How to Install Drupal On 1and1 Servers (23 Steps)
OVERVIEW: Before we get into any of the steps below, I am assuming that you are a web designer or programmer that has been looking for an open source content management platform, and decided to use Drupal. I am also assuming that you are hosting your website with 1and1 on a linux package. If both of these assumptions are correct, then proceed to step 2.
INTRO: Congratulations, you have chosen a really cool content management platform that keeps expanding and growing. I am still learning the system myself, but I wrote this article to help anyone who has run into the same install issues that I had when tring to load drupal onto my 1and1 server linux hosting package. I stress that you need to have a linux hosting package because you CAN NOT install drupal onto a 1and1 MS package. I have tried, and it does not work.
STEP 1: 1and1 Linux hosting package confirmation - Make sure that you have a 1and 1 linux hostig package. I recommend that you have at least a home package, but a business package will really be what you want to help expand the drupal system and to better manage your database. Check your 1and1 control panel settings to make sure you are set up correctly. You should have PHP support and a MySQL database option. If you are on the MS package, you will want to 'upgrade' your package to a Linux package. I had to do this with two of my accounts to get drupal to work.
STEP 2: Download Drupal files to your desktop - Go to the drupal.org site and download the most recent drupal version. At the time of my writing this article, the most recent version is 6.10. Download this to your desktop first so that we can easily work with the files. You will notice that you got a tar.gz file downloaded to your desktop. (link in resources below)
STEP 3: Expand Drupal Files - Now we are going to unzip or expand the files. Since this is a tar.gz file, and not a zip file, I recommend that you download and use a program called 7-zip (an open source file archive program) instead of winzip or other popular programs to expand the files. 7-Zip is a great tool, it is free, and it handles archived files really well. Download this program, then unarchive the drupal files to your desktop. (link in resources below)
Great, now you should have a new drupal folder on your desktop with all of the items fully expanded. If you did it correctly, you will see the following folders contained inside your drupal folder: 'includes', 'misc', 'modules', 'profiles', 'scripts', 'sites', 'themes', and other files below. Many directions will tell you to make changes at this point, but I want to urge you to follow my instructions now to help you visual and check in real-time the changes you are making.
STEP 4: FTP drupal files to your web server - Now take all of these files and FTP them to the root of your website. This would be the www folder or the main directory of your site. For the 1and1 server package, it would be the following www.yoursitename.com/ where you will see the '/' in your FTP client. I recommend that you drop the entire drupal folder into this directory to learn how to install the tool. Once you learn how to install the tool, you can later move all of the files out of the folder and drop them directly into your site's root structure. For this example, just call the folder 'drupal' - so for the purposes of this example and to help you install the program, you will be working with the following directory on your own server: 'www.yoursitenamehere/drupal'
STEP 5: Take a look at the drupal web install guide - The cool thing about drupal is that it has an install guide that you can access using a web browser. It helps you by giving you a checklist of things you need to correct, and it also allows you see that you have put the files onto your website server correctly. In this step, we are going to take a look at the web browser install tool, and proceed with configuring some files to get this to work correctly. If you followed my example, you can now open a web broswer and type in the following URL path to get to the installation of the drupal tool: www.yoursitenamehere/drupalIf you did as I specified, you should a screen that looks like the one attached. This will be the drupal online install guide, and it will immediately show us an error screen indicating that we need to configure our settings.
STEP 6: Disable 'register_globals' on 1and1 server - So as the error message says - we want to disable our 'register_globals' on our server. Doing this is very simple. For the 1and1 server package, to do this, we are going to need to create a file called php.ini and save it to the root structure of our drupal directory. Within this php.ini file we are going to place some code that disables the 'register_globals'. Now you may be wondering, how do I make a php.ini file? You can do it using dreamweaver, textpad, notepad, or any web editing tool you use. To keep this simple, I want you to do this using notepad.
STEP 7: Create a php.ini file - Open notepad or a basic text editor. Save this file to your desktop as php.ini (if it saves as a word file, that is fine, just change the name later to php.ini) copy and paste the following code into the file and save it to your desktop drupal folder:register_globals = false(see picture for reference) That is it!
STEP 8 FTP php.ini file to web server - Now take this file and FTP it to your web server in the root directory right into the drupal folder this means, drop it directly into the following location on your server - 'www.yoursitenamehere/drupal'. Once you do this, go back to your web brwser drupal install screen found here: www.yoursitenamehere/drupal, and refresh the screen. You should now see an error message that speaks to copying a setting.php file. It should look like the same message as the error image attached to this step. This is a common error message because as part of the drupal install process, we need to copy the setting.php file and change its permissions.
STEP 9: Create a 'settings.php' file - This is extremely easy to do and is part of the drupal install instructions that you can find on the drupal site. I will explain how to do it here however to keep you moving along smoothly. I do want to point out that you should use the FTP program 'Filezilla' for this step, as it allows you to change the CHMOD permissions on a file, where dreamweaver and other FTP programs do not. If you need to take a moment to install the free FTP program filezilla, please do that now using the link in the resource section below.
