Installing Drupal

Hi

First post, but a biggy! These forums have been of great help as I have worked my way through setting up a new site for my charity/company. Now has come the time to go live, but things haven't worked as expected. This may not be a Drupal problem? Here's the deal.

I installed Drupal 7 straight to the intended server, run by 1and1, to the directory /web/drupal.

Our existing site domain http://example.info is pointed at /web for its files.

Typing http://example.info/drupal offers up my new drupal site in all its glory. Everything works as i expect it to work on the drupal site.

To complicate matters, we point http://example.co.uk (with another ISP) at http://example.info. This works fine, apart from the favicon (another story) and typing http://example.co.uk/drupal also works fine.

So I thought, now I am ready to go live, I'll simply point http:/example.info at /web/drupal, and the rest should take care of itself. I did so, and waited for the changes to take effect.

I can get to the front page, but no custom background (maybe due to hard coded url), but clicking on any menu links gives me a 500 internal server error page. I have checked menu links and they are in the format /node/##. Most pages on my site use clean urls.

I've tried about 10 times to install version 7 onto Godaddy without any luck. I have their mid tier windows hosting plan. I follow the instructions exactly, changing permissions on both files and creating the DB in Godaddy. I go to my domain, Drupal is there, click install...input my database info..it accepts it, but gives me the following error before actually installing....

I get these warnings in the first page of the instalation..

I can still choose the type of installation, the language, then returns an error:

Hello,

I recently installed Drupal 7 to several of my clients sites hosted on a WHM / cPanel hosting service, and came across a number of issues that resolved by using the following PHP.INI file in the root directory of the Drupal 7 installation.
The issues mainly focused on uploading files to the server, such as a custom logo.

Hello everyone,

I'm forced at work to use windows 2003 server as production server and use ms exchange server as smtp server to send email thru drupal.
I would like to know if it 's feasable to install drupal 6 website without issues using IIS or apache

thanks a lot for taking time to reply

I just upgraded my site to v7 and I am total confused by the instructions I have read about setting up a multisite. In v6, I simple created a folder under ~/public_html/sites with the same named as the domain and then I copied the settings.php into the new domain's folder. Then I navigated to the the new domain.com/install.php and I finished up. Now, I keep finding references to symbolic links, etc and none of it makes since to me. Nor does it work.

This is what I have right now:
