This is a drupal question asked by winhater on 03 July 2009

I’m trying to install drupal-6.13 (the same thing with 6.12 6.10, see below)
onto localhost.
I’ve strictly followed installation instruction, and what I get finally?
When I point browser to http://localhost
(i.e., Apache’s DOCUMENT_ROOT,where drupal resides) I see the message:
“Warning:include_once(include/install.inc):failed to open stream:
No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/includes/database.inc”

The thing is that this script cannot work AT ALL, because the construction
“include_once” takes relative path (relatively current directory) as an argument,
althow the path relative drupal root (the same as Apache’s DOCUMENT_ROOT
in my case) is implyed,
and directory “includes” does not contain one more subdirectory “includes”. So, the script
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/includes/database.inc
is trying to find non-existent file, and this is hard-coded into database.inc.
This is obviously a fatal PHP error in installation script.
And this is not the single example of error of this kind.

Could anyone tell me, how it ever possible to install drupal 6.x??

I’m getting these errors in my admin section of drupal that im unsure i can fix. could someone clarify if i can fix these or will my hosting provider have too?

First error:

HTTP request status Fails
Your system or network configuration does not allow Drupal to access web pages, resulting in reduced functionality. This could be due to your webserver configuration or PHP settings, and should be resolved in order to download information about available updates, fetch aggregator feeds, sign in via OpenID, or use other network-dependent services.

Second error:

Unicode library Standard PHP
Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support.

We signed up a server for backups with bqbackup.com over 5 days ago and still have not received any login details. Is anyone else having similar issues? I have e-mailed them twice and gotten no response.

I am currently trying to install Drupal (currently testing some alternatives to see which CMS is the most suited for a bigger website I am planning to launch). For this, I am using a dedicated user on a vServer (in this case web5). The vServer is already running a website on Contenido and an ActiveCollab project (obviously different user and hence directories etc. – one is web1 and the other web2 – so they don’t share the same webspace with Drupal). All the other PHP/MySQL programs run fine, but I am just failing to get even the install-script of Drupal to start.

I’ve followed the installation instructions and then tried to open the installation script but all I was getting was a 500 – Internal Server Error. I then looked around in this forum and started playing around with the .htaccess file. One thing I have done was to comment the following:

# Don’t show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
# Options -Indexes

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
# Options +FollowSymLinks

This resolved the Internal Server Error – which is now being replaced by the following message when I try to open the install script:
Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /drupal/ on this server.

I’ve then tried to find a solution in this forum for the new error. I tried to link the domain directly to the folder Drupal is in but the only thing that changed was that the path in the error message said / instead of /drupal/. I also recursively set everything in the Drupal folder to 777 but that didn’t help either (already reverted this to the original permissions). I read somewhere else to try with some parameters to specifiy the web address and the server path, but that just evoked another Internal Server Error.

I even tried to just delete the .htaccess – but that only causes the Internal Server Error to come back, so that didn’t resolve my issue either. What is really weird is that I am running other PHP scripts (and ActiveCollab is a relatively complex one) without any problems, never had an Internal Server Error…

So basically, what I am thinking is that I still might have to change something in my .htaccess and I often read that sometimes modifying the httpd.conf helped to resolve such issues, but I honestly don’t really know what exactly to do know and I therefore hope to get some help.

Does any of you nice Drupal people have an OpenLDAP schema layout that works with OpenLDAP ?, I’m trying to setup an OpenLDAP server but i haven’t found any LDAP Schema on Drupal.com , so i have no idea on how to proceed.
Didn’t find any beginner guide on how to setup Drupal with OpenLDAP, only found integration modules where your LDAP server should already be full of users.

It would be great if any of you could share a guide on how to setup the LDAP server with Drupal as i would really like to get started working with Drupal.

I find that the Tier Price attribute – Used in product listing, is reset to NO after upgraded to 1.3.2.2. I try to set it back to YES but in frontend, Tier Price does not show out. It should show something like “As low as …”. What is the cause? How can I show it again?

