Installing Drupal

I've decided to install Drupal 6, with an eye on upgrading to Drupal 7 in a few months time (when/if I can afford a dedicated server).

Is there anything I can do before I install Drupal 6 that will make the upgrade path to Drupal 7 easier? For example, maybe use an InnoDB database?

Hi,

I am new to drupal. I installed acquia latest version. Now I am installing drupal 7.8, which I downloaded from drupal website, so that it will work with acquia. When I try to import drupal 7 folder in acquia control panel, it displays this error "myweb.localhost:8082/install.php Application not found"

So can someone help me how to fix this error?

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone!

I'm running into some problems installing a new Drupal site as a subdirectory of a site that is already up and running. I'll do my best to explain.

Steps taken so far:

1. Created a new MySQL database, wxyz
2. In MySQL ran the command: GRANT ALL ON wzxy.* TO user@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
3. Ran the command: FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
4. In my /sites folder created a subfolder called: example.com.new-site
5. In that folder I created a new files folder and added a fresh settings.php file
6. In settings.php I pointed to my new database: $db_url = 'mysqli://user:password@localhost/wxyz';
7. I also added this: $base_url = 'http://www.example.com/new-site';
8. I added the following to my .htaccess file:
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/new-site/.*
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /new-site/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
9. In terminal I added a sym link to point to the new directry: ln -s . new-site

Hi,

I'd like to create a multi-site install of Drupal for a customer I will have to create several sites for.

Although it seems to be very easy to do when reading the tutorials on the web, I can't get it working.

To be clear, I will have two domain names, each pointing on a different site: mysite1.com and mysite2.com

At this stage, I would like to setup the install on my development serveur, in a dedicated directory: www.devsite.com/dev/customerName/

how to add "more news" at the bottom of article.
same with this http://www.freeimagehosting.net/2bd07

I have a Ubuntu 10.04 server with LAMP installed, but it is not serving the install.php page - browser tries to download the file instead of displaying it.

I've created a testphp file that should display phpinfo but this is treated in the same way.

Is this something to do with the permissions on the drupal folders? Or maybe on /var/www?

Does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution to this?

Cheers,
A
