I am trying to set up Drupal on a new site. I have it set up but with some problems.

The setup is on www.abusedhusbands.org; it works fine and brings the user to the index.php page just fine. But abusedhusbands.org on the other hand gives a MySQL error. abusedhusbands.org/index.php works fine also.

So, where am I going wrong?

If you go there..and follow the instructions you should be able to get going.

Unusual error that..did you just install it? Normally that page is the first page you see...

There might be a bug in the very latest version of drupal...did you just download it very recently?

Did you change the index/start-page in "administer / settings" to a page which doesn't exist? The default is 'node', which should work.

I just downloaded the new version yesterday. I did manage to set up the 1st user account after I figured out there was nothing really wrong with the MySQL database.

I did change the start page to http://abusedhusbands.org/index.php I'll change it back to node and see what happens.

Thanks,

Charles

I changed back to node and that seems to work. I'll have more questions as I build the site I'm sure.

Hint: You need to specify pages relatively in the settings, i.e. don't enter something like "http://abusedhusbands.org/foo" but rather "foo".

HTH, Uwe.
