Installing Drupal

I can't view files in ../drupal/files/images. I get an error page that says the file doesn't exist AND I don't have permissions to view it. The file surely exists and the permissions are fine. user = ihmcyo:ihmcyo, perms = -rw-r--r. If i copy said file to ../drupal, things work fine. I checked ../drupal/.htaccess and nothing there seams to be preventing access to the ../files folder.

P.S. Moving the image to ../drupal/files produces the same negative effect; I seam to be locked out of the files folder in general.

On my drupal site i have created menu items that have other menu items under them. If I set them to be expanded they work, but if not, they won't expand when clicked on. How do I resolve this issue?

Examples on my site "About Us" and "Reports" are acting this way.

"Create Content" and "Administer" work as expected.

Hi.
After I installed or updated Drupal, how can I make sure if it is done properly (and flawlessly)?

Simply accessing to the main site means little. It doesn't guarantee if there're other problems/errors occurred in somewhere else.

Is there any tests/checks we can do to make sure everything is installed/updated fine?
Thanks.

Hi.
Do you know how to create a MySQL database?
I have cPanel & PhpMyAdmin.
Thanks.

When logging in or out I often (not always) get this error being logged by the watchdog module:

index 137 Query INSERT INTO watchdog (uid, type, message, severity, link, location, hostname, timestamp) VALUES (0, 'php', 'Can\'t cre
ate/write to file \'/tmp/#sql_6768_0.MYD\' (Errcode: 9)
query: SELECT DISTINCT(p.perm) FROM role r INNER JOIN permission p ON p.rid = r.rid INNER JOIN users_roles ur ON ur.rid = r.rid WHERE ur.uid = 0 in /vol3/
www/htdocs/main/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.', 2, '', '/main/?q=forum/3&sort=asc&order=Created', '66.249.65.140', 1127535663)
137 Query UPDATE sessions SET uid = 0, hostname = '66.249.65.140', session = 'messages|a:0:{}', timestamp = 1127535663 WHERE sid
= '81910d13efc55a2406ba63be494cd10d'
137 Quit

I cannot find any corresponding MySQL error in my logs. The above is simply watchdog logging an error it is finding somewhere and recording it into the database.

Although the file exists and the permissions look fine:

# ls -alh /tmp
total 8
-rw-rw---- 1 _mysql wheel 0B Sep 24 00:23 #sql_6768_0.MYD

This problem is driving me crazy. I think it is causing another problem. Sometimes my frontpage (module) shows "Access denied" even though my Access Control is open for all visitors. Drupal seems to be losing track of who is logged in and so it has trouble assigning access control.

Hi,

I have created new site using Drupal.

I have enabled the Forum, and added categories.

I can't seem to work out why new articles and discussions are not showing up.

Can anyone answer the question.

Please see www.pngair.com

Drupal is great.

Thanks
