Installing Drupal

Hello,

Website: www.darkedengame.com/support

I installed Drupal 7.8 and everything went fine.
After setup, I tried to install the first module, but then my problems started.

When I try to open the menu "Modules", it opens, but this error comes:
Warning: fileowner(): stat failed for temporary://update_F6Kbn8 in update_manager_local_transfers_allowed() (line 906 of /srv/www/vhosts/darkedengame.com/httpdocs/drupal/modules/update/update.manager.inc).

Anyway I tried to install the module, but more errors came:
Warning: fileowner(): stat failed for temporary://update_losY1s in update_manager_local_transfers_allowed() (line 906 of /srv/www/vhosts/darkedengame.com/httpdocs/drupal/modules/update/update.manager.inc).
Warning: mkdir(): Unable to access in DrupalLocalStreamWrapper->mkdir() (line 631 of /srv/www/vhosts/darkedengame.com/httpdocs/drupal/includes/stream_wrappers.inc).
Warning: file_put_contents(temporary://fileoCwKQH): failed to open stream: "DrupalTemporaryStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in file_unmanaged_save_data() (line 1895 of /srv/www/vhosts/darkedengame.com/httpdocs/drupal/includes/file.inc).
The file could not be created.

I am installing a new 7.8 drupal installation and after running the installation script I get 'Page Not Found' where normally the login box would be. The drupal icon and site name appear on the page and the theme is correct, however it seems it not able to get access to the db. I have confirmed mysql support in php and believe to have mysql auth support enabled in apache2 (but am not sure now to verify). Any suggestions? Is there a way to quickly test db support from my installation? Thanks in advance

Hello, I got the following error when installing Drupal 7 on 1&1 (1and1) shared hosting.

Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2).

The solution was to go to Advanced Options - Database host on the Drupal "Set up database" page.

Replace localhost with the host name provided by 1&1 in Control Panel > Database Settings.

I thought I would document it in case this is useful for someone else out there.

Hi there,

I had an existing site running Drupal which I wanted to reuse on a completely different URL. So I copied everything across, changed the settings.php file to point to the new database but obviously a few other things I need to do.

Has anyone ever been through this process and documented the steps?

For example, where does Drupal store the basic site information that defines the base URL and homepage?

I'm assuming I need to tell Drupal my new URL but where do I do that?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!

Hello,

I'm facing some problems with the private file system.
I already configured the system path for private and public files, but it wont work properly.
The problem is that even anonymous users can have access to my private files.
The path to my privates files presented to anonymous and authenticated users is like www.ex.com/system/files/myfile, showing that the private files system is activated, right?

The .htaccess was created and have the folling content:

Evening all,

I'm trying to do a totally fresh install of drupal 7 on a server. I've downloaded and extracted all files as per instructions in install.txt. Database is created, everything is ready to go however I get:

"
