Error when installing Drupal 7 with install script

Submitted by spool on Mon, 04/25/2011 - 08:00

After encountering problems installing Drupal 7 on an existing virtual domain, I created a new domain and encountered the same problems. I've already tried uninstalling and re-installing on both the new and the older virtual domain. My search of the Virtualmin Form Archives revealed a similar problem we experienced with an earlier version of Drupal for a different client. I read the recommendations but can't find the option to run the script as instructed.

The error message on the latest problem reads:

Error messagePDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'demo_drupal.drupal_semaphore' doesn't exist: SELECT expire, value FROM {semaphore} WHERE name = :name; Array ( [:name] => variable_init ) in lock_may_be_available() (line 165 of /home/demo/public_html/drupal/includes/lock.inc).

I realize we can install Drupal 7 manually but we were hoping to do it with Virtualmin.

I just did a test install of Drupal, but don't see this problem ..

After you installed from within Virtualmin, did you follow the link on the installation progress page to complete the setup of Drupal?

Jamie,

I never got to the link on the installation progress page because the error message shows up instead. You can see for yourself. Go to: http://demo.avenue.org/drupal/

Thanks,
