I am installing Drupal in a local development setup on my iMac with MAMP installed.
I downloaded Drupal 7.9 and copied it to the Apache document root as I specified in the MAMP preferences. So browsing to http://localhost/ would take me to where Drupal 7.9 is installed.
Last week (after few months practising with Drupal) i put online my website www.sahajayogaudine.it made with Drupal 7.8, a more expert friend (IT student) was helping me and we changed the login password to Drupal while deploying. (Also few modules like media were updated the day before). It happened that after beeing online i cannot anymore login to Drupal both with the new and the old password... and i today realize i cannot login on the local server installation as well.
I just starting out with Drupal and facing the following issue:
Since the current hosting isn't looking good, I wanted to transfer my account to my dreamhost account.
I transferred all files with FTP, transferred all databases and adapted my settings.php file.
Okay... been trying to get my development site setup on my iMac for 5 hours now... no success and am out of ideas, so I’m asking for help.
I am attempting to have two sites available to me for development work on my iMac so that my live versions on my webhost are not effected by my development work.
Here’s what I’ve done so far... perhaps there is something simple I’m missing?
I’ve successfully downloaded and installed MAMP on my mac and can access phpMyAdmin to create the two databases I need by browsing to http://localhost:8888/MAMP
I created two MySQL databases for each of my two sites that I’ll call:
“mycoolsite.com” and “myothercoolsite.org” and set them up with the appropriate privileges so that Drupal can access them.
Downloaded and decompressed Drupal 7.9 in path /Users/CoolGuy/Library/Drupal
Created sub-directories “mycoolsite.com and myothercoolsite.org in path /Users/CoolGuy/Library/Drupal/sites.
I built my drupal 7 site in acquia, and I just migrated the site onto my remote server. All of the pages exist but aren't all printing content.
When I go to the content section in the admin panel I have all these errors:
I've tried reuploading the root modules and includes folder and that didn't resolve anything.
