Before you start

I've decided to create a local webserver to give Drupal a try. Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3 are working just fine. The problem is Drupal can't connect to the database I've made with MySQL. This is the error message I get. Translation of the german part of the error message: "Connection could not be established because it was denied"

So, where could be the problem? :/

I typed in a search to Yahoo for "open blog space", because I wanted someplace to rant from time to time, with the thought that someone may read it (or maybe not). Regardless, it led me to this "Open Blog Space.com" that seemed to offer anyone the opportunity to simply enter some basic info, and start a generic website with their rants; it has not worked out that way. Though I log in and click on "administration tools", "customize and configure", or even "help section", because everything comes up as "access denied", even THAT comes up "access denied"! What gives!?!

I'm on the verge of trying Drupal with the ecommerce. I'm mostly concerned with page load time and security versus my old carts - zencart and oscommerce. I know theres a learning curve which I don't mind as long as the end product doesn't involve all the work involve with the other 2 carts after which when all set up the way you need them they slow down to a snails pace. I have also been looking at the possibility of using ubercart but its only good up to drupal 5.

My organization is planning a complete web rewrite. Drupal comes highly recommended, but we have Java/Oracle applications that must be incorporated into the website. I have not been able to find documentation for this. I believe that Oracle should be fine based on my research, but how would Drupal handle Java apps? Thanks for your insights

Hi!

We have a browser based practice management system.
100+ core tables, 100+ core views, appropriate triggers, procedures and functions - all tables are InnoDB file-per-table with proper constraints in place - all in MySQL.
We are not using an IDE (unless you consider vi an IDE...)
The current structure is [HTML/javascript] <-> [Apache2] <-> [CGI version of dL4 Langauge] <-> [MySQL &/or bash and PHP scripts]
We've written one set of dynamic, re-usable UI and logic code driven by text definitions to maintain and report on 90% of the tables.
The specialized UI's revolve around highly tailored data entry screens for entering charges, payments, adjustments, scheduling appointments, filing insurance claims -- things like that...

Each medical clinic is has a separate schema of its own (with its own set of the above tables/views/etc.) and they all share a common shared schema containing menus, aggregates, etc. (common data)...
One of our sites has 110+ clinics on a single server instance.
"Clinic" users have access to only their clinic, while "System" users have access to any and all clinics.
We have scripted methods to "Add new clinic" (i.e. create a new, empty schema and add references to the common data).

I've installed Drupal 7 core and added features, schema and admin_menu, then enabled those modules and saved the config.

Hi, still looking to do my first real Drupal project, one I get paid for. And I may have one. Here is the need.

1: A website that sells a single product.
2: Must create an account to purchase item.
3: Once the product is received by the customer they can come back to the website and login to purchase a subscription to activate the purchased product.
