, but it seems that he got assigned to a new server.

The server is IIS 7.5(*) with PHP 5.3.3, PgSQL 8.3.6 (PDO) and MySQL/MySQLi 5.0.7-dev
