Installing Drupal

I have a new website that was created with Drupal 4.6.5 on top of XAMPP 1.5.1. I installed filemanager and acidfree that I downloaded yesterday. No problems installing except the filemanager patch had problems with the last hunk. I confirmed that that hunk was already in the current filemanager.

However, when I create a acidfree album and try to upload a photo from a PC on the LAN (not the Drupal server), I get the following error:

Fatal error: mime_magic could not be initialized, magic file is not available in /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal/includes/file.inc on line 149

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I have downloaded the 4.7 beta, and a few 4.7 Modules, and I can't untar them. When I untar using windows I get a single file, of size 0. On Linux command line, I get errors saying the file isn't a valid tar file.

The image will display if called directly:
http://www.sitebuddy.com/files/chris4.jpg

but using the Drupal call:
http://www.sitebuddy.com/?q=system/files&file=chris4.jpg
it will not.

In the logs I can see the error:
Type: "access denied"
Location: /?q=system/files&file=chris4.jpg
Message: system/files denied access

Does anybody know why the website Logo does not appear in Firefox? Instead, I get a link that appears as HOME. I've tried jpegs, gifs, pngs. All fail in Firefox, but work greatin IE.

Help

Hi,

I am completely new to any PHP or for that matter, any coding whatsoever. looking at the great documentation and community here, I have decided to use Drupal 4.6.3, on Linux hosting for my site.

I have uploaded the FCK editor module in /modules/fckeditor such that the files are in ../modules/fckeditor, and enabled it in administer>modules

I can see fckeditor settings in administer>settings>fckeditor

However, the FCK editor itself is not showing when I try to create any content! How do I get it to show?

Please Help!

Thanks!

I am in the process of uploading my site and trying the registration by email for the first time.

I am getting two confirmation emails with different passwords. One keeps sending out user/1, which is not correct.

The other sequences appropriately. The text of the appropriate one is the same as on the admin-->user-->confirmation.
