Followed the tutorial exactly.

I get some beef with the .htaccess file..
But I get this when I try to load index.php:

I had it working on a different account, but couldn't get past the database part, even though I was entering the correct data.

Can anyone help?

[elmerato]

^I had the same issue with ArtPisanki. For some reason a transfer from an existing installation messes up something with regards to the database.

I suspect it has something to do with the zymic requirement to edit out the ini_set in settings.php and bootstrap.inc.

Subscribing.

[4iriks]

Hmm , hes saying when im typing the wrong database datas ! but all seems to be right !

[dadajoke]

thank you~!man

[lsimmons98]

Thanks for the great tutorial.
Easy to use.

This installation tutorial will guide new users step by step through installing Drupal 6.x onto their Zymic webhost. The first section of this guide is designed for novice users who don't know anything about Zymic or websites in general at all. For those who already have webspace on Zymic you can skip this part and go directly to the instillation section. For everyone else listen up.

STEP 1:
Go and register your new account on Zymic.com and log into your account.

STEP 2:
Click on Control Panel Home


STEP 3:
Now click Create new Web Host Account


STEP 3:
Fill in your web name and password here


STEP 4:
Scroll down on the page and Tick the Checkbox and copy the 2 words at the bottom and click on Confirm Registration.


STEP 5:
Now click on login to go into your new web account


STEP 6:
Enter your password and click login again

STEP 7:
Now lets make our database, click on MYSQL Database Management


STEP 8:
First you want to create the database in the top field. Fill in a name then click Create Database. The name (including your site name) must be less than 16 characters, so keep it short.


STEP 9:
Next you make your username for the database and your password and confirm it in the next section (see circled area on the bottom). Again. less than 16 characters in total.

STEP 10:
Lastly select your Username from the drop down menu and then assign it to the corresponding database from the database name drop down menu. Click on Assign Privileges.


Congrats your DONE with the Zymic setup! Now lets get to Drupal.

DRUPAL SETUP

STEP 1:
Download the Drupal 6.1 Distribution here.

STEP 2: Unzip the file and save it's contents into a folder that you can refer back to easily (save it on your desktop if you want).

STEP 3:
Now for the fun part. Open up your drupal folder and find your settings.php file at /sites/default/

Open up the file in your favorite web editing tool (notepad, dreamweaver, ect ect) and find this section of code.


Input your DATABASE username and password into the spots provided. Leave the host as localhost.Then input your database name.

Example: 'mysql://zymic_admin:zymic123@localhost/zymic_db'

STEP 4:
Next find this section of code

Comment out the line by putting a # in front of each line till it looks liks this


STEP 5:
Now save your settings.php file and now lets open up bootstrap.inc file located at /includes/ in the base drupal directory. Find this line of code

Comment out the lines using // so it looks like this

Save the file.

STEP 6:
Now using your favorite FTP program upload all the contents in the drupal folder to your website, Core FTP is a good one (www.coreftp.com). Grab a drink if you want, this should take a few minutes at least.

STEP 7:
Once the files finish uploading it's time to goto your website using your browser (example: lizon.uuuq.com). You should get this page

If the page doesn't appear try going directly to the install.php file directly (example: lizon.uuuq.com/install.php).

Click on Install Drupal in English (or whatever language you prefer)

STEP 8:
Now if you had done everything that I had told you to do previously you should be rewarded with the following:

Huzzah! Almost done, fill in all the relevant information, site name, e-mail, ect ect. Click on the button on the bottom of the page to proceed.

Step 9:
W00t!

Congrats your done! Don't worry about the mail error, that's cause the mail function isn't available unless you pay for it. Click on the link and enjoy your new website.

Remember if you ever need help the drupal forums and knowledge base are an excellent reference tool. All can be found at drupal.org

SPECIAL THANKS:
To the Zymic support members in chat who suggested many of the changes here to make Drupal work for me. All credit goes to them and their efforts.

Q: Does Zymic support Clean Url's?
A: Sorry, it doesn't, this has to do with how Zymic handles .htaccess files, so Clean Url's currently aren't an option for Drupal users. This also means that you cannot use such modules like Brilliant Gallery which require Clean Url's to work.

Q: Help I can't get RSS feeds to work!
A: I had this problem as well, this has to do with the coding within the page.tpl files. The easy fix for this is to find the .tpl files for the theme that you are using. This is useually something like a page.tpl or page-search.tpl file
Example:


You want to find part of the code that has /rss.xml listed


Change /rss.xml to ?q=rss.xml

This should solve the problem. This will also correct login and logout links such as /logout (change to ?q=logout) and /login (change to ?q=login).

what is the problem?

[dionysosedhec]

I have the exact same problem...

[dionysosedhec]

I deleted the settings.php file and that allowed me to start the install but now I get some other errors when checking the prerequirement:

I guess the ini_set warnings come from the modification of the bootstrap.inc file, but the rest is more important as it means that the install cannot access the settings.php file...

So I chose to set up the settings.php file myself and give the required access so site/default/files myself but then again I got new errors in the database:

* user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY fit DESC LIMIT 0, 1' at line 1 query: SELECT * FROM menu_router WHERE path IN () ORDER BY fit DESC LIMIT 0, 1 in /www/zxq.net/d/i/o/dionysosedhec/htdocs/includes/menu.inc on line 315.

...
I'd really hate to get back to my other webhost but I think i'll have to do it...

[shavinder]

I would like to add how I resolved an error which cropped up when tried to install drupal. After choosing the language presented by drupal page there was an error at the second step, ie, the requirements step. The error was

The directory sites/default/files does not exist. An automated attempt to create this directory failed, possibly due to a permissions problem. To proceed with the installation, either create the directory and modify its permissions manually, or ensure that the installer has the permissions to create it automatically.

For this I had to grant 'execute' permission for sites/default folder to the 'group'. After this installation went forward without error.
Of course after the install, drupal itself gave an error that 'cron has not been run' which i ran manually by visiting the link shown in the error.
