Installing Drupal

Thanks, as u can tell I am not confident in my skills with myphpAdmin.

I was recommended by a friend to use Drupal and was advised to install
xampp as it is known that I am a networker not a programmer (even though
in school i got my best marks in my database class). Back on topic, and
on with the problem.

I'm getting the following error message in administer->settings:

"The built-in GD image toolkit requires that the GD module for PHP be installed and configured properly. For more information see http://php.net/image."

And this in administer->settings->acidfree:

"No image toolkit has been properly installed or configured. Go to admin/settings to fix this."

I´m trying to do a Drupal 4.6 multisite instalation in a single database and it doesn't work properly.

The instalation is located in a subdirectory and that's why I had to modify the .htacces to forwarder properly.

DirectoryIndex drupal/index.php

I have created all the correspondant subdirectories in the site's directory:

sites/domain1.com/
sites/domain1.com.sub1
sites/sub2.domain1.com
sites/domain2.com/

I have also changed every settings.php files with the correspondant prefix and url's.

When I do

psql -u username dbname < database/database.pgsql

(after the createlang) it almost runs to completion but then fails with:

INSERT 53059 1
INSERT 53060 1
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "SEQUENCE" at character 7

ERROR: Type "anyelement" does not exist

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_replace() in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cshm/webroot/includes/common.inc on line 1784

This problem happened because pcre was not compiled in with my instance of php-4.4.0

Just did a clean install of drupal 4.6.3 on OpenBSD 3.7.
Apache is:
Server version: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix)

Apache is running with the -u option (not chrooted)

Everything appears to be fine through all the installation and configuration steps.

However, when I post my first story, I get:

user error: File './drupal/comments.MYD' not found (Errcode: 9)
query: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments WHERE status = 0 AND nid = 1 in /var/www/htdocs/drupal-4.6.3/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

The story does appear to post OK however.
