Installing Drupal

I am installing the Meetu installation profile onto Drupal. After entering my SQL information, this error appears on the page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY, expecting ')' in .../profiles/meetu/modules/modules/contrib/covert_fields/covert_fields.module on line 29

This is line 29 on convert_fields.module

function _covert_fields_get_field_for_element(array $element) {

I'm slightly confused about the installation profiles. I've installed a normal drupal installation for one site, and I'm looking at making a site for a different organization and make it using the Meetu Installation Profile. Do I install Drupal normally first, then the profile? Or do I just install the profile first? Or does the profile take place of the normal installation process? I'm such a newbie, I'm sorry, but I can't figure this out!

NEVER MIND! I just found the right section in the installation guide!

I'm installing Drupal on a server with PHP Version 4.4.9 and obtain a parse error when I want to open my index page to configure Drupal : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /homez.378/binderma/drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 655

Can you tell me what to do ?

Thanks

Hello everyone! I am sorry about my bad English, but I have a question.
So, I had build a site for some college where the children take an exams, before start to learn. I did it with QUIZ module that works very nice! And now I need that the result of the quiz (exam) will send the data to external database. For today, the data saved in drupal database table...

How can I do that?

thank you

Hi,
I am adding some custom fields in my blog and even though i am not really concerned whether they are query-able now, i would like to know if I can access thses fields later via simple queries?

Thanks in Advance

We've developed a PaaS that enables users to deploy, manage and customize Drupal on their choice of cloud provider (Rackspace, Amazon, GoGrid, SoftLayer, etc). We have made the deployment of Drupal as simple as 1) choosing the version 2) selecting a data center and 3) spinning it up! In addition to a quickly deployed hosted version, we also offer free test drives of Drupal. Test drives are fully functional, spin up in about a minute and users don't have to enter any billing information.
