Hello, how could I do this? The admin here is a bit too paranoid and they say that they cannot install drupa because of "security reasons". I was wondering whether I could do a local install as a normal user (but I am foreseeing problems with mySQL, too) on an AFS. I find it extremely complicated to find out what kind of rights I need for drupal to install correctly. I am getting the usual warning: "The Drupal installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, please consult the on-line handbook." And I have not found on the guide anything on this matter: http://drupal.org/node/202483 Am I the first person in the world trying to install drupal as a normal user on an Adrew File System? God, I mean google, says so... thanks, Pau
