Installing Drupal

I've been messing around with installing Drupal for a few days now and when I finally got it working and set up my first account, I forgot my username and password.

I installed it on a XAMPP localhost so I can use it as a test site and no I am looking at the screen and crying.

Anybody care to help this poor excuse of a Drupal real man?

Thanks

Hi,
Has someone installed Drupal over a PHP 5.1.2 version? I tried yesterday and Drupal looked very strange, even with a completely fresh installation, with {_BLOCKS_} code everywhere and no images shown...

Then I re-installed an old PHP version (5.0.5) and everything went fine again!

I suppose this is a PHP 5.1.2 bug, but I wonder if someone had my same problem...

Thanks

I have just installed drupal for first time, and I have got one problem.
When I open the page index.php in the drupal directory, this page has not nay structuration.
It hasn`t got the menu that normally apears on the left.

I installed drupal-4.6.5, enabled localization support and tried to import the german .so file using the option provided. I received following errors:

warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpsumRe6) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/user) in /home/user/public_html/drupal-4.6.5/includes/locale.inc on line 273.
warning: fopen(/tmp/phpsumRe6): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/user/public_html/drupal-4.6.5/includes/locale.inc on line 273.
warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/user/public_html/drupal-4.6.5/includes/common.inc:384) in /home/user/public_html/drupal-4.6.5/includes/common.inc on line 192.

Of course the import failed.

Why does Drupal try to access /tmp and how can I changed it?
Searching "/tmp" I found file.inc containing following line:
define('FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP', IS_WINDOWS ? 'c:\\windows\\temp' : '/tmp');

I was not absolutely sure what this does, but I tried to change '/tmp' (which is not my upload_tmp_dir) to '/home/user/phptemp' (which is), but this did not help. I didn't expect it anyway, because if this constant was to contain the upload_tmp_dir something like

if(!empty(get_cfg_var('upload_tmp_dir')) define('FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP',get_cfg_var('upload_tmp_dir'));
else die('UPLOAD_TMP_DIR not specified! Please specify manually in '.$PHP_SELF.'.');

Hello Everybody,

I have a problem, I am getting any e-mail nor the users are getting the email. I have not still left drupal to outside web. We are using inside our network. We have a internal mail, can i configure drupal to internal mail.

Please help me in this regard...

Waiting for the reply at the earliest

I recently installed Drupal and Gallery2. I obtained the Gallery module for Drupal. Once I turned on the Gallery Block, I got the following error whenever I tried to load a page in Drupal:

warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in /var/www/html/gallery2/bootstrap.inc on line 47.
