Hi guys. I'm having some trouble with a local install of Drupal 6.0 on Win XP running Apache 2, MySQL 5.

I've been through the install process and have got the "Welcome to your new Drupal website!" page but when I click on any of the links (for example 'Administer') I'm taken back to the index page of my site (i.e Apache htdocs folder).

Drupal seems to be looking for: http://localhost/?q=admin (or whatever the relevant file is) but these files do not exist (or are not in the right place).

Navigating to http://localhost also does not automatically bring up the index.php page of the Drupal site but defaults to the index of the site.

I suspect this may be a problem with my Apache set up rather than Drupal but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry, fixed this myself with a bit of Apache tomfoolery.

Editing DirectoryIndex line in the httpd.conf file (in apache\conf\) to read 'DirectoryIndex index.php index.html' makes Apache default to index.php.

Not a Drupal issue...
