Installing Drupal

Hi there,

I have an installation of drupal in http://myip/subfolder and is redirected from http://mydomain.com/xxx.

I'm putting together a multi-site MAMP installation of Drupal 7.
I created a folder to hold Drupal, and put the Drupal files in there. Moving them out of the downloaded Drupal folder into my "websites" folder (including 2 invisible files)

With the MAMP application, I reset apache to look at this "websites" folder instead of the htdocs folder inside of the MAMP application folder.

In the "sites" folder (drupal files), I put 3 folders, each with the name of the 3 sites I want to build.

In Default folder I duplicated the default.settings.php file and named it settings.php, so both those files are in the same folder. (or was I supposed to put a copy of the settings.php inside each of my 3 site's folders. I don't know if I only need one settings file or 3.

In the ALL folder there is already a themes and modules folder. Once I also used a Libraries folder to hold CKeditor, do I still need to do that with Drupal 7?

Now, all I need to do is create 3 databases somehow with the exact same names as my 3 site's folders.
Am I right?

And I create the 3 databases by opening the start page in the MAMP application and going to the PHP Admin application there to create the3 databases.
Correct?
I'm using PHP 5.3.2, is that OK?

Most new users of Drupal will be coming from the old paradigm of HTML, and maybe CSS, in order to upgrade their old site to have new features. Using Drupal is orders of magnitude more difficult than what they're used to, mostly because of the difficulty of installation, selection of appropriate modules, and configuration. Also, the scattering of different applications (apache, php, mysql), various documents which hold the site's content, and configuration files that tie the parts together, make an installation messy and unintelligible.

Hello,

I have recently moved my drupal installation and I am getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/a3028798/public_html/blog/modules/comment/comment.module on line 1346

Do you have any idea ?

Note: I don't remember drupal version, but this portion of settings.php may help to guess ?:
$Id: default.settings.php,v 1.8.2.4 2009/09/14 12:59:18 goba Exp $

Thanks in advance !
