Installing Drupal

Hi,

after much problems, I switched to xammp. It was suggested here:

http://pctips.ustilago.org/drupal-xampp-en

Currently I have a stable single-site 4.7 installation but I would like to set up a second iteration using a single instance of Drupal and separate databases. I have read install.txt and the support forums but no joy trying to log in to the second site. My file structure is:
example.com/gcms/sites/default/seetings.php - this is my first site and is stable with 4.7 upgrade
example.com/web - the url I would like to use for my second site with
example.com/gcms/sites/example.com.web/settings.php - as the configuration file with relevant edits to $db_url and $base_url

Drupal 4.6.4
Operating System Linux
Apache Version 1.3.34 (Unix)
PHP Version 4.4.1
Mysql Version 4.1.14-standard

I'm having a problem after our installation was moved on our server. I'll give you the background first:

We run a community at www.the-town.org which is currently a large board (using Motet) and a small number of html pages, hosted an a shared server at Bluehost. As part of our development, we've decided to move to a VPS (virtual private server) at Private Root and to turn all our static content into Drupal content, thus expanding the offering to our community users. We currently have the existing site running at Bluehost, and set up the Drupal installation separately at Private Root so we could get it all configured and content transferred before repointing the DNS and going live to users.

When we intalled Drupal originally, so that we could work the development site without it continually trying to go back to the domain at Bluehost, the guys at Private Root installed it to a subdirectory at http://thetown.privateroot.com. We figured that once we were ready to go live, we could move it to the top level, change the base URL to http://www.the-town.org, and repoint the DNS. That installation was fine and we were busy getting it sorted out, installing additional modules and getting ready to customize the theme.

Hi!

After setting up the database and uploading all drupal-files I get the following error:

warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 12445 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0 in /home/www/htdocs/compupictures.de/includes/theme.inc on line 77.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: filter_xss_bad_protocol() in /home/www/htdocs/compupictures.de/includes/common.inc on line 631

I don't know what to do know. Can anybody help me?

Thank you!

I've spent a good few hours getting as far as I have, but that's okay because I'm learning as I go.
I've finally managed to get the index.php page to display correctly. However when I click on any internal link displayed by that page, I get the default apache placeholder page coming up. Anyone know why that might be?

user error: Table '***dbname***.node_revisions' doesn't exist
query: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM og og INNER JOIN node n ON og.nid = n.nid INNER JOIN node_revisions r ON r.vid = n.vid INNER JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE og.directory=1 AND n.status=1 in /***path***/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

I get this error when attempting to install the organic groups module. Sure enough, the node_revisions table doesnt exist, but I cannot find the sql to create it. Help?
