Installing Drupal

I already know that Windows support is pretty squeaky new, but thought it was time to take advantage of all our production level systems and move some v 6 sites to Windows. I was already succesful running drupal 6 with mysql on windows with all of our modules so I think this is plausible. Now to move to Sql server and V7.

Step one was just to see a vanilla new Drupal 7 site running well on Windows and Sql Server before going through the more painful upgrade of the v6 sites. I can get to the point where it is adding tables to my sql server 2008 R2 database, but then it fails after 15 or tables are added. The website install error is:

SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: An error occurred substituting the named parameters.

OK, that isn't very helpful so I installed Drush and tried to install from there. Got more detailed information. Looks like a bug, but can't be sure as use of savepoints is something we generally avoid in Sql Server land:

C:\ProgramData\Propeople\Drush\commands\sql\sql.drush.inc).
Starting Drupal installation. This takes a few seconds ... [ok]

WD registry: PDOException: SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: An error occurred [error]

I have a VPS slice on rackspace and I have installed Ubuntu Natty. My apache listens on port 80 and has to vhosts. The www.mydomain.net points to /var/www/ where I have my drupal install files while the subdomain.mydomain.net points to my Ruby on Rails application. The domain is registered with another provider and I have changed the "A" entries to point to the ip address of this VPS. With this setup when I visit demo.mydomain.net I have no issue I see the login screen of my application.

Hi I can't import a remote-server site to an Acquia Dev Desktop.

I have a copy of my remote server, files and folders from public_html and down.
I have a sql-backup file in the .sql format.

***************
STEP A)
***************
***************
In the "sites/" - I see two folders
all
default

and a example.settings.php file
***************
I went into the default-folder
There I find two files
- a default.settings.php I did'nt change.
- a settings.php file I did change
***************
I made the following changes to the settings.php file

At line
180 I deleted:
$databases = array (
'default' =>
array (
'default' =>
array (
'database' => 'theoriginaldbname,
'username' => 'theoriginaldbusername,
'password' => 'theoriginalpw',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '',
'driver' => 'mysql',
'prefix' => 'dr_',
),
),
);

and wrote:

$databases = array ();
***************
at line 212 I emptied the salt:

$drupal_hash_salt = '3tcoaji3p3su96hefdfdfdfdfvg5d8exfqap2sr2im';

to

$drupal_hash_salt = '';
***************

***************
STEP B)
***************

At the end of the settings file I added

///////////////

While running the installation script, the verify requirements portion gave me a PHP Register Globals error.

register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled.

first and most important, what do I need to do to change this? The documentation on php.net makes my head spin, and I couldn't find any answers there.

Second. How is Fantastico able to install drupal with no problems?
