Fantastic videos guys...

One suggestion though - a slightly smaller sized file. Not because it's too big of a download, but because my little mac cannot keep up with the frame rate. Am actually opening it in iMovie so that I can re-export as a smaller/downsampled file.

Other than that it's just fantastic.

Just finished installing drupal

I was able to install drupal so easily, all thanks to this video.
It was awesome!!!

Nicely done video

Even though I've installed 4.7 twice now -- just watching it answered a couple of questions for me.

This definitely deserves a link from drupal.org.

Thanks.

Worked like a CHARM for me!

Thanks, that was great. It took me no time to get my new domain registered, with Drupal up and running, thanks to this video.

Of course now I have to add content, modify the theme -- the heavy lifting.

One suggestion? Recommend to people that they NOT user 'drupal' for the database name, user ID, and password. I'm sure most people would know to use something different, but it wouldn't hurt to remind them to use something unique.

Awesome!

I really can't underscore the compliments enough - this is very helpful for people new to the CMS / PHP side of web design.

The install is so easy but without this video I would have gotten frustrated and given up long ago!

Installing drupal

This video is great! But I am stuck after the 1st step. Can u pls help!!!

I downloaded drupal 5.6 and copied the contents to IIS 7

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Drupal

but when i try to run it on the browser http://localhost:80/drupal/index.php I am getting the following error.

Server Error in Application "Default Web Site"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) map policy that is configured on the Web server. The page you requested has a file name extension that is not recognized, and is not allowed.

Error Code: 0x80070032

Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler

Module: StaticFileModule

Requested URL: http://localhost:80/drupal/index.php

Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\drupal\index.php

Logon User: Anonymous

Logon Method: Anonymous

Handler: StaticFile

Most likely causes:

It is possible that a handler mapping is missing. By default, the static file handler processes all content.
The feature you are trying to use may not be installed.
The appropriate MIME map is not enabled for the Web site or application. (Warning: Do not create a MIME map for content that users should not download, such as .ASPX pages or .config files.)

Please, I need to install it ASAP and finish my assignment. Please help!

Thumbs up

This was a very informative tutorial. I am fairly new to programming, I specialize in Design more then the programming element. Tutorials are always the most efficient way to learn because you have to do it yourself. Thanks for the tips and I'm looking forward to your future posts. This file is big for a tutorial at 12 megs but other than that this is very good.
