Installing Drupal

I just installed Tortoise and got today's CVS version of Drupal and installed it on a sandbox site I'm working with, but when I try to do anything, I get a ton of errors:

I have searched for help to no avail. I am trying to get a sub domain with a different theme, same codebase, same content working (I am not sure if I am going to use the same content yet, probably not, I am just trying to get the multi-site feature working). I created a folder in the sites dir sub.example.com and copied the edited settings.php into it. $base_url = 'http://sub.example.com'; I copied the new theme folder into the dir sub.example.com. Not sure why it doesn't work when I go to sub.example.com in a browser.

Question 1:

Does Drupal 4.6.5 have any folders? I do not see any. All config files and modules are in the same place.

Question 2:
I think I've uploaded all files correctly; but when I point to my domain name I get nothing (blank page)

Details:

I am using PHP 5
have access to PHP.ini
have configured the settings files correctly
All Drupal files sit under one folder/dir

PLEASE HELP, I am installing Drupal and Xaraya to compare products. i would like to which one is the best and have the best support community.

Regards,

Hi i'm trying to install pathauto. The module is uploaded in the right place and it's activated but when i go at the settings it says The pathauto module is an extension of the path module - you must enable path to use it. and enable path is a link to the site's name. Any ideeas ?

Hi,

I installed single sign-on module and enabled in modules section and in admin/settings i gave
URL as http://localhost/pig_demo
where my site name is: http://localhost/drupal-4.6.5 .When i login to drupal-4.6.5 with drupal-4.6.5 admin login id its redirecting to pig_demo and it is displaying page not found . When i login with pig_demo admin id also the same is repeating .

What is wrong with me?

I've read though a lot of other posts on getting multisite setups working and on getting mod_rewrite working. I can get either one but not both. Here's my setup: I have hosting with 1and1, and my configuration looks kind of like this:

primary_domain_docroot
|
|
+-- cms
|
+-- site1a.com/cms*
|
+-- site2a.com/cms*
|
+-- site3a.com/cms*

So primary_domain is a big long name that's no real use to me, but it's important because it means that all these directories can be served by Apache. The other sites are the ones I actually pay for and use, I believe the correct term for these is an 'add-on domain'. I've set each site to have its root at a directory with the same name as the site.

Each of the cms* items is a soft link back to primary_domain_docroot/cms, which corresponds to a real directory on the server. At the root of each of site1a.com, site2a.com and site3a.com (siteXa.com for short) I have an .htaccess file that just redirects to its own cms* softlink. That'd be primary_domain_docroot/site1a.com/.htaccess, for example. This in turn serves up the correct site. Of course each of these sites is configured under primary_domain_docroot/cms/sites/.../settings.php.

I also have an .htaccess at primary_domain_docroot/cms/.htaccess which handles clean urls properly as long as the urls are under siteXa.com/cms. To achieve this I use "RewriteBase /cms" in that .htaccess. All is well except that I have this extra /cms/ stuff at the start of all my urls.
