Hi guys,
Please I'm a complete newbie in the realm of programmer, so I chose to do web programming. Following my practice session, I decided to test my first drupal website. But my problem is in completing the configuration. At the end of my configuration I receive "Fatal error: Call to undefined function field_attach_load()..." on my screen. I've browsed through a number of solutions on the forum but honestly, I don't quite understand some of the procedures. Please help me fix this issue and kindly break it down so I can understand. Thank you in anticipation.
