Installing Drupal

I just installed drupal 7 with a godaddy.com hosted domain. I have succesfully installed the fusion them. but my problem is, when I enable and set the theme as my default it just puts up a bunch of scripts on my site. My administrator dash board disapears and i cant do anything. i Had to uninstall and reinstall Drupal 3 times. Im at a stand still. Any help will be very apreciated. Thank you in advance.

I do all my work on a laptop these days. It's running Xubuntu Linux.

My question is that I want to do development locally for now for learning purposes. What's my best bet for setup? LAMP directly on my system or through a virtual system like virtualbox?

I know I could easily set up LAMP directly on my system, but it's my "desktop". I'm not sure if this will muck anything up in the future.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I have made my database and changed the settings.php. I goto my localhost and drupal comes up. I click the install and it goes to the next page where you enter the database and username and password. When I fill in the info I get this message.

Documenting specific case of Coreix where I have my own server (but don't really know how to do tech side of it).

Install fails with general error.

Solution - edit .htaccess and create a php.ini in the same directory.

You do not need to edit any other files as the system will look for a php.ini automatically.

A hash is a comment - mainly used to allow plain english explanations of what the code does, and also used as quick way of telling the system to IGNORE lines of code.

To Solve

Your .htaccess with Drupal includes something like this...(note - the php memory is a change I made to it before uploading so default .htaccess do not have this line)

# Override PHP settings that cannot be changed at runtime. See
# sites/default/default.settings.php and drupal_initialize_variables() in
# includes/bootstrap.inc for settings that can be changed at runtime.

php_value memory_limit 256M

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag magic_quotes_sybase off
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag session.auto_start off
php_value mbstring.http_input pass
php_value mbstring.http_output pass
php_flag mbstring.encoding_translation off

Hi

I have no developer skills but have a little technical knowledge. I need help with setting up and installing drupal. i've got as far as copying the settings file but i can't change the permissions. I'm hosted by fasthosts and i cant change the chmod settings as i am on a windows not linux server. I've accessed the site using filezilla instead and connected to the directorie but when i chnage the persmissions i get this message 550 Could not change perms on settings.php: No such file or directory exists.

I dont get it, is anyone out there who can help?
