Topic: Drupal SIMPLE problem (Installation)

[amritbera]

Hi,
i am using Linux (Ubuntu 9.10), with apache 2, MySQL and php 5.2

i have a Drupal site in /home/amrit/WWW/myDrupalSite/ and i have one more site in /home/amrit/WWW/

i have symbolic link to the apache www directory. and i am able to access both the drupal sites from my browser http://localhost/MyWEB/

Everything is working fine. Since this is just a development machine, i dont care much about the permissions and given full access to all.

Now, as instructed, i extracted the mibew zip file and moved it to  /home/amrit/WWW/myDrupalSite/webim163, and then modified the permissions and MySQL settings.. then i browsed to http://localhost/MyWEB/myDrupalSite/webim/install

I am getting a "Page not found error", which is being handeled by Drupal, since drupal is giving the theme to the error page.
But, other pages of the site is working fine..

i copied the webim163 folder directly to  /home/amrit/WWW/ and then tried to access http://localhost/MyWEB/webim163/webim/install
still the same page not found error, but this this time the error page looks like a default apache error page (with white background and black bold text).

i think it has a very simple solution.. may be with the apache config?? i have default installation configuration for apache, only modified a little in the apache httpd to enable clean URLs and the php.ini file to increase the execution time (900 ms) and memory (256 M)

hope you can help..

thanks & tc

sorry, i was too much careless... renamed the webim folder from webim 163 to web im and got installation page at
http://localhost/MYWEB/myDrupalSite/webim/install/

and clicked the create table link..

But got ERROR:

Not Found

The requested URL /myDrupalSite/webim/install/dbperform.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

i have $webimroot = "/myDrupalSite/webim/"; (with this value, i am getting the installation page...!!)

can anybody explain me what should be the value $webimroot

thanks

You can do whatever you want, except removing a link to mibew.org from the chat window.
See http://mibew.org/license.php

$webimroot defines absolute path to Mibew within your site.
