Installing Drupal

After creating the database as per instructions in INSTALL.txt, I go to create the first user account.
I then get a page with a password.
Now I click on the LogIn button and it gives me a 404 error for this URL:
http://192.168.1.126:8080/drupal/user/1/edit

Looks wrong to me, so I change it to:
http://192.168.1.126:8080/drupal/?=user/1/edit

I get the main login page.
So I try to log in with my newly created account and pasword.
The login page just redisplays.
No error message, no nothing.

So I check my apache2 logs and find this:
[client 192.168.1.107] PHP Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in /srv/www/htdocs/drupal/sites/default/settings.php on line 114, referer: http://192.168.1.126:8080/drupal/?=user/1/edit

Not sure what to do.

I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out why internet explorer will not correctly load my drupal site. Developed the whole thing in firefox and then checked it in IE to find out it looks like crap. Any ideas?

here are the screenshots

good, in Mozilla

I am trying to upload (and retrieve) files using the DRUPAL built in FTP system.
The files upload good, but upon attempting to retrieve, I receive a “file not found” error.

It appears that I have to use one path for uploads, and a separate path for retrieving the files as follows:

upload: //home/sbcubs/public_html/files
download: /files

Hi,
After uploading Drupal, importing all the database.mysql items and editing settings.php, I get the following error in my browser (when i type in http://www.mysite.co.uk/drupal_install_directory/ )

Unknown MySQL Server Host 'username' (1)

My settings look like this:

$db_url = 'mysql://username:foobar@db138.myhost.co.uk/db75849';
