Installing Drupal

I'm trying to set up my website so that the different tabs are set up as subdomains so the article tab would take you to article.domain.com instead of domain.com/article.

I tried to do a multisite setup and have the subdomains set up with the settings.php file into each sites folder in the sites folder.

I'm not sure where I go from here as just about everything I find on the internet seems to talk about settings up multisite so that you manage multiple sites from one site rather than what I am trying to do.

I get this error when trying to install the views module via the "+ add new module" link:

"The specified file temporary://file0gffQr could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured."

I'm posting this in the installation forum because this is a fresh install and I haven't done a single thing with the site except logging in and trying to install a module. It may be a post installation problem, but it seems that something is not being set properly during the installation process.

What are the server requirements for installing Drupal?? thanks

I've just managed to get LAMP configured and Drupal 7 installed on my local openSUSE machine, but having picked bits of information from all over the internet I've found there's currently a lack of clear v7.0 info and hence a few anomalies here and there, so I want to clarify a couple of things before setting about the Drupal install.php configuration.

Hi,

I am working on a new internet strategy for a client. This client is going to launch 24 new websites in 12 different countries (read 12 languages). I am unsure about the traffic but is an consumer A-brand in Europe. Each website needs his own frond-end and content management.

I know that Drupal 6 is capable to run such a configuration, but I am unsure about performance of the core software.I want to solve the hardware site of the story with loadbalancing running 2 webservers and a separate DB server.

Can you please provide me with some advice?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have several installations of Drupal 7, mostly upgraded Drupal 6 with a lot of modules which we have had a hell since module support wasn't very wide yet with the most popular modules, talking most about access control modules which is not surprisingly not yet a part of the standard core.

Besides modules, there have been several serious bugs with content type, converting fields and more, that is not imortand to flag here in this thread.
