Installing Drupal

Hello

I have installed several test versions of Drupal, and have had some success. I have in fact had the install script open successfully, and now i am confident to do this often.

Now i am approaching the install from a new tack, and i need some assistance, please.

I am following an install guide, here: http://drupal.org/node/1387658

That article is not complete, so i contacted mroscar (the author), and he kindly responded with a detailed email of where to place the files and folders, and symlinks.

I am pretty sure i have it just right. I have created symlinks, as suggested in all the right places. I have created the maindomain folder correctly, and i have placed all other folders and files correctly.

I have edited the .htaccess file. In fact, i think the problem i am having is with the .htaccess file itself. I think there is some setting i need to adjust, and then i will be away all fine. But i am unsure if its as simple as this.

Am i missing something with the .htaccess file?

Do i need to set the:

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
Options +FollowSymLinks

...code differently?

My full folder setup is lengthy to explain, so i think it might be best to skip it here.

But, here is my full lenth .htaccess:

#
# Apache/PHP/Drupal settings:
#

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.

hello dear friends,

after the first trials with drupal-commons and some great experiences with some success i now am very glad that i know what goes on in the sites/default/files etc

Today i wanted to install the newest common-version, called 6x 24, which was released on january 18th 2012. As happened several times ago: During the installation the wwwrun-user has taken over the controll: As a consequence of this i have got completely empty folders in sites/default/files etc

Drupal Commons site has no style after installing it: It looks like campus-24.com.

Note the JavaScript and CSS files are in:

    /home/vhost/WWW/campus-24.com/sites/default/files/js
    /home/vhost/WWW/campus-24.com/sites/default/files/css
    /home/vhost/WWW/campus-24.com/sites/default/files/imagecache
    /home/vhost/WWW/campus-24.com/sites/default/files/ctools
    /home/vhost/WWW/campus-24.com/sites/default/files/pictures

All the folders are empty. BTW: During the installation, I noticed warnings about too many files open. But this is not so important to me here.

Well i know that it is pretty important to toggle the css- and js-aggregation: and switch it to off!

HELP!!!


I am installing Creative Premium Drupal 6 Theme on cPanel.


I already have it installed on my Primary domain http://filipinotravelhelp.com and now i want to install it for a new venture camping-equipment-sales.com


I registered the new venture as a sub domain of the primary after speaking with Bluehost, created my SQL Database and ftp'd my files to the folder "campingequipmentsales" in my "public_html"

New to drupal,

Installed in a directory called drupal/ went fine until I tried to change the colors in the theme bartik.
After the change a authenticated or unauthenticated user sees white backgrounds.

I installed the fix-permissions.sh script http://drupal.org/node/244924 and ran from shell, which killed my install, the could not view anything inside the dir.
recieved not auth errors.
Had to delete the directory drupal and re-install.

Referrer	http://www.mydomain.net/drupal/admin/appearance/settings/bartik?render=overlay

Now Im back where I cannot change colors of the theme,
Drupal reports the following errors found in Home » Administration » Reports » Recent log messages (below)

I have all files writable by owner and group in the files directory.
