Drupal 7.x

I'm getting this error:

* Warning: PDO::__construct() [pdo.--construct]: [2002] Invalid argument (trying to connect via unix://) in DatabaseConnection->__construct() (line 300 of /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal7/includes/database/database.inc).
*

In order for Drupal to work, and to continue with the installation process, you must resolve all issues reported below. For more help with configuring your database server, see the installation handbook. If you are unsure what any of this means you should probably contact your hosting provider.

I've been looking all over and I still can't find how to edit the body section of nodes that have been posted. If I e.g. want to edit a blogpost and go to the edit section, I can edit fields like title, menu, etc. but there is no field for the bodytext? Cannot find artikels on this so please if anyone can help me out....

I'm installing locally on Vista, IIS7 with php 5.3.5 and mysql 5.0.45-community-nt. That get's me to choosing locale of which there is only the default, en, installed. After that it sends me back to choosing install profile again.

Hi
I am new to Drupal and still learning a lot. I have done most of Lynda excellent training, especially the ones by Tom Geller.
I also have a large experience in building my own cms (php/mysql) since more than 6 years.
Now my big challenge is to learn how I can do the same things within Drupal...
What I have not discovered yet is how to interlink database tables together.
Taking the real example of the new project I am working on for example. In my current cms, a very simplified structure would look like :
- table people with people_id (also users that can log-in the site with various access levels)
- table profile with profile_id (for all personal info) linked to table people via people_id
- table blog_story with blog_story_id (// drupal node type blog) linked to table people via people_id
- table blog_comment with blog_comment_id (// drupal comment) linked to tables blog_story via blog_story_id & people via people_id
- table product with product_id linked to table people via people_id (can be a story, a video, a photo gallery, an audio... for free or later to sell)
- table tour with tour_id linked to table people via list of people_id (a tour take group together a series of people with their different products)

Hi all,

I'm new to Drupal Theme Development and was wondering if there were are good online courses or books I should try out to get started? I'd like to learn how to theme Drupal sites with Zen.

Cheers,
