Installing Drupal

I forgive myself for being a Neewbie - I hope you all will too...

I'm trying to implement the instant messenger. I've uploaded it OK and added the mysql data to the databse. However, wehn I try and send a message I get the following:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: check_query() in /modules/im/im.module on line 69"

I've looked at that, but it means nothing to me. Can anyone interpret and help, please?

I'm trying to install a fresh drupal installation for a colleague. I've done this several time now successfully and never come across this error message when I try to reach the site for the first time.

All details in settings.php appear to be correct, database appears to be loaded OK.

What have I not done properly?

Installation details: MySQL 5.0 db on separate server, Drupal on hosted Apache 1.3

I'm a bit concerned at the mention of the word "local", because DB is on separate machine.

I'm going nuts trying to solve this, as a non-programmer/developer!

My domain www.kundenprofi.com is in a folder on my domain at www.resolveconsultants.com. I have managed to install Drupal OK and I'm now trying to install the feedback module. This requires that I have Clean URL's. I have checked with my host and their Apache provides ModRewrite activated as a default in Apache, but I can't get it working.

I turned on mod reqrite and clean urls, but did not check to see if it worked. Then Pathauto without proper configuration and got useless aliases, so I deleted the url_alias table and copied in one from Drupal 4.7.0b3.

But when a page is called without the ?q= I get a 404. It is probably simply a problem of clean urls not working.

Any ideas to get clean urls working.

I am new to this site and searched the site for "slash theme mission statement missing" and didn't find anything. The demo theme for the slash theme shows the mission box so I think I must have messed something up. On my site http://project132.com/drupal/ the Mission Statement isn't showing up even though I have it set to show up in the theme configuration.

Hi,

I am a newbie for Drupal, and I have a problem in enabling the Clean URL.

I am using Apache 2 with ModRewirte over Ubuntu. I checked and confirmed that the mod_rewrite is enabled with no problem. My drupal's top directory is /var/www and I have the following .htaccess file on the top directory. But, the clean URL is not working. It says "It appears your host is not configured correctly for Clean URLs. Please check for ModRewrite support with your administrator." when I click to enable at "administer >> settings" page.

Could anybody tell what would be the problem for this? Thank you so much.
