Installing Drupal

When uploading, Yahoo server says .htaccess is an invalid file name. What is the problem? Sorry, I am a newbie.

Without .htaccess, I tried everything (creating database etc) and all seem to be OK, but in the end, it turned out to be a blank home page.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

at first: I love Drupal and installed it already at version 4.6.3!

Now I´ve installed the second Drupal installation in the same MySQL table and had to name a prefix like 'abdef_' in the settings.php and by installing the tables and inserts.

It worked fine and I can enter the directories via URL, e.g. mydomain.com/user.

But whatever I do, I can´t access to any menu which is normally shown.

Can someone give me a hint?

I have a problem with my multisite install. The base site is sub.mydomain.com, with the other sites going to sub2.sub.mydomain.com. I have sites/sub2.sub.mydomain.com/settings.php all setup and the site resolves, however, it does not have any menus! This of course makes it very difficult to use.

I am using Drupal version 4.6.3. Thanks for any help anyone can provide

I recently installed Drupal for test/evaluation, on a local WinXP box running Apache & PHP. I run Vpop3 (from www.pscs.co.uk) as MTA.

All went fine until I started trying to add users, whereupon the mail() function would barf : mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in F:\www\drupal\modules\user.module on line 374.

Both untrue. What's more a test Joomla install and Gallery2 both have no trouble sending subscription mails from the same box, via the same MTA. But they seem to use a different method.

After reading dozens of messages here and elsewhere from people having similar problems - it should be a FAQ, in big red letters - I have come up with a couple of solutions.

1. In Php.ini set

;For Win32 only
SMTP = 10.0.0.1

or whatever C-class LAN IP your MTA machine inhabits. Here at least localhost or 127.0.0.1 DO NOT WORK even though the MTA is on the localhost. I have no idea why!

This completely fixed the problem for me, after about 2 days hair loss.

2. There is a cunning little 'fake sendmail' prog at http://glob.com.au/sendmail - this pretends to be Unix sendmail as far as PHP is concerned, and relays the outgoing mail to whatever MTA is configured in its .ini file. I did not get to try it, as #1 did the trick for me, but its reason for existing is PHP mail() being extremely dim where anything other than sendmail is used, especially on Windows. It doesn't spool, however, like the real sendmail does.

When performing a "mass import" in with the AcidFree module, I get the following error in IE:

"file {FILE}.zip is not a valid acidfree element type (Array)"

I get nothing in Firefox - nothing happens.

Man, if I could just get this working I'd be sooooo happy with Drupal :o)

I'm sure thers a sollution. I have followed the steps in setting up drupal. But i continue to get a blank screen when going to my site (www.livingstoneworship.org) I have renamed the .htaccess to .htaccessold in order to disable it. I have checked and double checked the the settings.php and verrifed the correct username and password and the correct link to the site. I have searched the forums with no luck in finding a sollution to the problem. I also contacted my hosting company (globat.com) and that was no help.
