I am trying to get a Debian Linux, Apache2, MySQL, PHP5 system
going.
All of the instructions that I find assume that I am installing
from a
tar file or some such. Debian installs everything, including the
config
files, automatically. The Dbian installation differs significantly
from
the documentation. I finally got Apache2, MySQL and
/drupal6/install.php running but immediately got the install.php
error
shown below.<br>
<h2>Choose language</h2>
<h3>The following error must be resolved before you can continue
the
installation process:</h3>
<div class="messages error"><font color="#ff0000">In your <em>./sites/default/settings.php</em>
file you have configured Drupal to use a <em></em> server,
however
your PHP installation currently does not support this database
type.</font></div>
<div class="clear-block">
<ul>
<li><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://cruncher/drupal6/install.php?profile=default&locale=en">Install
Drupal
in English</a></li>
<li><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://cruncher/drupal6/install.php?profile=default&localize=true">Learn
how
to install Drupal in other languages</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Please check the error messages and <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://cruncher/drupal6/install.php?profile=default">try
again</a>.<br>
</p>
<p>When I finally found settings.php, the file had been
automatically
generated by the .deb installation script. There is nothing
obviously
wrong with it. Debian notes say to use install.php at this
point to
populate the data tables. Obviously this is not going to
happen until
the above error is fixed. <br>
</p>
<p>Any suggestions.<br>