In the $db_url can you specify a separate server IP address to access a database that isn’t the ‘localhost’
Example: $db_url = ‘mysqli://username:password@IPAddressORwebaddress/database’;

Most recently I was a customer with AxisHost for many years. But eventually, I discovered all my bandwidth allotment was being eaten up by Asian sites whose IP addresses should have been more closely monitored through their Firewalls. I decided to leave Axist Host, the beginning of June 2009. They cancelled my account, effective June 23, 2009 and still submitted an invoice for July’s monthly premium and received the money for July’s premium via PayPal. I exchanged emails with Tina Peters, the Pres of Axishost who claims she is rightfully entitled to the monies. There are tons of Web Hosting Companies out there, including, Microsoft, who will host your doamin for free. This company and this woman who heads it is a disgrace and an embarrassment.

Complaints have been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office of Michigan as well as the BBB who handles the Grand Rapids area. By the way, Axishost does have an F rating with the BBB.

Do yourself a favor, STAY AWAY from Axishost! They’re bad news

I have a working site in mamp environment, and I am now trying to put it online. I have read about uploading the database and ftp the files, then change the settings.php for the new server, and run update.php. Then upload a php.ini file to overcome the infamous php limit. Everything seems to be successful, and can view the home page, but I can not log in or go to any other page. When I was fooling around with other ways of uploading, I installed a new install of 6.13 and saw that the server was not allowing clean url’s. Could this be the problem? When I visit any other page i get: “The requested URL /node/1 was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

Also the mamp site is in a subfolder of localhost, where as the production site will just be in the root. Don’t know is this could be causing problems.

This is a drupal question asked by korda on 03 July 2009

Ive tirelessly read through the handbooks etc. of articles pertaining to multisite installation. What I need to accomplish is to have site1 as my main site with a complete ubercart catalog. Then use domain access to show only specified products on site2 and site3. site2 and site3 need different themes, contact forms etc. but should share the same user login. I managed to install drupal on site1, then I created site2.com and site3.com folders within the sites folder, and placed the settings.php files in each.

The symlinks is where I am hitched, also where the handbooks etc. get very vague. When I visit the site2.com it says drupal is already installed. So I tried a php symlink script I found on the drupal website and couldnt access anything anywhere anymore. The domain names are all using standard forwarding and look at the same httpdocs file from site1.com for public access. Any advice would be fantastic!

This is a drupal question asked by cubran on 04 July 2009

I need some help determining which modules would be best for what I am trying to do.

It’s more or less an affiliate style site with two user types – Advertisers and Publishers:

Advertiser

* Must create membership account
* At signup Advertiser will input company name, website, and other information and will describe themselves via a checkbox into an appropriate Category (e.g., a dmoz.org-style directory category such as Health > Fitness > Men’s Fitness ) or Categories
* Account will only be truly activated with a payment via a paid a subscription (annual or monthly) by credit card or PayPal

What can an Advertiser do?

* With a paid, active account an Advertiser can create content via forms – mostly text but can include images
* This content will sit in that Category’s container, and will remain accessible to Publishers
* Content, when created, can be distributed immediately by email/feed, every 24 hours, weekly, or can be scheduled to be distributed to Publishers on a certain date in the future

Publisher

* Must create membership account
* Account creation is free
* Account creation details will include basic information about company, pivoting around the email address given

What can a Publisher do?

* Publisher can access a filterable content table created by Advertiser either by Advertiser name, by Category, several categories, or all Categories, and sorted by date created
* They should be able to download the same table they have accessed in their account
* They may also choose to be on the receiving end of email/feeds of Advertiser content on an immediate basis, every 24 hours or weekly
* That is to say that Publishers – if they choose email/feeds – would get an aggregated feed of all Categories they select

The general public will not be able to see any of this – only Advertisers and Publishers. But of course as an admin I want to see/know how many pieces of content were created by Advertisers and how many downloads of Advertiser content took place by Publishers.

Some of the modules I’m guessing would be good for this are:

Ubercart
uc_Affiliate2 (maybe?)
Apply for Role
Role Change Notify
Actions
Profile

But as I’ve been doing research I see that some of these do not seem to be set up for Drupal 6. I had also downloaded Acquia Drupal and the number of modules in there blasted me into confusion.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
