Installing Drupal

hi,
i recently installed rupal 4.6.3 on my site (http://the-falcon.org/ricefield/drupal)
it set up fine, but when i try to create a new account, i dont get an email. is this a common error? does anyone know what i did wrong? sorry im very bad at this kind of thing.

server is running:
MySQL 3.23.41
with phpMyAdmin 2.2.5
dunno the php version, but i dont think thats the problem

I moved the Drupal database to a new ISP and this one does use Mysql 4.1.
Dumping the database and reloading in the new db-server was no problem. When I look into the tables with PHPmyAdmin I can see that they all have correct utf-8 strings (Khmer language).
But when I try to display my site I see only ? (a question mark) instead of the Khmer character.

Hi, i could not install the newest basic installation of drupal without deleting the .htaccess file. I need to know how important this .htaccess file was. I still have it in my computer, i have a webhost. Please dont ask me to try modify the .htaccess file. I have been reading these forums here and tryed everything. Seems, that my host denies all or at least most of commands in this file. And dont suggest me new hosts either... i like this one (many CMS-s dont use .htaccess).

Hallo,
when I active the taxonomy_assoc module and a anonymous browser request the home page (only the home page), it receive the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_set_html_head() in /home/mydomain/public_www/modules/taxonomy_assoc/taxonomy_assoc.module on line 58

The line 58 is:

drupal_set_html_head('<styl typ="text/css" media="all">@import "modules/taxonomy_assoc/taxonomy_assoc.css";</style>');

("styl typ" is really write "style type")

Hi,
I've installed drupal 4.6.3 on my host.
I'm trying to enable commenting options for all users (i.e. authenticated and anonymous)
I've marked both on the access control administration menu.

When I access an article /blog entry I don't have any link for posting comments ?
any idea ?

Hi,
I am in the process of moving from one hosting service to another. I installed everything per INSTALL.txt, and it works fine as long as I don't enable clean URLs (stange things start to happen, I posted those below in the forum but nobody came to resque).

Now I think I've narrowed down the problem. On my old host (where Drupal worked fine, but I have to leave them for other reasons), the url to my page after I log in looked like this:
http://myaddress/index.php?q=node

whereas on my new host it looks like
http://myaddress/?q=node

i.e. the "index.php" is missing. In both cases Drupal is in the root of the web server, .htaccess files are exactly the same as supplied with Drupal distribution, both host allow me the .htaccess file (can check that they are read my intentionally making an erroneous entry in it). On the old host I can enable the clean URLs, the "index.php?q=" part dissappears from all the urls and everything works just fine, but on the new host I get a bunch of problems (like not being able to save settings, old settings reappearing etc. - particularly in Firefox and Opera, IE seems to be ok!), although URLs start to look clean and exactly like those on the old host.

I am suspecting that the hosting provider is doing some rewriting of his own, namely deletes "index.php", but I am not sure. I tried changing
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
