Installing Drupal

Hi,

I am having trouble with my sidebar. When I access my site (http://www.kidpodcasters.com) it dosent even show up. I had a lot of trouble installing it but finally got it installed. I had to manully edit the MySQL install code to match my db prefix but i did it all correctly. Can someone please help!

Hi,

I installed drupal on a provider webserver called online.fr. The installation seems to be ok, but it's impossible to send mail. I checked the function mail() with a simple php script and it's ok. But when I try to send a mail (for the administrator registration) I don't receve the mail. I get a error message :

One of the PHP scripts on your Online.net hosted domain tried to send
a mail which format is unsupported by the mail() function. Invalid headers
details : Errors-to: me@localhost.com.

Hi, I have problem with install some modules (simplenews...). When I upload simplenews to modules directory, I can't view Administration > Modules page. I think that problem is hosting, but I have the same version php (5.0.4) on my local computer and this works fine.

I have two drupal sites with one codebase, one in the root and one in a subdirectory en. I am able to have clean urls with the site at root www.example.com, but not able to do so www.example.com/en. Looks like the setting in .htaccess below takes care of the root

RewriteBase /

Is there a way to do RewriteBase per directory basis, something like:

RewriteBase /

RewriteBase /en

Please advise, thanks a lot.

I am trying to install a new Drupal-4.6.3 site on a Redhat server with PHP 5 and MySQL 3.23.58.

When I had the $base_url incorrectly set to the root directory instead of the sub-directory where I have placed the Drupal files, I was able to connect to the "Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website" page, but clicking on "Create the first user account" produced a "index.php not found" error.

When I corrected the $base_url value, Iinstead of the 'Welcome" page I now get the following error

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'myname@myhost.com' (Using password: YES) in /home/mysite/drupal-4.6.3/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31
Access denied for user: 'myname@myhost.com' (Using password: YES)

line 31 being

$connection = mysql_connect($url['host'], $url['user'], $url['pass'], TRUE) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(substr($url['path'], 1)) or die('unable to select database');

return $connection;

I have loaded the Drupal tables to a previously existing database. The username, password and database name I have set in $db_url are those which give me access to the database in the account Administration page.

Some background -
I had earlier problems between setting up "settings.php" and connecting via browser because my host had chosen that exact moment to change my account password, informing me by emailing to my default email address (which uses the same password, and which obviously I could not read!!!)

After installing I get this when I point my browser to index.php:

Unsupported database type

The database on my server is MySQL 4.1.13

I know others have posted about this same problem, but I don't see any usefull solutions.
