Installing Drupal

Hello everyone,

I've never used drupal up until now. I'm learning how to setup a webserver.

To setup drupal I am using Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL.

I have completed the installation using the following setup instructions and config files:

NginX (with FastCGI/PHP-FPM)
( I did compile nginx myself with specific options so that it would work with perusio's config files and drupal. )
[ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nginx#Installation ]

MySQL
[ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MySQL ]

NginX configs for Drupal
[ https://github.com/perusio/drupal-with-nginx ]

OK, there seems to be a problem with the open_basedir directive-thing in my /etc/php/php.ini file. When I was running apache instead of nginx, I did not have this problem. Right now my drupal site runs fine with the open_basedir line commented out (disabled). If I enable the line, then drupal thinks I need to install it via the installation script... even though it is already installed and I have used the site without any major problems.

I also get numerous errors stating "open_basedir restriction in effect". What is peculiar is that it seems like the paths which drupal is trying to access already ARE in the allowed paths, so it is strange for it to say 'this path is not in the list of allowed paths' (but really is).

HI,
WHILE I WAS INSTALLING DRUPAL6 I GOT FOLLOWING MESSAGE DURING "SET DATABASE PROCESS" IN DRUPAL INSTALLATION.
"Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support. (Currently using Unicode library Standard PHP)"
BUT PHP MBSTRING IS ENABLED IN MY PHP.PLEASE HELP ME HOW COULD I FIX IT.

I AM USING FOLLOWING:

OS: WINDOWS 7
DRUPAL VERSION: 6.25
WAMPSERVER
APACHE:2.2.21
PHP:5.2.9

I am able to get to the page where I input the database information, but as soon as I press the button to continue, I get the White Screen of Death.

I did enable error reporting in the index.php file. But it doesn't show any errors. However, there is a file being created in my root directory called "error_log" and it keeps being populated with this:
[22-Mar-2012 13:28:15] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/eaccelerator.so' - /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/eaccelerator.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Hi,

I am wanting to try out Drupal, but I am having issues even before I can play with it.

I am getting this error message:

Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /home/mysite/public_html/blog/includes/database/database.inc on line 184

I did a bit of googling and I see posts about php.ini, I dont seem to have this file in my public html folder.

I also downloaded and opened up database.inc, but have no idea what I am supposed to be doing.

Can anyone advise please?

Hello all, I am having some problem to move a drupal site to an other server and different path.

I move all the files to the new server, create same database and import the exported SQL file.

If I navigate on the menu, I got links like:

http://mydomain/drupal/partners
http://mydomain/drupal/node/15

But I get this:

I wanted to create a website for a client but they need to be able to do the following

1. Create a helpdesk/ticketing system for their customers to log faults
2. Add a FAQ section or a secure area for all customers to download documents
3. They want to assign files to each customer which are their bills so they can view them online. Obviously this needs to be secured to each customer.

Is this possible in Drupal 6 or 7 and if so do you know how I could do it?
