Installing Drupal

Hi

OK, got by the first hurdle, have the site up and running, but am encountering the following errors at the top of page. Are there specific files I have to have chmoded to a particular value?

warning: mkdir(files): Permission denied in /home/.../Drupal/includes/file.inc on line 86.

warning: mkdir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 10220/500 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid/gid 99/65534 in /home/.../Drupal/includes/file.inc on line 86.

Many Thanks

Hi

My first attempt at an install. Got the files uploaded, created a DB and used the MySQL script to create the tables. I believe I set the setup.php correctly, but am getting a "500 Internal Server Error". I don't even know where to start, so any help in pointing me in the right directions appreciated.

I installed drupal 4.6.5 on a linux server,
with Apache/2.0.49 (Fedora), PHP 4.3.4, MySQL 3.23.58

when i browse the page, i got error below:

Warning: ini_set(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in /home/allghost/public_html/drupal/sites/default/settings.php on line 120

i checked the sites/default/setting.php, found the source code like:

I am running OS X 10.4 and having an impossible time trying to get the MySQL server to connect. Would someone walk me through this step by step because I am completely out of ideas at this point. If no one can help is there a way to uninstall MySQL and either start over or use another database for my drupal install?

Hi
I am getting no navigation when I first start up Drupal.
Instead I get items like

{head} {styles}

Any ideas?

Hi, im trying to install Drupal on my local computer, but im running into the infamous "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL" error.

Im using WAMP5 1.5.0c as my server package, it runs with PHP4 and MySQL 5. And thats the bugger, MySQL 5 uses a other algorithm for passwords. So i know why i get the error, problem is... how do i fix this?
