Installing Drupal

if you have devmachine (like mine at home) and use mysql account with blank password you have to edit database.mysql.inc line 31 to look like the following

$connection = mysql_pconnect($url['host'], $url['user'], isset($url['pass'])?$url['pass']:"", TRUE) or die(mysql_error());

(oh yeah - i use persistant connections to)

just a little hint

I downloaded the Recipe module 4.6.0 and unpacked the tar.gz file to my modules directory. I then copied the recipe.module outside of the recipe folder and into the modules folder.

I've run the recipe.mysql script and didn't get any errors. I then opened drupal and enabled the recipe module.

The instructions are vague and I'm not sure what to do next. I don't seem to have a settings menu like it do for Book Review and Movie Review.

Any help would be appreciated,

I downloaded the privatemsg module and put it in my modules folder. As an admin I was able to enable it in the modules list. I also see the "View Inbox" link in the navigation list. However, if I try to do anything with private messaging, I get an error:

user error: Table 'drupal.privatemsg' doesn't exist
query: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM privatemsg WHERE recipient = '1' AND newmsg = 1 AND recipient_del = 0 in /Users/myname/Sites/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

I tried to follow the instructions to create forums, it says that "administer->forum", but on my site, there's no forum under administer. Here's the whole list under administer:

# administer

* blocks
* categories
* comments
* content
* input formats
* logs
* menus
* modules
* settings
* themes
* users
* help

any suggestions?

many thanks

Caonverted three to one installation of drupal, setup according to INSTALL.txt. Working well.

Do I now have some redundant MySQL tables?

I would love to see the structure of drupal. Have I missed it in the handbook? The databases especially (although the webface, too).

I'm sure the problem is with me, but I can't get the project module to work properly.
I've dug around for documentation on how to get this to work properly but have found very little.
