Drupal on Windows

Hi
I am installing drupal at http://drupal.des-us.com. It gives me the error that PDO is not enabled. I inquired with my web host, and it is enabled, which can be checked at http://web.des-us.com/test.php. They told me to contact the vendor. So why is drupal not installing here? I had installed it successfully some days before on the 26th of may.
I also have access to php.ini file, and I have checked that mbstring and pdo both are enabled.
Thanks

Hello all
I am trying to install drupal on my shared hosting plan. I have already successfully installed drupal 7.14 on my desktop windows server 2008 with IIS7. I plan to recreate the same site on the 3rd party webhost.
The hosting plan has the following:
1. Windows server 2008
2. IIS6
3. PHP 5.2.5
4. MySQL 5.0.91

I have setup my core drupal install at a subdomain http://dessites.des-us.com. It was working quite correctly, until suddenly, I get this error on browsing to the site:
Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in ........includes\database\database.inc on line 184

I've been doing a bunch of performance testing for one of my Drupal sites Trailforks.com and decided to compare IIS7 vs Apache 2.4. I host several Drupal websites on Windows Web Server 2008 with IIS7 and love it. I've read more and more articles that show IIS outperforms Apache and other web servers in many situations. But I wanted to make sure I wasn't loosing possible performance by hosting my site with IIS compared to Apache.

Hi everybody:

Is there a possibility to connect to MSSQL with trusted connection associated with drupal users; maybe using LDAP or something like that?

Otherwise can be set a pool of connections for the drupal users and keep track of who user use some login?

Please light me on this.

PD: I do my best with the English so if there errors sorry for that.

Finally got D7.14 installed after renaming the web.config file. The KB's mentioned to support this config file are for Vista or Server 2008.

How do I get it to run properly on both W7 (locally) and 2008-R2?

Thanks.
Bill

I'm not sure if there is a separate group for this type of question but what environment on windows are you guys running? Are you using a program like WAMP? Are you even using mysql, apache? I'd just like to get a feel for what specific environment on windows drupal runs best on? And if there are any warnings when using WAMP?

Also, would this place be the best place for windows specific questions? Is there any documentation with FAQ or anything?

Thanks!

Anyone had problem with Civicrm installation?
"default/files folder writeable? error"

I saw people resolved the problem by doing
attrib -r default /s /d
attrib -r files /s /d

or

using unixtool chmod 777 mathod.

I even did
icacls sites\default /grant IIS_IUSRS:(M)
icacls sites\default /grant IUSR:(M)
icacls sites\default\files /grant IIS_IUSRS:(OI)(CI)(M)
icacls sites\default\files /grant IUSR:(OI)(CI)(M)

Also I tried GUI giving all the permission(check everything for thedefault folder) to IUSR AND IIS_IUSR

SA 2006-006 makes it impossible to execute php inside the Drupal files directory on Apache servers. This is a defense in depth mechanism along with things like file_munge_filename and file extension limits in php.

Windows doesn't benefit from that change since the change was in .htaccess.

Is there a way to prevent IIS from executing files inside a specific directory? Is there some way we can bundle that up and ship it with Drupal like the web.config?

Drupal 7 / MS SQLSRV / IIS 7.5 (on localhost)

I'm trying to create a multisite setup on my localhost account with Drupal 7, and it's not been as easy as I had hoped. The biggest issue is that all of the tutorials on setting it up are for Apache and/or hosted setups.

This is what I need:

http://localhost (main install)
http://localhost/site1
http://localhost/site2
http://localhost/site3

Does anyone either know of a great tutorial or documentation on how to do this? If not, some basic steps on accomplishing this would be great. Thanks for any help.

Hi

I run window server 2008 with IIS 7.5 without much knowledge on the system but running many websites.

I just entered the world of Drupal since last month.
I read so many posts and Q&A on the net but didn't find the right solution for me.

I install Drupal 7 very well. Site is running fine.
BUT when I go "update module" with update manager...
After downloading files and installing...updating...
I get errors like this-example.

Error installing / updating

I'm using the Acquia Dev Desktop (DAMP) Stack, so we've go apache running. I imported my originally-linux-based website and sql successfully.

However, I've linked symbolically so that 'site/default/files' can be reached at 'ppi'. So files like myfile.pdf are linked at 'ppi/myfile.pdf' instead of 'site/default/files/myfile.pdf'.

Unfortunately, my symbolic links from linux broke when I imported, even though I used.

Have I missed something? Is there a way to re-enable symbolic linking in Windows 7 with DAMP?

If your project requires working with Windows and you have both mysysgit and propeople drush installed, it would be really helpful to be able to do something like:

drush | grep super-awesome-drush-function

...yes, you can do this inside ProPeople\Drush\ with Git BASH, but how do you load drush into Git BASH - somewhere outside Drush install directory? Like a drupal web root for instance!

TIA

My install is a local install with Windows+IIS+MSSQL, which was mentioned here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/121629.

I downloaded the Commerce Guys Drupal 7 download from http://microsoft.com/web/drupal, and it's working great. But as soon as I downloaded v.7.2 and installed it, I started seeing a "security update" message stating the following:

There is a security update available for your version of Drupal. To ensure the security of your server, you should update immediately! See the available updates page for more information and to install your missing updates.

Hi Guys,

Hello Every one

How do I setup HTTPS for drupal on iis 6 ?
just to secure the login form ?

thanks taking time to reply

We have Drupal 7 up and running on Windows IIS 7. But we are getting some errors right now that we are finding difficult to troubleshoot (they are not site wide, just specific to editing content types, and editing specific pieces of content).

These are internal server errors, but we have been unable to log these or get a more verbose error message to display. We've edited the php.ini and our web.config, but nothing seems to work.

How are people logging these in general, or how would you to get the a verbose error to display.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I recently installed Drupal 7 on Windows with Apache Web server (2.2) and PostGres DB. When I try to access the drupal site, I'm always seeing the directory listing and if I click on a specific php page, I'm able to see the HTML contents; but none of the dynamic features (search, filter, etc.) are working. I thought PHP wasn't installed fine; but if I throw in a simple PHP page with PHP functions, I'm able to get dynamic contents on the page. Is there any other configuration I need to do before I get started with my first site?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am seeking advice about what might be the best database program to use to create a large pre-MySQL database, from which I will select the content to export/import/enter into a Drupal MySQL database.

I am developing my first Drupal site -- a web portal where information will be organized by relevance to various generations. The site will launch with a Baby Boomer orientation, with information organized for various baby boomer niches, and then expand to serve more generational niches.

Hi.

I'm a complete Drupal noob, tasked with creating technical documentation on a short budget. From what I've seen, Drupal as a front end will work, but I have no idea what modules to use or where to begin. Please review the requirements below and provide any pointers you can.

Many thanks!

Michael
