This is a php setting you need to turn off on your web server. If you have access to your server as like a control panel there may be a button there under something like "Apache/PHP settings" to "Turn off Registered Globals". If not give your hosting company a call, they should be able to turn it off no problem

Hi, thanks so much for this video. I'm following your instructions but I received a PHP error. "PHP register globals Enabled ('1')

register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled."

I have not the slightest idea where to change this. Would you be able to direct me?

Jeff, I am not to say (nor think :)) you have produced a bad video, but... I would dare say a Drupal tutorial should probably start with different and much more important things, namely, fundamental concepts. Drupal is a _content management_ system, and those fundamentals are things like taxonomy etc. Setting the folder structure, adjusting ,htaccess and php.ini, etc.are technicalities, which may pose a difficulty for some, or they may not (in my case), but there are much most important aspects.

very nice tutorial about drupal I made my website in durpal and upload it but i have one problem when I click any articles read more or want sing up I cant do I think path problem my site is apnakhuzdar . com kindly check it tell me which file missing or where upload that file or any link of any tutorial l can help me is apnakhuzdar. com

[kilrizzy]

@ismardoi

@ismardoi It looks like there is an issue with your htaccess file or a configuration of PHP. Check your webhost that htaccess mod-rewrite is allowed on your server. This lets the paths to be clean. If you turn off clean url's in drupal, it should fix this for the time being but the url's will look like (apnakhuzdar . com/index.php?q=node/5)

You can try and login and manage the site by using "?q=" as the path like above. The clean urls page is: ?q=admin/settings/clean-urls

great tutorial. Where is your part 2? 

[MrJoeHilti]

@kilrizzy I'm currently using Dreamweaver to edit and upload files to my website, so will I upload these files through Dreamweaver?

[kilrizzy]

@MrJoeHilti yes you could upload all the drupal files from Dreamweavers FTP just as if they were files you had made yourself.

[MrJoeHilti]

Hi I'm new to this and just downloaded Drupal and was wondering where to find the root directory in which to drop the files into???

[kilrizzy]

@MrJoeHilti depends on your web server and the access you get from your hosting company. You may have a folder called something like "public_html", "htdocs", or "website". These would be your root folder, it will be the main folder you upload things to your website.

If you are testing out drupal you can make a folder just called "test" or "drupal", and upload the drupal files there as well

I'm doing mine manually, i use webhost, cant get pass Set up database, it says "Access denied for user '(isqusername)'at'localhost' " any ideas?

[jscook55]

You should definitely do a part 2

[jscook55]

Thanks man. I'm trying to get up to speed on Drupal. After making my site with a wysiwyg HTML editor, it's a totally different way of thinking.

[youwade]

thanks a lot

[youwade]

i want to make a website is it hard?

[kilrizzy]

It depends on a lot of things, mainly what kind of website you want to build. If you want to do a full html site from scratch it may be difficult at first. Take a look at setting up a wordpress or drupal site first as shown in the video and go from there.

The awesome band is Explosions in the Sky, I forget but I think the song is 'Magic Hours'

As for using it on your own stuff, I'm not sure about the legality behind it but as long as you are not using it for any commercial reasons I'm sure you'll be ok

[oarell11]

Thanks. It is for nonprofit use. A tutorial like yours.

[Stevenbadman]

@kilrizzy

Yes, "Magic Hours" :) Never heard of that band yet so went out to discover them, and found that song on "How strange, innocence", great stuff, thanks!

[oarell11]

Great tutorial! How can I find out the title of the song? Can I use it for my own tutorials?
