I upgraded to Drupal CVS in an effort to get ping working. It appears to be working, but in the process I had some database problems. I think they are fixed now. I had to fix some things by hand.
I'm having two problems now. The first and biggest is that I can't change themes. I don't know why. Any ideas?
The other problem is that the RSS feed info that appears on blo.gs looks like this:
http://woot.dyndns.org/drupalhttp://woot.dyndns.org/drupal/?q=node/feed
instead of this:
http://woot.dyndns.org/drupal/?q=node/feed
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

base url
your second problem seems like your base_url may be wrongly defined in your theme or in your conf-.php file
not sure about your 1st problem. check your admin to see that more than 1 theme is enabled - 'admin/system/themes' is the url to that page.
also, a more descriptive title for your post would help people find these answers in the future. thanks.
Database checks OK
I thought maybe the theme problem was caused by the database being out of date, but that doesn't seem to be it. I compared my database with rev 1.80 of database/database.mysql and they are the same. So, either has something to do with the data itself, or the code.
Also, I've just noticed that there are themes that come with the core that aren't showing up in my list, I'm not even given the option to enable them.

update.php
have you run update.php? that is required for CVS installs.
No, didn't run update.php
No, I didn't run update.php. I went ahead and reinstalled and recreated my database from scratch using database/database.mysql. Do I still need to run update.php? (I did a fresh install, using the drupal from CVS.)

no themes
Ok, thanks.
I think the base_url is defined properly. It works fine everywhere except the place I mentioned. The comment says not to have a trailing / at the end of the url and I don't have one.
All the themes that are installed are enabled. I have only the themes that came with the base.

yes you do
update.php is how you upgrade your DB to the CVS release, and stay upgraded. the sql files do not usually change between releases.
