Installing Drupal

Has anyone been successful in installing Drupal 7 on Media Temple DV? I tried twice and all I get in a browser is a blank (wsod).

Well I finally managed to install Drupal, but only by disabling the .htaccess file (by giving it a .old extension).

My host told me this file may be needed for searching on my Drupal site.

Can can I get it to work? I tried removing the old extension and I just get a 500 Internal Server error again.

What can/should I do?

Is the .htaccess file really needed?

Dear,

Is it possible to make a content type only visible for a specific group of users?

IE., a normal post is visible for everyone, and Story only for authenticated users. I can only disable all content for anonymous users, but that is not what I want :-)

Thanks for all the help,

Jeroen.

Hi,

I apologize is this is a stupid question, but I'm just not understanding this concept.

I currently maintain a static html site. Recently, they asked me if I could build an authenticated application for them. I decided I would use Drupal since the functionality they want is pretty basic and Drupal offers it. I also wanted Drupal so that I could put the rest of the site on it and they would be able to maintain the site themselves instead of asking me to do those mundane text updates every week. I will be converting the static html pages to the Drupal version after I finish the application (they want that first and quickly).

They wanted the app to be served over SSL. We have bought the certificate and it's ready for use. I'm guessing also it would be best to have the admin pages served over SSL as well.

I still want most of the site to be served over HTTP. The admin pages and the application I'm building I would like served over HTTPS.

Do I have to save all the Drupal files to both public_html directory and the secure_html directory? This would mean everything would be duplicated, which doesn't seem to make sense to me. Having duplicates has to be bad, right?

Alright so I followed the directions:

Open the terminal and type the following:
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password [NEWPASSWORD]

except of course instead of [newpassword] i put my new password

then I get a message

ENter Password:

Then I can't type anything into my terminal. When I press enter again, i get the error "error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

I have looked everywhere and tried a lot of things, nothing will work. I need to change that password!

Thanks.
