Installing Drupal

Hey all,

I'm redesigning a website that already has things like a bulletin board and other database functions on it that i've set up and run. They are all working just fine, so mysql, php and apache are all good. I've added the database for drupal, the user and privs, flushed the db, edited the settings.php file etc, but no go when I load the index.php initially. I still get the "Unable to connect to the database server"

Hi, Can anyone help out a new user:

When I type in http://localhost/drupal-4.6.5/

I get the following on page:

{head} {styles}
{_BLOCK_.header.logo} {_BLOCK_.header.site_name}
{secondary_links}
{primary_links}
{_BLOCK_.header.blocks}

Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website. This message will guide you through your first steps with Drupal, and will disappear once you have posted your first piece of content.

The first thing you will need to do is create the first account. This account will have full administration rights and will allow you to configure your website. Once logged in, you can visit the administration section and set up your site's configuration.

Drupal comes with various modules, each of which contains a specific piece of functionality. You should visit the module list and enable those modules which suit your website's needs.

Themes handle the presentation of your website. You can use one of the existing themes, modify them or create your own from scratch.

We suggest you look around the administration section and explore the various options Drupal offers you. For more information, you can refer to the Drupal handbooks online.

I have managed to set up a username and password however do not get a page which allows me to log in or out.

The administration page keeps on posting the following message:

I've tried installing drupal and was originally experiencing some database connection issues. After making a few adjustments to the file 'sites/default/settings.php', I now see a blank page when pointing my browser to the site address. The address is http://beta.durling.ca. Any ideas on what may be amiss?

Using Drupal 4.6.5, I can create a node (a "story" node, if it matters), edit it several times - each time creating a revision. When there is more than one revision existing - I can delete individual revisions with no problem.

When there is only one revision left - and I click to delete it - I get the following error messages:

This:

warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /<path_to_drupal>/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 239.

And this:

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /<path_to_drupal>/includes/common.inc:384) in /<path_to_drupal>/includes/common.inc on line 192.

If I go back to the previous page (using the web browser controls) - and then reload/refresh that page (the revisions page for the node) - then everything seems to work okay - and the last existing revision is deleted.

But - I think I probably shouldn't be seeing those error messages and using the workaround I've described above.

So, have I found some sort of bug in node.module (in or around function node_revision_delete - it might even be coming from the node_save call... dunno - Drupal's code is new to me - so I may be missing some information here...) - or is this just happening to me?

How do I go about confirming whether or not this is a bug - and how to I go about attacking the bug - if it is one?