STEP 10: Create a 'settings.php' file - Going back to your local drupal desktop folder, find the folder called 'sites' and open it up. Inside you should see two more folders named 'all' and 'default'. Open up the folder named 'default'. You should now see a file named 'default.settings.php'. Simple copy the default.settings.php file resave it right into the 'default' folder along with the default.setting.php file. Since you can not have two files of the same name in the same folder, you are going to need to rename this new copied file as 'setting.php'. (see image for reference) and CHMOD it to 777, to make it readable (do this using filezilla if your FTP client does not allow permission changes)
STEP 11: FTP and CHMOD 777 'settings.php' file - Now we want to FTP this file over to your website server file directory into the 'default' folder in the 'sites' folder to go right along with the 'default.setting.php' file. So the path you will be using to FTP this file to your server if you are following the steps of this write-up is: www.yoursitenamehere/drupal/sites/defaultNow, I recommend that you use Filezilla to FTP this file, because we need to change the CHMOD (permissions) to 777. This makes this file readable and allows drupal to proceed with the installation on your server. Once you have connected to your web server using Filezilla, right click on the 'setting.php' file and change the 'file attributes' to 777. Then FTP this file to your server. I am assuming that you know how to use an FTP program, and if not, please see my link in the resources section to my article about how to use Filezilla.
STEP 12: Check drupal web install guide - Once you have uploaded this file to the server in the 'default' folder within the 'sites' folder of your websites root file directory, go back to the web browser drupal install view here: www.yoursitenamehere/drupal' and click refresh. If you did this install correctly, you should see a screen similar to the one attached to this step.
STEP 13: Increase PHP Memory - NOTE: please read the Drupal Database Configuration screen that you have in front of you now. There is a key element on here that we must address before we get into the actual database setup. In the yellow box, Drupal recommends that we increase our PHP mempory limit to 16M to help prevent errors. I HIGHLY recommend that at a minimum you increase the PHP memory to 16 MB, but it would not hurt to increase it to 32MB. To do this, we are going to go back to the 'php.ini' file that you created and add another line of code. Below the 'register_global' code you created, add the following:memory_limit = 36M (See image for example). Now FTP this new file back into your web file root folder and overwrite your old php.ini file and you should be done increasing the php memory. Go back to your drupal web broswer installation screen and refresh it, and you will now notice that the yellow box is gone, and we are left with the database configuration fields. (see image).
Excellent job so far! We are now at the fun and easy task of setting up a 1and1 MySQL database, and tieing it to the drupal program that we are installing. If you do not understand anything about MySQL databases, do not worry! This is easy to set up using the 1and1 control panel and we only have to change a few items in the drupal code to get everything to synch up. So lets get started creating our 1and1 database!
STEP 14: Create a 1and1 database for your account - Now we want to create a database in our 1and 1 control panel. Log into your 1and1 account using the customer login, and click on the MyAQL administration toolbar in the control panel. See image for reference.
STEP 15: Create a new database - Within the 1and1 MySQL admin tool, there is a button that says 'New Database'. Click this to get a screen that says MySQL Database Setup. You will be asked to give your database a name. Call it Drupal for now, select the version of MySQL to be 5.0, and then click 'setup'. You will get another screen that shows you your user name, password, host name, etc. Just click Finish. In about 30 minutes, you will have a new 1and1 database setup. When you have done all of these steps, and roughly 30 mintues have passed, you should see that your new database was created and you will also see that you have the following information for your new database:Database name: db#########Host name: db###.perfora.netUser name: dbo#########Password:
****
STEP 16a: Add the database info to your 'settings.php' file - There are actually two ways to do this step. Option A shown here is to use the drupal web install tool to enter in your database info. Option B outilined in the next step is the manual way to do this. I actually prefer to do the manual method in Option B, but you can do this either way. Here is option A: using the drupal web install guide at www.yoursitenamehere/drupalSimply enter in your site database name, database username, and database password into the basic option. Then open up the advanced options and enter in your site database host name. Then click save and continue at the bottom of the screen. (see image for reference)
STEP 16b: Add the database info to your 'settings.php' file - Here is option B: Manual processNow that you have created a database, and you have all the info needed for your database, we will need to manually add this info to the drupal 'settings.php' file that we created earlier and uploade to our web server. Doing this skips using the drupal web install guide. You might wonder why you want to do this. I have acutally had issues using the drupal web install guide during this step, so I do it manually, but try Option A if you are not comfortable doing this. To do Option B, simply open the 'settings.php' file again using the text editor, and change the following information:Search for $db_url =Change the line from this:$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';To this, using the info from step 15 above:$db_url = 'mysql://dbo#########:
****@db###.perfora.net/db#########';Now save this document and FTP it to your server again using Filezilla as CHMOD 777.
STEP 17: Drupal Final Site Configuration - Congratulations! You are now on the last step of your drupal install on a 1and1 server. If you did all of the steps above correctly, drupal will finalize the install, and you will see the attached screen when you go to the drupal web install guide at : www.yoursitenamehere/drupal Now, just type in the last requirements that it asks you for and click save and continue. It will now take you to your new drupal site and you will be logged in as the admin. Now you can set up your drupal site anyway you like. I will try to write some more articles about how to set up yoru drupal site, but there is a lot to do for this, so you you should probably read the drupal forums on the drupal.org site.
