First Part To Start Drupal Install Produced Errors, trying to get the Drupal install started

[Emm2]

Hello, I’m trying as part of free web host to do the Drupal install from this tutorial

basic Zymic setup:
http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16544


STEP 12:
It should now take you back to your homepage, if not simply go back to it, in this case it's lizontest.zxq.net/install.php.

marcjourdeuil.zzl.org/install.php

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: Unable to access ./includes/install.inc in /www/zzl.org/m/a/r/marcjourdeuil/htdocs/install.php on line 3

Warning: require_once(./includes/install.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/zzl.org/m/a/r/marcjourdeuil/htdocs/install.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/install.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /www/zzl.org/m/a/r/marcjourdeuil/htdocs/install.php on line 3

My domain name: marcjourdeuil.zzl.org

Database name: marcjourdeuil_zzl_drupal
I created my DB, DB user & assigned priv.
I downloaded Drupal 6.25, unzipped it to a dir. on my PC.

In /sites/default, I edited default.settings.php
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

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

I commented out the code
#ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');
#ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);
#ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0);
#ini_set('session.cache_expire', 200000);
#ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'none');
#ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 2000000);
#ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 200000);
#ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');
#ini_set('session.use_cookies', 1);
#ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);
#ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);
#ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', '');

And saved the file as settings.php. I still have the file default.settings.php

I edited bootstrap.inc
Comment out the lines using // so it looks like this
CODE
// if (count(explode('.', $cookie_domain)) > 2 && !is_numeric(str_replace('.', '', $cookie_domain))) {
// ini_set('session.cookie_domain', $cookie_domain);
// }

STEP 6:
Now open up the .htaccess
Removed the # in front of RewriteBase /

uploaded all the contents in the drupal folder to your website

in web dir, created /sites/default/files directory, made it 775

In my browser, went to
marcjourdeuil.zzl.org/install.php

fixed my .htaccess by entering my domain name: marcjourdeuil.zzl.org

In my browser, went to
marcjourdeuil.zzl.org/install.php

That produced the errors above. Any help to fix this problem is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

dont put # put @ in front of ini_set() and so it looks like @ini_set() and you should be just fine

I thought these lines of code were to be commented out (with a #), however, I edited /sites/default/settings.php as recommended
@ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');
@ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);
@ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0);
@ini_set('session.cache_expire', 200000);
@ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'none');
@ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 2000000);
@ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 200000);
@ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');
@ini_set('session.use_cookies', 1);
@ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);
@ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);
@ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', '');

And ftp’ed the updated file

I tried it again
http://marcjourdeuil.zzl.org/install.php

and got the same error messages as before

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: Unable to access ./includes/install.inc in /www/zzl.org/m/a/r/marcjourdeuil/htdocs/install.php on line 3

Warning: require_once(./includes/install.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/zzl.org/m/a/r/marcjourdeuil/htdocs/install.php on line 3

then some files didnt get uploaded, so first increase your timeout to 120 and then reupload drupal

Thanks again. You were right, some files weren’t ftp’d for some reason, so they are all there now. I did the Drupal install.

When it finished, I got this message:
Drupal installation complete
• Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the site administrator if the problem persists.
• warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /www/zzl.org/m/a/r/marcjourdeuil/htdocs/includes/mail.inc:192) in /www/zzl.org/m/a/r/marcjourdeuil/htdocs/includes/session.inc on line 135.

Congratulations, Drupal has been successfully installed.
Please review the messages above before continuing on to your new site.

Are all three related to email and I can ignore them?

I clicked on my website link and got this:

Does it look ok to start the wordpress install part?

[ssfdre38]

if you get that, then you need to delete the index.html to use the script's index.php

Great thanks. If my ultimate goal was to install wordpress, did I still need to install Drupal? If not, do I need to remove it?

no cause wordpress is its own system apart of Drupal
