Drupal 7.x

I work as a consultant in a shop where they use Sharepoint for document management. The SP portal is somewhat primitive. The shop uses Windows 7 (not Ubuntu).

For example:
http://projects.companyname.com/sites/ProgramOffice/Project/default.aspx

will display a set of folders.
Then a user will click on a folder which will lead to another page with other files and sub-folders, etc.

I am not a SP developer. Just a user.

Scenario:

I have a Drupal 7.0 site running in Aegir. I was in the process of updating a number of modules (CTools, Views, Views Infinite Scroll Calendar and Date) and adding the Panel Module when something went wrong and I started getting the error at the bottom. The Panels items don't show up in the structure menu making Panels unusable.

Initially I had the wrong permissions on the files but did the correct chown and chmod commands to get them right. I have tried installing and uninstalling Panels and trying different versions and the nothing will add the menu items, and as far as I can tell nothing CTools related will be added to the drupal menus anymore.

Interestingly: this is happening on the live site but not the stage site, since they are running in the same Aegir platform most of the code is shared the only differences (that I can tell) between the two sites are:

- the content
- the stage site has the developer and Kaltura modules installed
- few .back files in the themes directory.
- the stage site had the Panels 7.x3.0-alpha2 Panels installed already when I added the Alpha3 release.

The stage site received the same updates as I upgraded the platform in Aegir without issues.

Full Error Message:

This core returned error!

$fields = array('desc' => 'dasdasd');
db_insert('temp')->fields($fields)->execure();

Bug in file include/database/mysql/query.inc, line 55 and 58 (D7), line 54 and 57 (D7.2)

Fix bug:

...$comments . 'INSERT INTO {' . $this->table . '} (`' . implode('`, `', $insert_fields) . '`) '...

I'm trying to create a new content with drupal 7 but either basic page or article would lead to this error message.
Please help me out!!

Hi, I'm kind of new at this, but I managed to get as far as the database setup for the installation. NearlyFreeSpeech is my host and I'm doing it on phpadmin. Version 7.2 (I don't know the technical jargon of what exact purpose those serve in the installation process).

Though I follow the directions in Step 2 about creating a database and user in phpadmin exactly, I always get this error in the database config page:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2).

I've created a view that only shows posts where a "featured" field is set to "true". In the preview, it works perfectly. however, when I actually use the view in a block, it just shows ALL the posts (ignoring the featured filter).

Why would this be happening?
