Installing Drupal

I'm fighting the "unsupported database type" battle and, after trying everything I've been able to find in the forums and the FAQ, I've run out of ideas. I'm attempting to load Drupal Ver 4.6.3 on a server running mysql Ver 4.0.26. I've confirmed that the database was properly created (it exists on the server w/ 55 tables), and that the correct database url format ($db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database';) and base url are entered in the correct location in the settings.php file.

I installed the module forum and for some reason got multiple links in the menu to the same forum (as posted below). I checked in the menu table of the database to see if for some reason extra nodes had been added, but they havent. Anyone else had this prob?

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find the answer.

I love Drupal, except for the very frustrating search module. I have enabled the search module on my installation of Drupal 4.6.3 and reindexed. When I reindex, my whole site is searchable and everyone is happy. However, whenever I add new content, for some reason Drupal does not recognize the new stuff. When I consult Settings > search, it says 100% of the site has been indexed, even before I run cron.php to update.

anyone knows what to do? i have tried many things and nothing works.

Hi there,

I have enabled clean Url's, but now all of my pages (Except for home) are not finding images or CSS. To go into more detail, the logs are saying: that a file cannot be found users/themes/alex/global.css, so somehow "users/" seems to have got concatenated onto path for finding content, even though in the HTML code (page.tpl.php) I am just using themes/alex/global.css.

This problem only occurs on my theme ( which uses phptemplate), not on the theme which I use for admin for instance.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted,

Alex.

TinyMCE installed OK, looks great, formatting functions work on text just fine, user set to use no filters.

Trouble is, nothing from text area is being saved. Story winds up with no text, and Private Messages will not send because it returns 'no message' error.
