Installing Drupal

I know that this bug has been idenfied and fixed recently (http://drupal.org/node/26033), but does anyone know of a work-around until a new Drupal version is released?

I tried using PHP 5.04 with no more success.

Thanks!

Hi.
I get stuck!
I have problems understanding the installation manual at http://drupal.org/node/260

1)

This will create a new directory drupal-x.x.x/ containing all
Drupal files and directories. Move the contents of that directory
into a directory within your web server's document root or your
public HTML directory:

mv drupal-x.x.x/* drupal-x.x.x/.htaccess /var/www/html

- What does it mean?
- Where is the web server's document root?

I just use third-party web hosting plan.
I'm using Windows XP.
I have a folder drupal-x.x.x
- Should I put it into the "public_HTML" or "www" folder?
- Should I put the whole (drupal-x.x.x) folder into the target folder?
Or should I copy the contents from the folder (BUT NOT the folder itself) into the target folder?

What does the line of code mean?
Where & how should I type this code?

2)

If you use a web-based control panel, you should be able
to upload the file 'database.mysql' from Drupal's 'database'
directory and run it directly as SQL commands.

From the command line, use (again, replacing 'nobody' and
'drupal' with your MySQL username and name of your database):

mysql -u nobody -p drupal < database/database.mysql

My web hoster has set the MySQL already.
- Do I need to do this step?

If so:
- upload 'database.mysql' to where?

I have Drupal 4.6+PHP5+MySQL5+Apache1.3.31 and now trying to install Civicrm1.1. Other drupal modules work fine! I am sharing the civicrm database with drupal's.

No problem displaying the civicrm menu but when I click at the link the page hangs. Can anyone point out what I can do to get Civicrm working?

I tried the following two actions.

I have a fresh 4.6.3 installation in LAMP with the i18 module set to spanish and is working just fine. When I try to install the ecomerce module following the installation guide: after modifing the database and copying the ecommerce module to module/; when I go to the adminitration/modules to activate the e-comerce modules the browser goes blank and nothing happends. If I delete the ecommerce directory things return to normal. Do I miss something???

how do i get it so logging into drupal logs into the embedded gallery2 install?

and,

is that what this error means:

I have been using Drupal on my personal site (running on Free BSD) for a long time without any issues. I am now working on a project for my school, and I recently installed Drupal 4.6.3 on an Apple XServe running Tiger. After some struggles getting mod_rewrite and .htaccess to work properly, everything seemed to be working fine. Then yesterday the site went down for no apparent reason. Here's the error I'm getting when I try to load the site in a browser:

Warning: main(includes/bootstrap.inc): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /PATH/TO/SITE/index.php on line 12

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'includes/bootstrap.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /PATH/TO/SITE/index.php on line 12

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_page_header() in /PATH/TO/SITE/index.php on line 13

I searched the forums and the bug reports and found that several other people have dealt with this problem, but after spending two hours with my IT administrator, we still haven't solved the problem. I was working on the site the night before it went down, and I installed a few modules (feedback, contact, site map), but I have since deleted those files via FTP, just in case they were causing the problem. Still no luck.

I am looking for suggestions about ANY possible causes of this error message. What are we missing? What files should I be checking? What server settings might be causing the error?
