Drupal at DreamHost: Fun

Drupal at DreamHost is something fun, or so I've experienced tonight. I had prepared a full site configuration including modules, tweaked configuration and even content. I did this all on my local machine. Usually, when I do these things, it's a matter of copying over the files and the database, change the database credentials in the settings file, and it's working. Not this time. After doing the above, I got all kinds of weird URL's that were starting with system-cgi/ in the path. Not useful. After reading about many successful Drupal installations on Dreamhost, though, I thought I'd try a fresh install: TADA! That solved the whole problem! It's a hassle, because I had to go through all the configurations again, compare them with my local version, etc etc etc, but at least it works. I'm happy So, now Online Music World is running Drupal, adding some features to the previously available discussion forum!
