Installing Drupal

Hi, using the contact form to email people on my site does not work.

Also, the "mail" module doesn't work either.

I've not a clue what's wrong as registration details are emailed fine.

Please help, Pricey

I need to set up another databasename than "drupal" before installing. Where can i tell Drupal to use another databasename before I install it?

Thanks for all help.

I've just installed drupal, configure everythin, post a test page content, and I can't see it on main page. I see this in recent posts section, but not on main page.

Greetings All:
I am evaluating Drupal to use for a NPO website. The site need in addition to the usual drupal modules the use of the ecommerce module. However, Iam having problems getting the ecommerce module to function properly.

After entering a sample product, and setting it as an auction item, I get an error that says " user error: Table 'cvc505_drpl1.ec_product_auction' doesn't exist
query: SELECT * FROM ec_product_auction WHERE nid = 1 in /home/cvc505/public_html/sps/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

Cant figure this one out

have created content but only the admin can see it

I get
"Access denied You are not authorized to access this page."

for all other users and yes access nodes are set currently

I'm running a variant of XAMPP with php 5.0.5 and apache 2 (think the problem are these)

where can i get version numbers of apache and php that will work on localhost and where can they be downloaded

cheers

I have recently setup Drupal 4.6.4 on a Win2k/IIS platform. Whent I request the /index.php page the following text displays at the top of the page:

{head} {styles} {_BLOCK_.header.logo} {_BLOCK_.header.site_name} {secondary_links}
{primary_links}
{_BLOCK_.header.search_box}
{_BLOCK_.header.blocks} {_BLOCK_.header.message}

The rest of the page contains the appropriate text with functional links. Why is the header not rendoring correctly?
