Installing Drupal

The document http://drupal.org/documentation/install/create-database has these two section names: "Create a database and user using phpMyAdmin" and "Create a database from the command line". There seems to be something amiss between them. Since I don't have phpMyAdmin, I'm just using the command line approach. The command line part doesn't say anything about creating a user even though the PHP way does. Why is that?

Hi there,

i am trying to install drupal 6.20 on my system but it seems it can't recognize mysql database i have installed.
On the browserm in the installation wizard i get the following message:
"Database configuration
Your web server does not appear to support any common database types. Check with your hosting provider to see if they offer any databases that Drupal supports."

It there any module for Drupal 7 to give permission by role on nodes ? If there any tutorial on how create module to do such thing ? I'm looking to have a solution to restrict acces to nodes by roles or even taxonomy but for Drupal 7.

Thanks !

We are running Red Hat Linux and have extensive SQL Server resources and wish to not have to support another database architecture as well (MySQL). With Drupal 7's support of PDO, we were hoping to use unixODBC in conjunction with EasySoft's MSSQL driver but I can't get the installer to recognize the odbc PDO. There is no ODBC database directory or inc file. I think I'm SOL but have seen enough hints online that folks have used ODBC that I thought I would ask the question. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, to the community ...
First of all I apologize for my poor English.
I have a problem that should be very simple to solve but i do not how to do it, I have days looking through all the forums and google for half the world ... I can not find anything about it, and it must be because the solution must be obvious or is that not to do as I'm trying .....

I am making a page with a friend using Drupal7 ....
we're both going to work on the same page and we thought that the best way to work both at the time the page is set up a local server on one computer and access the page from another computer from local net, by putting the private IP Server (192.168 ...) .

As in the future we will have to make more pages, we have decided to make a drupal installation Multi-Site, where the code base would be the same for everyone but with different databases ....

The Sites Directory is: sites / all; sites / default, sites/pagina1; sites/pagina2 ... etc ....

The system is mounted in the server computer and everything works to perfection but my problem is that from the second computer, when I type in the browser the server's private IP to access each of the pages, I only get to enter the first or default installation of drupal .... I could not get into the other (Page1, Page2 ... etc ...)

We are desperate because we have days trying to make this work.
