Installing Drupal

Hi,

I downloaded the beta 4.7 and am trying to set up multiple sites.
I do everything as prescribed in the install.txt, but when I go to the (sub)domain nothing happens...
The subdomain is an empty folder and I thought it be would be automaticcaly linked to the accompanied drupal-files.

I'm tying to install drupal 4.6.3 on a Windows/Apache2/PHP5 Testsystem.
I followed the install.txt directives till point 5
Where it tells me to point my browser to the drupal site, i get into trouble.

I get a blank page on "localhost/drupal/" as well as "localhost/drupal/index.php".
No hint what went wrong, No Errors. No Warnings. Actually no headers at all.
As far as i can figure index.php get stuck at some point during including "bootstrap.inc".

I have to post this in a different topic than in a previous with other subject.

I did a clean new installation of Drupal, folowed the instructions carefully, and went smoothly to the initial registration process where I have (according to the instructions) to create my first account, which will "automatically become the main administrator account with total control".

Whene trying to submit my username and e-mail addres (for the acount creation) I received a popup alert with "the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". See it here:

i had until an hour ago a drupal site running smooth (4.6.3 with a bunch of modules installed and customized theme).

then i created a block with some php in it (i paste it below), after modifying the /include/common.inc file (adding this snippet: http://drupal.org/node/32272 ).

now i cannot access my site *at all*, a blank page is displayed everywhere.

i understand it might be related to a memory issue, but i couldn't find the way to correctly change it
as stated in http://drupal.org/node/31819:

"Increase PHP's memory limit, either by adding:
* memory_limit = 12M to your php.ini file (recommended, if you have access)
* ini_set('memory_limit', '12M'); in your sites/default/settings.php file
* php_value memory_limit 12M in your .htaccess file in the Drupal root "

well,
- i dont have access to php.ini on my host server
- there's no "memory_limit" value neither in sites/default/settings.php nor in the .htaccess file

i paste below part of my sites/default/settings.php file, just in case.

any help much appreciated!

this is the php i put in the block:

$listlength=5;
$termtolistnodesfrom="2"; 
$nodetype="";
$showuser="yes";
$excerptlength=0;
$title="Most Recent Announcements";
print listandhighlightnodes($listlength, $termtolistnodesfrom, $showuser, $excerptlength, $title);

this is part of my sites/default/settings.php file:

I've got Drupal installed and it seems to be working... right up until a new user signs up. The machine never sends out the confirmation e-mail because I do not have an MTA on the machine and I cannot find a place to add smtp server settings.

I have searched the forums here but, all the answers seem to be oriented towards the windows install (e.g. referencing php.ini).

Anyone have an answer or a link to one for a linux guy?

I have installed a new version of 464 and started configuring it with no problems
Having added the forms.module forms_mail.module survey.module and flexinode.module the Modules screen does not display.
I have created the database tables correctly.
I had flxinode working on it's own.
Having attemped to debug the error the problem seems to be in the module_load_all code loading the filter.module.
I am confused .
Any help of advice would be greatfull recieved.
