As an introduction, I have a basic install of Drupal7 on a minimal Debian computer (system utilities only, with dependencies provided through Aptitude) without a graphic interface. Where I'm trying to get to is the installation of a Drupal package.
I can browse to the Apache start page with http://<site ip> on my local network at this point. >From the Debian wiki, for setting up a single site/application, I get an error message when I issue the line: ln -s /etc/drupal/7/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/drupal7.conf which is due the the fact, apparently, that the soft link exists (from /etc/apache2/conf-available as: /etc/apache2/conf-available/drupal7.conf -> ../../drupal/7/apache2.conf Next I issue the lines of: a2enconf drupal7 service apache2 reload And get no error message When I browse to http://<site>/drupal7, I get an error page from Drupal7. The first part reads: PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'drupal7.semaphore' doesn't exist: SELECT expire, value FROM {semaphore} WHERE name = :name; Array ( [:name] => variable_init ) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /usr/share/drupal7/includes/lock.inc).PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'drupal7.semaphore' doesn't exist: SELECT expire, value FROM {semaphore} WHERE name = :name; Array ( [:name] => variable_init ) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /usr/share/drupal7/includes/lock.inc). How do I fix it? Second question. If I am installing a single application under Drupal7 (CiviCRM is the package), what directory/subdirectory should I unzip CiviCRM into to start? CiviCRM makes its own directory structure and includes a web-based installer if you unzip it to a specific location. Third question. What is the brower URL for that location? In other words, after unpack CiviCRM, I need to browse to that web-based installer. What would that URL start with? TIA for any assistance you can provide. Charlie
