I heard really good things about Drupal but I am thinking it may be a bit over my level, I am good at figuring the basic coding and getting things to work but so far it isn't working! I installed Drupal with no problem. I have the core program and it is working great. I went to install a theme and it is giving me an error. (I was hoping, install, and it works..) I think it may just be a permission file that needs tweaking. I called my service provider and they said, contact Drupal, not our problem. Soo can anyone look at this error message and give me some advice on how to fix it.

I have tried uploading both by url and a file on my computer and get:

An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 500 Debugging information follows. Path: http://mywebsitesname.com/authorize.php?batch=1&render=overlay&id=12&op=do StatusText: Internal Server Error ResponseText: UpdaterException: Unable to parse info file: . in Updater::getProjectTitle() (line 183 of /hermes/web08/b1657/moo.myotherwebsitesname/labpages/includes/updater.inc). 500 Internal Server Error Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, cgiadmin@yourhostingaccount.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

I did look at my reports to see what was there and two !s come up that "may" have something to do with it:

Warning
PHP memory limit 18M
Depending on your configuration, Drupal can run with a 18M PHP memory limit. However, a 32M PHP memory limit or above is recommended, especially if your site uses additional custom or contributed modules. Increase the memory limit by editing the memory_limit parameter in the file /opt/users/moo/t/r/moo.travelwithmoviescom/php5/php.ini and then restart your web server (or contact your system administrator or hosting provider for assistance). See the Drupal requirements for more information.
Error
PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

You need a better host. You don't have enough memory, and the register_globals setting indicates that your hosting company doesn't care very much about security.

You can manually upload modules to your install using an FTP/SFTP client, or even a web based file manager depending on your hosting limitations. If you do not have command line access to quickly and easily unpack the modules (they come compressed as a tar.gz or .zip file) you will have to unpack your module first then upload all the files and file structure of the module (a big pain in the a$$).

Also, it is generally best practice to upload modules to

sites/all/modules

This allows you to upgrade the core easily without affecting your installed modules.

slivsilva,
You'll need to set up a php.ini file and make a couple of adjustments.

To fix your memory issue: Read here Thats a D6 Post(depending on your server - you may need to increase it for D7 - even up to 64 or 120).

To disable the register_globals and fix that issue: register_globals = off You will also add that to the php.ini file.

If you have never installed Drupal before, I would run a basic install and see how those adjustments treat you. Best to knock it down an error at a time. You can always incorporate your themes or extra modules following a successful install.

Read about other options to add to your .ini
