So, after going thru many topics on this forum, I still haven't found
what is a Xampp(localhost) + Laptop + Drupal configuration that works,
with the exception of buying a MacBook Pro.

What is your configuration ? Does it work fast on a localhost?

I have:
ApacheFriends XAMPP (Basispaket) version 1.7.1
Drupal 6.22
Toshiba Satellite laptop
- AMD processor with 2.00ghz
- 3GB of memory ram
- Windows Vista at 32bit

The configurations above works perfectly, but the localhost is slower than running on a commercial server.

I've got drupal 6.19 installeded locally in an xampp SUBDIRECTORY. Everything works great with the exception of the images are broken. They path being created is missing my subdirectory where drupal is installed.

The path should start with :

http://localhost/drupal6.19/sites/default/files/

Recently I installed Drupal 7.8 and added a few modules and later I decided to uninstall a few modules. So I disabled them in the module list and uninstalled them "successfully" - according to the displayed messages. Now I discovered that these modules are still in the modules list (admin/modules/list) - after "uninstalling" them! But even though they are disabled, they are not available for uninstallation at admin/modules/uninstall. Affected are the modules Wysiwyg, Tweet, Google Plus One +1 and I don't have any other case where uninstallation was successful.

Hi everyone,
I am new to Drupal. However, from what I heard and read, it seems to be a great product.

After testing, I would like to install a LIVE production setup on a Windows 2008 R2 x64 server.

I read that it can be setup using various options:
1. Acquia
2. Wamp
3. Windows Web Platform 3

Which is the ideal setup to install Drupal on such a live system?
What is the most recommeded setup for a live server?

Thanks in advance for your replies and ideas.

I installed 6.14 some time ago, never paid it much attention, and when I ran it again today I was advised to update. I downloaded the Drupal 6.2 zipped archive, and when I attempted to extract it to my HD, I got an alert window that says, 'Archive does not exist - FileName is blank.'

I searched the Support Forum to no avail.

can anyone can help me??

Hey all,

When recently trying to install Drupal, I got internal server errors. I traced them back to these two lines in the .htaccess file:

I emailed my host & asked if options could be enabled.

Their response:

Options are not allowed for use in .htaccess files on the shared hosting servers.

Firstly, is there a workaround?
Secondly, is this restriction common amongst hosts? Should I switch to something with cPanel & easier management?

Hi,

During the "Set up database" phase of installation, I get the following error:

Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'drupal_a2z'@'web8.hosting.digiweb.ie' (using password: YES).

MySQL db name: drupal
username: a2z

Entry:
Database name: gerardo_drupal
Database username: drupal_a2z

Can someone point out where I'm going wrong?

Hi Guys

I am a newbie.

I am running Drupal using Mowes portable.

When I installed Drupal, everything seemed to work except it is giving me an error

# : Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\Program Files\Drupal\www\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 895.

I get a whole bunch of them. I have reinstalled many times with the same result.

I can do most things but I can get to my reports and run status and am unable to run cron.

please help

Hi,
I've not yet been able to get past the initial 500 Internal Server Error after uploading all the files.

I've setup a settings file with my Db data, i've ensured that the .htaccess is uploaded and also uploaded all files several times to ensure that there is no corruption.
I can't figure out the problem. I've just installed joomla just fine on another sub-domain and was wanting to install drupal as part of my research to select the best suited CMS.

What other problems might there be? I can't think of anything :(

thanks,

I'm a newbie. I'm looking for a free installer package for...the works: Apache-PHP-MySQL-Drupal-otherCMS-etcetera. Thanks!

http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac135/Jeannie123_album/securityupdate...

Here's the link to my page I'm looking at. I can't see anywhere to put my security update. (It's unzipped and ready to get copied and pasted if that's what you do) Do I click something on this page, on another part of drupal or type something into the bar above?

Many thanks to you.

Hey guys, I have a drupal multisite installation on my PC (using xampp) that I use for development. In the sites folder, I have a folder named "triangle" which contains the site in question. I want to upload only this site to the web host as a production site. I would assume that I could start with a fresh drupal install on the server and put the "triangle" folder in the "sites" directory and delete the "default" folder. Is this correct? All of the site's contrib modules and themes are contained in the "triangle" folder.

Hello,
I have a new project and I want to start it with D7. Previously I was used to install drupal from CVS and update it on new versions with something like "cvs update -dP -r DRUPAL-6-20".

I discovered now that CVS on drupal is death in favour to GIT. All the documentation I saw so far is on a developer point of view, and is quite massive.. all I would like to achieve is to download the latest stable branch of Drupal and when 7.1, 7.2.. are out to update my local repository to the central one.

I have a new installation of drupal, I did have an installation problem or two and at one stage copied the distribution back over the installed copy, and my hosting provider had to recover cgi-bin

I now appear to have a site running, although I have not yet addressed configuration file protection.

When I try to change from Blue Lagoon to Greenbeam I can only see the text.

appearance/settings/Color scheme any scheme other than Blue Lagoon does not work for me. When I save configuration the users see only text without the css

After install Drupal 6.x in my remote server http://www.ffiguerola.net I can see the main page, the pages to add content but when I press the Admin pages menu a white page appears and can't acces to them.

Dang. I have done everything by the book and yet .... This is supposed to be easier than it is. I am not a newbie, use VI and have been supporting linux and unix for a decade. WTF? There are dozens of answers to this problem and none is like another. I could really use some help.
Thanks.

I updated Pixture reloaded theme before updating everything okay,but after updating it the look of the website changes,WHATS THE PROBLEM?? How can I edit pixture reloaded theme to its previous look.
No Database backup is taken. Only Drupal files have backup.

I am new to Drupal and I am trying to migrate a client site from their current provider to mine. I am experiencing the following error message: Site off-line
The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.
If you are the maintainer of this site, please check your database settings in the settings.php file and ensure that your hosting provider's database server is running. For more help, see the handbook, or contact your hosting provider.

Hello

I have set my file system to "private" (it used to be public).
I have set the path correctly to a directory above the server root.
I can upload a file (as part of a document and using the document editor) and it is saved in the correct directory.
I can delete that file (by clicking on the "Delete" button in the document editor).

HOWEVER - if I click on the link inside the saved document, I get a file not found error or a page not found error. This happens even if I am user 1.

Hi!

I wonder, is it possible to have a local copy of my whole webb-page on my ubuntu-computer? I want to edit, test and experiment on a local copy of the page, and then upload it all to my webb-host.

Can I do it? How? What about different passwords, mysql-databases and so on?
