@Anil,

The instructions you linked above are for using Webmin, although it shouldn't make much difference. You can create a new user and/or group to own the files in your web directory. In fact, that is preferable. When doing so, you need to ensure that you update the httpd.conf file to reflect your changed ownerships for the "User" and "Group" values. That may be the error you're running into. Let me know if that works.

Thanks,

Bryan

You will need to do one of two things:

1. Enter the command:
yum install php-mysql

2. Edit your php.ini file and un-comment the following lines:
extension=mysql.so
extension=mysqli.so

Let us know how that works for you.

Thanks!

I am getting the error:
******************************************
PHP MySQL support not enabled
We were unable to use the MySQL database because the MySQL extension for PHP is not installed. Check your PHP.ini to see how you can enable it.

For more help, see the Installation and upgrading handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider.
******************************************

I have a database set up and permissions set, but I never even get that far, this is the first page I see when I hit the Drupal site.

Drupal 5.16
CentOs 5.1

@Ryan,

On install, there is no root password for the database. You should login to MySQL by running the command: mysql from the command line. Hit Enter when it asks for a password. Once you've done that, follow the instructions above on creating a database and assigning a user to the database. You will also want to immediately set up a password for the root user on your database. Here is a link on general security practices from MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/security-g...

Please let us know if you have any other problems setting up your db for Drupal.

Thanks,

Bryan

Brian, do you have any article updates for this post? I am trying to setup Drupal on a Go Grid server and I have limited linux and mysql experience, however I have enough knowledge to understand and follow directions. I am trying to setup drupal v5.10 as that is compatible with ubercart.

I am having trouble in setting up the mysql account as the root won't let me create a new DB.

Don,

Have you installed DNN on GoGrid? I am considering this move and would need some direction. Please post to this article if you would be willing to discuss your experience.

Thanks,

John

I was surprised to see this article about Drupal before an article about DotNetNuke which is the premier open source CMS based on the ASP.NET framework. DotNetNuke has made significant improvements in the installation process over the past year. You can have DotNetNuke up and running in less than 5 minutes and the size of the community along with the maturity of the product ensure that it will be a great investment for the long run.

Guys,

You should write a similar article for Symfony Framework. Symfony is the hottest framework right now…

Cheers,
