I just bought a webhost account and I want to use Drupal but is there any way I can put it in the main directory (/html) without doin mydomain.com/drupal-4.3.0? I tried to put it in the main directory but I get some error bout "magic" or editing .htaccess. Is there another way to do it?

I've got my Drupal site running from the root of my hosted site so, unless you've got something wacky going on at your host, the answer is "yes". The description of your error is a little thin on detail, but I would guess that you did not make the "magic quotes" adjustment to your .htaccess file. This file allows you to set php options. Unless you've already made changes to it, you should prolly just use the one that comes with Drupal. I think there is some mention of the "magic quotes" requirement in the install docs.

Good luck!
