Installing Drupal

On the "Drupal installation complete" page I get this warning message:

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/php/tmp_uploads/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/REDACTED:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in file_directory_temp() (line 2441 of /home/REDACTED/REDACTED.REDACTED.org/includes/file.inc).

I have tried to install Drupal 7 over 20 times using every suggestion and trick that I can find. I run a set of websites for various non-profits, and several want to convert to Drupal 7. I do this as a volunteer since I am over 60 and have time on my hands. Been working with computers since 1968 and running online systems since 1985, so this is very humiliating.

Dreamhost, which used to have a one-click install fro Drupal 6, refuses to offer any assistance on Drupal 7. They know the install is crashing.

Sigh.

I am willing to help write an unofficial install manual for Drupal 7 on Dreamhost, since they have a great policy on hosting non-profits for free.

Here are some of the tricks I have tried:

create these directories by hand :

sites
sites/default
sites/default/files

Copy and rename new file
sites/default/default.settings.php
to
sites/default/settings.php

so that you end up with both files:
sites/default/default.settings.php
and
sites/default/settings.php

Edit settings.php

Now go to a command line prompt:

chmod a+w sites
chmod a+w sites/default
chmod a+w sites/default/files

chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php

Hello,

I've installed minimal Drupal installation. Is it possible to enable default content types from standard installation without creating them from scratch in content type creation page?

Thanks

Here are the steps i followed while migrating
=>created a database using mysqldatabases and a user->root
=>exported my database from wamp and imported in phpmyadmin
=>moved all drupal files to public_html
=>gave 777 permissions to settings.php
this is the configuration in it
'default' =>
array (
'database' => 'firstdb',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => 'password',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '',
'driver' => 'mysql',

I need to migrate an old site to a new installation. I have compressed archives of both the site and the database. How do I set up everything on so everything shows up the way it was on the old site?

Thanks!
