Installing Drupal

hello, i am new to drupal and i have spent some time searching for a solution but have not found any i have about 20 something warnings on my new install can someone help me?

Warning: Table 'dignan73_drupal.users' doesn't exist query: SELECT u.*, s.* FROM users u INNER JOIN sessions s ON u.uid = s.uid WHERE s.sid = 'ed01612788eba7123995daa8d5842f7b' in /home/dignan73/public_html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 108

I have tried endlessly to get drupal to work.

In other threads noting this error, everyone always said that the problem was in the settings.php file. If I change any of the parameters for the $db_url I get php errors. When I reset it back to the correct values, I continuously get the "unable to select database" error.

Is it the $base_url that causes this?

Thanks,

Jake

1. Copied files
2. Created MySQL db and loaded it with database.sql
3. Edited settings.php with the db username, password, address and site address
4. Tried accessing site and got:

I have a system running Windows XPSP2, which has IIS 5.1. I installed PHP 5.1.2 using a combination of the installer and the zip file, in order to get the modules which are not installed by the .exe installer. I then dropped drupal 4.6.5 (with the directory renamed to "drupal") into my C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder.

After mucking with postgres for a while (why aren't there postgres install instructions in the install document?) I got to the point where I can get this error:

i developed a portal site deployed on developement server working fine. But in production server the blocks are not parsed see see this page and click a link

what might be the problem. please help me. After 1 hour i have client demo..

I have two drupal installations that I'm working with for experimentation purposes:

antisoc.net (drupal 4.7.0-beta3)
and
pgdev (drupal 4.6.0)

At work, I have some wierd behavior with Internet Explorer -- and I can only assume it's a cache problem. The hard part is I havn't been able to duplicate on other machines. So I can't pinpoint if it's a problem with my installation of drupal(s) or with our settings at work. I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot or at least point me in the right direction.

Here's the behavioral problem:
I log into the site as any registered user. Then if I hit the title to go to the home page, I again see the login prompt as if I am not logged in. If I hit the browser's reload button, it recognizes that I'm logged in. There are a couple of other places where I need to do this as well, like in the admin panels. In some cases, it doesn't even save preferences and I have to load up another browser like firefox or wait 'til I get home.

I have IE set to compare cache with the online content every page load. Only my drupal pages give me this problem, and I have several websites running off of the same server (scenespot.org, befunk.com, antisoc.net are all the same server on the same installation of apache). This is also only a problem in IE. I don't have any problems with Opera or Firefox on this or any other system.
