Installing Drupal

OK i'm trying to be clever here but got stuck.

Basically I have setup my drupal server using debian squeeze with the address 192.168.1.100. I have created a virtual host for the database using KVM on 192.168.1.101.

When I run the install script using the UI I enter 192.168.1.101 as the database host but it can't connect (system error: 111)

Not sure what's missing, any help?

Hello all,

as said in the title, new install of 7.8 and the text module is not installed and can not be ticked either, just a grey box. This (supposedly) causes the problem that when I click on "add content" the "body" field doesn't show up at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I moved a site with it's SSL cert from a CentOS 5.6 box to a CentOS 6.0 box and ran in to a couple issues. I solved them and thought I'd share.

On the vanilla CentOS 6.0 box I saw some errors relating to mod_wsgi:
[error] Exception KeyError: KeyError(14064521236192,) in <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib64/python2.6/threading.pyc'> ignored
[warn] mod_wsgi: Compiled for Python/2.6.2.
[warn] mod_wsgi: Runtime using Python/2.6.5.

Those were fixed by downloading and compiling the newer mod_wsgi 3.3

I'm using the new drupal install and i;ve installed bluemasters template but the layout and html code i have used doesnt display any of the page content correctly.....
my site is; http://www.marixtherapy.com

as you can see on the about us page - http://www.marixtherapy.com/node/1

all the text is bulked together and it wont space out as I have built it and how it appears in the preview? any ideas?

Many thanks

hello everyone,

I'm having difficulties transferring my drupal 7 site from one server to another... In short, once everything is transferred, I can't login to the new site, the login button results in nothing at all (the site comes back to the same page, with no error message). I have pinpointed the problem to the (mysql) database. Here's what I've done and why I came to that conclusion:

1) mysqldumped the database
2) rsynced the files from one site to another
3) restored the database to the new server
4) adjusted sites/default/settings.php to reflect the new database info (nothing to change except for db info, base url is commented out)
5) tried to login to the new site, resulting in nothing as stated above - no error message, keep getting back to the same login page
6) cleared cache, cookies, even tried another browser, still can't login
7) installed a new drupal site to the new server to make sure it works properly
8) was able to logon to the newly installed site
9) rsynced the files again, adjusting the settings.php file but leaving the newly installed site's database
10) still can login to the new site
11) restored the old database over the new installation's one
12) can't login
13) tried to change base_url and cookie_domain in settings.php, still no avail

Hi there,

I'm a complete newbie to version 7, but I've been using version 6 on a dozen or so sites for years. I've never seen anything like this, and no searches of this site, or the internet in general, has produced any helpful information. I'm hoping someone here has seen this.

Last night, I tried to install 7.8 clean on an empty directory and a new database (LAMP stack). All went well, until the 'database configuration' step, which failed with the following error:
