That is NOT an option. My "marching orders" was to get it working on our shared CentOS server. It is not windows ... that is NOT an option.
I am PAINFULLY trying to go down the "main path" ...
I spent 10 hours yesterday trying to configre Apache/PHP with mysql support on that machine .... I tried to do a virgin download of Apache 2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.5 ... I found out then that PHP 5.2.5 doesn't have MySQL support .... I don't care what the reasons are provided I can get the documentation to tell me how to fix that issue .... I was told to use the Apache/PHP CentOS packages ... and Anton provided the link which told me how to correctly how to set that up. As a result CentOS installs Apache 2.0.43 ... and PHP 4.3.9 with mysql support ... so there ya go .... After 10 hours I finally figured my environment was setup correctly .... that was the tough part ... and no fault of Drupal's ....
Now I have what I think is a "main path" environment ... and yes, I agree dropping in Drupal should be trivial .... I did have some permissions issues which I fixed .... and I got the database installed .... I even got rid of that damned white-screen of death .................... Now I get to the page where I create the first account .... I create the first account ... and now I get to the page where it says Access Denied and the first user can't login at all or even to the screen where I set that first password.
I reported the errors I did because I thought that would have pointed to something stupid *I* did .... but it seems when I try to create that first new user .... no new error messages are being generated .... So .. now I am just doing research on the Drupal Forums .....
I'm sorry ..... but I have found this whole process to be challenging .... not just the Drupal Installation .............

Quoting Ivan Sergio Borgonovo mail@webthatworks.it:
I know it is pointless since you'd like to know if Drupal can run smoothly on Resin in a Linux(?) env... but if by any chance you're more familiar with Windows... try Drupal there. You'd be confident that in your system there is nothing strange at least... and if there is... it is your system and you know it.
I do quite a bit of development/test on WAMP (Windows Apache MySql PHP). And I agree with Ivan, Drupal is really painless to setup.
