Installing for new users?

Posted by JonasNorway on January 29, 2013 at 7:42pm

Hey I did not understand the location for the unzip files, are the files spost to be in the “Root of Public_HTML?
Or do I need to place them in a sub folder under “Public_HTML\New Folder”?
I read this one but it is confusing http://drupal.org/node/996592
And I do not see the “default.settings.PHP” file (DrupalV7.19)wear is it located?

How to remove Drupal and reinstall?

How to remove Drupal and reinstall?
Ok so yesterday the web hosting guy installd Drupal and did not tell me the user name, password or Email adderss he used during instillation!
So I delete the database, user and all the uploaded Drupal files and reinstall!
Now if I go to the web page and try to reinstall there is all kinds of problems and errors!
What do I do now?

Have a NICE day!

It could be a number of things, as you do not provide any info about what errors you are seeing:

Ensure that you are using a brand new DB or at least ensure all of your old tables are dropped from the old DB.
Ensure your settings.php is pointing to the right db
When in doubt flush your cache after installation.

Wihtout you providing more info, I am just taking shots in the dark. Please read Tips for posting to the Drupal forums

Specifically #5 and #6:

Be specific. #

Large open ended questions like "how to i use the x module" or "how do i make a community site" are far too generic and time consuming to answer in a forum thread effectively. They will likely simply be ignored or replied to with a request for more details. Why not save yourself, and the community, this wasted effort and ask clear answerable questions in the first place? Instead of "how do i do i use the x module", ask something like "i'm trying to use the x module, i've read the available docs, checked the issue queue, i've already done a, b, and c but I still can't figure out how to do y.".
Provide relevant details. #

Often, before someone may be able to assist you, they will need to know the Drupal version number, the hosting environment, the specific error generated, and other relevant information. Incomplete support requests just end up requiring a volley of question and answer, lengthening the time it takes to resolve an issue-- if you receive a reply at all. No one should have to become Sherlock Holmes to figure out what you're asking for. You can find a status report in the administration screen, ready to be pasted into a forum topic. Of course you should still provide enough context for the information to be useful.

how to flush cash!

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

Answer these questions...

Have you actually created the database?
Is the database server running?
Have you entered the correct database name?
Have you entered the correct username and password?
Have you entered the correct database hostname? i.e. Does the database reside on a different server than your sites files. This is common in shared hosting. e.g. On Godaddy, the databases are placed on another server, therefore '@localhost' needs to be changed to wherever the server resides.

Working?????

Not shur but I think I got it installd
This is what I did during install it ask for database user name!
I am using a shared host that atteches the prefix “accountUserName_DatebaceName”
http://www.midphase.com/support/q589/What-is-the-MySQL-database-and-user...
During the install I did not use the name of the database that the SQL makes you create!..... Just the prefix name of my account!
How can I know if all is well?

Using USB Drive!

Posted by JonasNorway on February 3, 2013 at 3:52pm

Going to try this one,
Installing Drupal to a USB Key Drupal Groups
http://groups.drupal.org/node/4842
If someone plugs such a USB drive in to a domain network that may be running other web sites using one of the other Apache, FTP clients or running stuff on the same Ports
Do I need to configure Ports on Apache so the drive will not crash the domain?
For securety can this type of USB setup be run using True Crypt?
