Installing Drupal

I installed Drupal 4.6 with Apache 2.0, MySQL 4.1, and PHP 5.1 on Ubuntu Hoary, and the installation finished fine. But now whenever i navigate to localhost/drupal it shows me the page with no themes, and there are things that i think shouldn't be there, like {_BLOCK_.head.logo} and other stuff... and when i visit the administration section, there are no links to press on, all i can do is view the messages.
Is there a problem with my installation? or something else? What should i do?

Thanx in advance

The only solution i found for this is for Drupal 4.6
http://drupal.org/node/27870

The node.module change enough for the drupal 4.7 beta, i dunno how to patch this again.

can anyone help me out on how to get drupal to stop trying to use empty strings as integer in sql queries?

Hi all,

I am relatively new to Drupal, but am enjoying it very much. I recently set up a site and was pleased with how little time it actually took to get things going out of the box. My problems now are with two modules that I have tried to install: feedback and privatemsg. Both are giving me similar error messages, so I'm hoping that may be a clue to some of you more familiar with these particular modules.

I am running Drupal 4.6.5 and have downloaded the latest versions of both modules. I followed the instructions, placed the modules in the correct folders, made the necessary changes to the MySQL database, but when I go to actually use the modules, I've got problems.

In the case of privatemsg, I see the View Inbox link in the navigation, but when I go to click on it, I get this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_get_form() in /homepages/43/d154088979/htdocs/modules/privatemsg.module on line 723.

If I try to configure the module at http://www.mydomain.com/?q=admin/settings/privatemsg, I get a blank screen.

The feedback module looks to install correctly, I get the message Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_get_form() in /homepages/43/d154088979/htdocs/modules/feedback.module on line 353.

In each case, the common error is the function drupal_get_form(). Does anyone have any theories that could point me in the right direction of how to correct this?

I am trying to transfer my Drupal site from one host to another. My main problem is importing my mySQL database into the new site host.

Drupal 4.6

Original host:
Laughing Squid
mySQL 4.0.24
phpMyAdmin 2.6.0-pl3

New host:
ThinkHost.com
mySQl 4.1.16-log
phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl2

Both are using utf-8 character sets.
When I did it the first time, I used a PC, and it worked fine (I had problems later and deleted the database).
Now I'm trying with a Macintosh, and I keep getting the same error:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'aid` tinyint(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`mask` varchar(255) NOT NULL default' at line 1

NOTE: It says this about whatever is the first table I try to import, whether it's "access" or another table (if I've skipped some tables). It gives this error regardless of whether I choose Drop Tables or not; if I gzip or zip or export as is and use a command line to import it; whether I enclose with back quotes or not; hex convert to bin or not... (I haven't tried disabling foreign key; nor changing other "data" defaults besides hex to bin)

NOTE2: I *am* using "foreign" character sets on my site - but for example, the above table "access" is an *empty table* - so should not be affected by this.

I suspec
