  <pre><code>NNH@comp:/var/www/drupal$ sudo drush en module_filter    
  Command pm-enable needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will   [error]    
  need invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run    
  this command.    
  The drush command 'en module_filter' could not be executed.          [error]    
  Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database.         [error]    
  Hint: This error often occurs when Drush is trying to bootstrap a    
  site that has not been installed or does not have a configured    
  database.and tried it.    
  
  Drush was attempting to connect to :     
    Drupal version    : 7.14    
    Site URI          : http: //default    
    Database driver   : mysql    
    Database hostname : localhost    
    Database username : drupal7    
    Database name     : drupal7     
    Default theme     : garland    
    Administration theme: garland    
    PHP configuration :     
    Drush version     : 5.3    
    Drush configuration:     
    Drupal root       : /var/www/drupal    
    Site path         : sites/default    
    Modules path      : sites/all/modules    
    Themes path       : sites/all/themes    
    File directory path: sites/default/files    
    %paths            : Array    
  
  You can select another site with a working database setup by    
  specifying the URI to use with the --uri parameter on the command    
  line or $options['uri'] in your drushrc.php file.
