Installing Drupal

Virtualmin 3.82 PRO
PHP 5.3.2
Apache 2.2.1.4
MySQL 5.1.41

I can't wait for Virtualmin PRO to get there install script up for Drupal 7 so tried to install the first time manually. I was getting a blank page after entering database info during the install process. I then edited the settings.php file and input the database data manually. I changed permissions to that file and the default directory to make them writable by www-data

When I run the installer now I get this error:

Okay admins - I need some serious advice. I'm an ex NetWare and Windows server admin that has been throw into the land of Linux.

Two months ago I setup my first LAMP server using Ubuntu and then due to PHP issues with Drupal 6 switched to Debian.

Now I need to setup a brand new VPS with Drupal and the Apache Solr Search integration feature on it. Someone told me Mercury might have that already included, but that is over my head.

If it's true where does one find Mercury?

Hi,

While installing Drupal 7 I have an error like this:

Web server Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.4 OK
PHP 5.3.4
PHP register globals Disabled

PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings.

Unicode library Error
Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.http_input setting. Please refer to the PHP mbstring documentation for more information.

Hello,

I am trying to install Drupal 7 locally, and it faiuls when I try to provide MySQL data:

- the ditribution is unpacked, sites/default is made writable by Web server, sites/default/files is created and made writable by Web server
- the http://example.com is loaded and installation starts

On step 3, when I copy sites/default/default.settings.php to sites/default/settings.php (Drupal doesn't do that, even though the directory is Web server writable), I am only offered SQLite engine choice.

When I manually add MySQL data, the installation fails with PHP fatal error. The trace is in the end of posting.

So, in short, is it really possible to install Drupal 7 on MySQL database? How it is done?
