Installing Drupal

I had previously installed Drupal 7.0 on our hosted server. Now I can't. I tried 7.2, 7.1 and 7.0.

The big change is that all traffic to and from our sites is now SSL encrypted. The result is now I can't install any version of Drupal.

Depending on what browser I use either the process stalls after the database install (just shows 'initializing') or gives this error:

I have installed php5-cgi on my sme server 7.5.1, but I have trouble my PHP configuration only supports the SQLite database type. How to install PDO database extension for PHP on SME Server 7.5.1?

Hi, I'm kind of new at this, but I managed to get as far as the database setup for the installation. NearlyFreeSpeech is my host and I'm doing it on phpadmin. Version 7.2 (I don't know the technical jargon of what exact purpose those serve in the installation process).

Though I follow the directions in Step 2 about creating a database and user in phpadmin exactly, I always get this error in the database config page:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2).

Drupal successfully installed to website smns.org on Netfirms hosting - But when I go to www.smns.org/index.php and log in, I get the below message on a white page (in Google Chrome, in Firefox, just a blank white page) - any ideas on what could be wrong?

Okay, so I had this website made on Bluehost. I downloaded a backup file. What I want to know is how to upload it on a new host. I've tried uploading it, the problem is, the domain isn't linked to the files. How do you fix it?

I am trying to install Drupal 7.2 using postgresql 9.04 and use a specific schema I have created within my postgresql database. See below for the postgresql documentation that came with Drupal 7.2 that confirms this is supported. The documentation below instructs me to set the db_prefix within the settings.php file for this to work which I have done, Here is what I have $db_prefix = 'drupal.';. I have tried it with and without the "." suffix and drupal still installs in the public schema. Will someone please tell me the trick I am missing, this is very frustrating. Thanks for any help!!
