Installing Drupal

Hi,
I just tried to install Drupal on a Linux server where I have total root control.

From Drupal, I get "Unable to connect to database server" but if I use the same username, password, hostname, databasename in a script of my own, it works just fine.

The only difference is that my test script does it this way:
$dbh = mysql_connect('localhost','dbname','password');
mysql_select_db('dbname',$dbh);

Password has only char and digits...no special chars of any time
Username is simple as well (just char)
dbname also has just char

Hello,

Is there anyone here who can help me with the installation of Drupal? I am not very experienced :(. I got my own MySQL and so on. I can control all this using cPanel X (I do not know if this is important). If you want to help me, please add me on MSN. My e-mail is [EDITED upon request]!

Thanx for your help :)

I installed drupal 4.6.5 on FreeBSD and configured site/default/settings.php
But when I tried to connect through firefox. I got a 500 error message.

after all. I found a solution that remove .htaccess in drupal home.
now drupal works fine.

is this solution fine? any security problmes?

Hi,

can someone explain why the following values where choosen by default:

The basics:

Drupal Version 4.6.5
TinyMCE Module Version 4.6.0
TinyMCE Engine Version 2.0.3 (currently)

Well this is my last resort I've googled and browsed the forum but haven't found anything to solve my problem yet, so I hope someone can help me.

I have installed drupal many times before, but this was the first time I installed it on a windows machine. I used wamp to install Apache and mysql.

For some reason xtemplate is not processing. The xtemplate values are being displaying.
Maybe I am missing something in my apache, php config, or a module needs to be add to apache.
