Installing Drupal

I recently made a test installation of Drupal on my Windows laptop, which worked fine. I have now made what I hope is going to be a production installation on a Linux machine, and it's behaving oddly. As far as I can see the installations are identical ("vanilla" 4.6.3).

When try adding a new block, I receive following error (paths sanitized):

I installed the module and told it where my ttfs were. I set it to operate for anon posters and user registrations. The problem is that I can not get the captcha image to show up. I get a broken image icon.

I looked at the page source to see where it was looking and I made the captcha directory and made the image directory and the image dir has all the right permissions for drupal to read and write to and from it. is the issue that I did not have the dir structure set up when I first ran captcha? I know that can cause issues for other parts of drupal.

thanks for the help.

two of our sites both drupal based, (seperate installations) same machine we have NO theming just plain text only /misc/drupal.css is loading....it doesnt seem to be loading the templates on either setup, running after downgrade....to satisfy drupal....php 5.0.4 with apache 2.0.55 with mysql.....

both sites www.ozmotorsport.com.au & www.natoliracing.com

this error appears both with restored and clean installs of drupal

Am i missing something in php perhaps?? this issue has been getting worked on since last thursday morning so i am a little desperate for help....puhlease....

hi guys,

I installed drupal (4.6.3) just last night. I am using the "leaf' theme. but I have a big problem:

whenever i use this theme and a few others the message submittion info e.g. "Submitted by whoever on Sat, 2005-11-05 22:50. " DOESNT SHOW UP!!

when i use drupals other themes it does show up. but does not show up when using leaf, gespaa or leaves.

what is the deal? what am i doing wrong.. i been through every option in the admin page and cant fix this to show up.

please help me i really need to fix this!! thank you!

I am getting

'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'

when I get to the 'You can now launch your browser and point it to your Drupal site' during the installation process.

I have checked out other mails to this forum and I am totally lost....

I am using a webhosting company (1and1.co.uk) and have ftp'd drupal to /drupal-4.6.3 directory.

I have created a subdirectory in /sites and added a copy of the settings.php and setup the two variables