STEP 23: Finished.

How to Sell Websites to Local Businesses (8 Steps)
Contact businesses in your community and ask if they have a website. If so, visit their sites. Make notes about each site's look (whether or not you like it and why), navigability (how easy it is for visitors to find information) and its content (whether the information provided is engaging and gives a distinctive perspective on the company).
Check the phone book to gauge the size of the business's ads. This is a good indication of how it approaches advertising and how much it spends. Create a sample website implementing the improvements you have noted.
Check the phone book to gauge how businesses without websites advertise. Visit these businesses and take brochures back with you. Create a sample website for each business based on the brochures.
Research the latest statistics regarding website use (impact on consumers, best ways to attract consumers, fiscal advantages for businesses and so on). Create a proposal that includes your notes, website samples, statistics, website costs (factoring in the costs for Web hosting and basic search engine marketing), information about you and your company, companies you have designed websites for and testimonials from these companies.

How to Start a Clothing Store With Only Four Thousand Dollars
Purchase a website domain, hosting service and shopping cart system that allows you to upload products. This will cost you about $100 plus about $15 per month for web hosting. Hire a web designer to create an attractive e-commerce website design for your new online clothing store. This will likely be one of your most expensive expenditures---expect to pay at least $500-$1,000 for a good web designer. (See 'Resources' below for a site where you can find more on hosting services.)
Apply for a merchant account that can be linked to your website to accept credit card payments from your customers. You can also open a P.O. box and list it on your website to accept check and money order sales from your customers. The initial fee to open a merchant account will be around $100. You will also pay a monthly service fee of about $20 to $30. A post office box will cost about $50 per year. (See 'Resources' for more on merchant accounts.)
Determine the type of clothes that you want to sell in your new clothing store. You can focus on a small niche (such as goth wear) or choose to offer a department-store type of selection for your customers, including men, women, juniors and children.
Next, find a clothing distributor who will drop ship individual orders to your customers (see 'Resources' below for a site where you can find these companies). This way you won't have to pay anything upfront--you only pay the distributor when you receive an order from the customer. You act as a middleman.So let's say you receive an order from your customer. You take the customer's money, then forward payment to the distributor, who will arrange to ship the clothing from the distributor warehouse directly to the customer's home. You might be charged a small initial fee to start this type of arrangement with the distributor. You can also use clothing that you have manufactured yourself, but the investment in clothing, sewing equipment or a manufacturer to make your clothes will likely cause you to exceed your initial budget of $4,000.
Once your website is designed, upload your chosen clothing pieces to your website. Categorize your products by type (for example, purses, shirts, jeans, dresses, elegant wear, men's and women's). The only investment here will be time, unless you choose to hire someone to take care of this task.
Publish your clothing store online. Your final investment will be in generating web traffic to your online clothing store. Hire an SEO marketing firm to take care of the content for your site to draw in hits from search engines. You can find good SEO help for about $500 to $1,000 per month. Place ads with Google Adwords, which will cost you $5 to set up. You will then set your budget for how much you want to spend each month for ads.

How to Save a Domain Name
Jot down on a notepad the different ideas you have for a domain name with a pen. Create a couple of different variations in case one version is already taken.
Turn on your computer and connect to the Internet once the operating system is fully loaded. Start up your Internet browser software and connect to a domain registration service.
Check the who-is search engine at the registration service website if your name has already been taken. Input the name from your notepad and select search. Wait for the service to tell you if the name is available as a new domain. Confirm that you want to register the name as your own if it is confirmed as available.
Input your contact information and payment tool data as you register your account with the registration service. Confirm how long you want to keep the domain in your account. Pay the fee via credit card or online payment tool account. Wait for the registration service to register the new domain address in your name.
Decide whether you want your new domain to just sit undeveloped or if you want to develop it into a website as well.

How to Upload Word Documents to a Web Page (5 Steps)
Log in to your web hosting account and access your 'File Manager.' Navigate to your 'Home' directory. Click the 'Upload' link.
Click the 'Browse' button and select your Word file from your hard drive. Click the 'Open' button. Wait a few moments for your file to be uploaded, then return to your home directory.
Check the box next to the name of the page into which you wish to insert a link to the document. For example, if you want visitors to your homepage to be able to access the document, choose the file 'index.html' from your file manager. Click the 'Edit' button.
Insert a link to your Word document within the HTML. For example, if you paste the test 'Click here to view my Microsoft Word document.' into your HTML, users who visit your website will be able to access your Word document by clicking on the word 'here.' Insert the text of your choice and click 'Save.'
Visit your website to make sure your document displays properly and that your link works.
