Installing Drupal

Hi folks,

A couple of days ago I was testing a multi-site install on my local server. It worked fine.

However, in replicating the same install on my VPS (running Debian Linux), I keep getting an error:

Requirements problem
The following errors must be resolved before you can continue the installation process:

The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process. 
Copy the ./sites/example1.com/default.settings.php file to ./sites/example1.com/settings.php. 
....
The directory sites/whatgoeson.net.au/files does not exist.

It's as though settings.php and the files directory aren't there - but they are, and both have 777 permissions (temporarily).

2817-17556:/var/sites/multi/sites/example1.com# ls -l
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10380 May 15 17:50 default.settings.php
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root  4096 May 15 17:51 files
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10380 May 15 17:50 settings.php

VirtualHost is configured as follows:



ServerName example1.com
ServerAlias *.example1.com
DocumentRoot /var/sites/multi

I have been trying to install drupal 6.2 on wamp server and am getting the same problem as many others seem to get.
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\drupal6\includes\database.mysqli.inc on line 115
I have also tried bitnami and there are issues there as well.
Things always run VERY slowly from the beginning and it results in a timeout error.
The only suggestions I have been able to find on either platform say to adjust the php.ini file to allow more time.

After I start filling the empty database with the essentials of drupal via the install page, drupal proceeds to time out in 30 seconds leaving my database half filled and not allowing me to set a user1. How can I prevent this?

Hello,

I installed Drupal 7 for Mac using MAMP as a fresh new installation, not an upgrade.

Dear Support,

I tried to install the Drupal 7.0 but had stuck at register_global error.
The system told me to disable it, but i don't know where to started?
Is this file on the server where i host the web or somewhere else?

Please Help !!!

Thanks in advanced.
