Installing Drupal

I downloaded the package here: http://drupal.org/project/Services but can't find any installation instructions. Anyone know where

to look?

I have been using Drupal for several years on multiple sites, but I still fear setting up a new site as I keep having the same issues.

1. Drupal 6 is installed.

2. I created the database with myPhPAdmin.

3. I got the name of my user account from one of my other Drupal installations on the same server, so I know my values are correct.

4. I confirm that I and Apache has write permissions.

5. I enter the name of the database, user name, and password on the screen titled "Database configuration"

Hi there. I'm setting up a new install of Drupal 7 and have run into a problem with Drupal trying to get request URLs from Apache. I want to keep the drupal files together in their own directory, but I don't want the URLs generated by Drupal to have '/drupal7' on the front.

public_html/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* /drupal7/$0 [last]

With this setup, going to http://example.com/taxonomy/3 correctly serves me a page as if I had gone to http://example.com/drupal7/taxonomy/3; so far so good. However, the links on that page all have /drupal7 on the beginning. In order to prevent that, I did the following:

public_html/drupal7/sites/default/settings.php:

$base_url = 'http://example.com';

Now the generated links look correct: http://example.com/taxonomy/3, but there is a problem when I actually follow one of them: I get a 404 error! When I look at the 'Recent log messages' report, I see a 'page not found' log entry for the following message: 'term/3'. It seems that the first 9 characters of the request path have been stripped.

I solved this by monkey-patching the request_path function like so:

I have just re-formated my Macbook and went to install my local test environment with Drupal 7.0 and feel really dump right now ...... I downloaded MAMP and followed the steps to install then configure. I thought I had updated the password in the three locations according to http://drupal.org/node/66187 but for some reason I was getting an issue with starting MySQL.

Anyway, I decided I would start from scratch, and deleted the MAMP folder and started over. Now when I go to start MAMP, it does not even start MySQL?!?
