Installing Drupal

Using the install walkthrough rather than directly editing the settings.php file, the procedure gets hung up. I've reopened an existing bug #873114: PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000] when installing Drupal. Here's the text of the error I'm encountering:

I've been noticing this problem intermittently lately when installing 6.19 on a WAMP server. Let it also be said that I've installed Drupal more times than I can count...

- I copy my files into my local folder (e.g. wamp/www/drupal)
- I login to phpMyAdmin and create a database (database: drupal, username: drupal, password: drupal)
- I create a copy of default.settings.php, renaming it to settings.php
- I navigate to the install (http://drupal.localhost)
- I click Install Drupal in English

Hey all,

Our dedicated server that hosts many Drupal/SilverStripe builds is running on PHP version 5.1.6. This is beginning to become a real issue considering we are getting more and more Drupal builds coming in. I cannot use Drush or take advantage of the latest releases of several modules. We are going to upgrade the server to a new version of PHP, but now the question is which one?

Hi,

I am trying to install Drupal 6.19 on IIS 6.0.

I have installed PHP sucessfully and then i installed mySQL and created a database and a database user.
And then to install drupal, i follow the following steps:

1) downloaded the drupal 6.19 and copied it to "drupal" folder in wwwroot.
2) copied and created a "settings.php" in the sites\default folder.
3) created a "files" folder in sites\default folder.
4) gave all of them "modify" access.
5) Now i go to install.php and being up the installation page.
6) I choose the option "Install in English"
7) It goes to the setup database step and i enter the database details. Now when i click on "Save and continue", it goes to the install site step and this is where I am stuck. It shows me a progress bar with 0% and gives a message "Initializing" and nothing happens. After an hour or so, I tried to refresh the page, and then the progress bar is at 40% and it says "Installed User Module".
This stays like this with no more progress. After another hour or so, I tried refreshing the page and then it goes to the screen, which says an error occured and click here to go to the error page(which is a link) and when i click on it, it goes to "page not found" error.

Hi Guys

I have installed a drupal 6.17 on my webhost (servage.net).

They have an autoinstall script so it is all running fine.

When I try to upload modules or themes they do not show at all.
I have created new folders below /sites/all
- /sites/all/modules
- /sites/all/themes

In there I have uploaded a number of tar.gz themes and modules.
I have uploaded them, un-gz them and un-tar'ed them.
So now they are as foldes below modules and themes.

Now I would expect them to show in Drupal / Admin, but nothing happens.

My header won't load with any url that has a taxonomy category in the url string.

My header location is:
http://www.mysite.com/sites/default/files/header.jpg

But the url to the header changes when it's on an individual post with a taxonomy tag:
http://www.mysite.com/TAXONOMY-CATEGORY/sites/default/files/header.jpg

I guess I screwed something up... any ideas? Thanks...
