Installing Drupal

i installed drupal 7.i clicked on configuration.however, under system , i cannot see site information,actions and cron. Instead it goes to a page on the server (i think if a problem occurs, this page appears as an error page). i hope , i can explain.

How do I set the database, user and password correct. So far when I go to /http://localhost/durpal6/install.php I get this message:

Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Access denied for user 'drupal6'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

I'm completely sorry for this but I can't find the answer after searching on google.

I went to install Drupal on my localhost but I keep getting this error:

"Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)."

My database connections are correct. When I'm on my localhost I usually use "root" as the username with no password. I did try creating a new user with a password and still it won't connect.

What am I missing here?

Hello,

I needed to move my drupal installation from one server to another.
Everything went smoothly but today I changed something and my installation couldn't connect anymore to the database.
I changed the settings.php file to point to the new database but when I try to run the site this are the messages I get:

Drupal 7 forum post newest to oldest topics and that is great. How do I get each individual post inside the topic to post from oldest to newest, while keeping the topic as newest to oldest.

Drupal 6 was /admin/content/forum/settings

But does not work with Drupal 7. Any idea?

I hope this post help someone else in the same situation.
