Installing Drupal

Hi, Folks,

I have a lot to say on this subject, after hammering away for hours yesterday installing Drupal on OS X (OS X Tiger, PHP 4.3.11, mySQL client 3.23.49).

I'm new to Drupal, but have used several other CMS systems. I considered phpWebsite and Plone, but I was impressed by the features of Drupal: great presentation on drupal.org, many many modules, lots of skins (templates), and template editing.

The install was going very well until I tried to get a WYSIWYG module to load up and start working.

I first tried FCKEditor... no workee. I followed the install very carefully. I activated the module. I tried posting a story... no WYSIWYG. I figured out to go to the settings for FCKEditor... I got a blank screen... no error message, nothing.

To make a long story shorter... after finding a lot of chat on the boards about FCKEditor, tinyMCE, and blank screens... bugs and patches and the like... I finally realised that if I was going to get a working version of tinyMCE, I would have to download the CVS version of the Drupal core. Then, after fussing around some more, I found the latest CVS versions of *some* of the tinyMCE components, which I downloaded individually, by hand, and patched the tinyMCE module download.

After this, things starting working normally.

My comments that I hope the developers will read...

First, bravo... this thing looks great and you've come a long way.

warning: call_user_func(phptemplate_templates): First argument is expected to be a valid callback in /my/path on line 339.
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /my/path on line 339.

This is what i get after installing phptemplate engine into 4.6.4, do anybody know, what it means?
Using PHP 4.3.10

Thanks

Hi All,

I am new to Drupal, came from Mambo and loved the clean look and feel of Drupal. One major issue I am having is getting to the "Next Page" from any of the Drupal pages, initially I found this in the Image module, but then noticed I could not get to any of the next pages from the Recent Posts Admin page either.

I've searched everywhere and nobody seems to have the same issue, can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance!

[What I'd give not to always be a Newbie...]

has anyone installed drupal using Plesk?
there's a few posts about this but no resolution as far as if it can be done.

I installed drupal-4.6.3 without Plesk and all I get is a blank page.

my hosting provider has us using an httpd.include

if anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

thanks!

I am not sure where in the bug report categories to post this... I tried to have two custom blocks in my left navigation, both without block titles, and I ran into a duplicate key value error. Turns out the block title has an index set in the table (unique value). I changed this in the table and it worked. Where should i properly report this, or has it been already?

Thanks,

Eric
