Installing Drupal

Hello all,

I am new to Drupal. I installed it on a Windows box latest CVS, My SQL 4.1.x and PHP 4.4.
It's working ok only when I try to save primary or secondary links it won't save them.
I tried several themes and the option is enabled.

It also says whan I save the configuration that it was done.
But as soon as I reload the page the fields are clear again.

Is there anything I am missing here?
Is there an option to put those links in the database manually?

Hi,

I have uploaded Drupal and created its database. However, I think there's something wrong with my setup as far as paths are concerned. I ap seeing the following (as an example):

http://www.timrowe.co.uk//?q=node/add

There are two forward-slash signs after the domain name.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many Thanks,
Tim

I am new to drupal.

I have a problem installing a theme.

here's what i did:

1. extracted theme democratica
2. move it to theme directory
3. change ownership to httpd user
4. accessed the site then click administer-->theme, i got this errror?
warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for themes/democratica (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/file.inc on line 527.

i could not find the theme in the list. i am using drupal 4.6.3.

What can i do? is there a way to upload a theme like what you can with mambo?

Difference between install.txt and the General instructions, they are a little different, which one should i follow? Also is there a easier way to install drupal, i have mysql admin installed, so I can try to set that up via the gui, any help would be appricated.

Thanks

In the directions in step 4 say :

$db_url = "mysql://username:password@localhost/database";

where 'username', 'password', 'localhost' and 'database' are the
username, password, host and database name for your set up.

Set $base_url to match the address to your Drupal site:

$base_url = "http://www.example.com";

hi everyone,

i'm having a problem installing a database under OS X Tiger.

The database is working on a site right now.

The install can work. if i use another database, the site will come up, just w/o the months of work I've spent putting my site together, obviously.
