Installing Drupal

i just got my drupal set up and im playing around with it trying to learn a thing or two . and i click on the edit primary links link and it says at the top of the page warning: mkdir(files): Permission denied in /home/btshawn/public_html/drupal/drupal-4.6.3/includes/file.inc on line 86.

Hello all,
I'm not entirely sure this is the correct section to be posting this but after surfing through the forums for quite some time, it seems the most likely place. I have a Drupal installation which for the most part seems to be running along quite nicely on my server, however there are some issues. My server setup is as follows:

-IIS 6.0 Windows Server 2003
-PHP 5.0.5
-MySQL 4.1.3
-Drupal 4.6.3

I have enabled the MySQL and GD2 Extensions within my PHP setup, and PHP is running under the ISAPI Server API, rather than the CGI Server API. Drupal loads quite quickly and efficiently and appears to run very smoothly, but whenever I try to access the configuration pages for themes, users, etc... i.e.

http://myurl/index.php?q=admin/user/configure

http://myurl/index.php?q=admin/themes/settings

http://myurl/index.php?q=admin/node/configure/types/blog

http://myurl/index.php?q=admin/node/configure/types/forum

http://myurl/index.php?q=admin/node/configure/types/page

and so on... the pages just come up blank, nothing, zip, zilch, nada displayed. As for as I can tell I've followed it by the book and I just can't figure why this is happening.

I've granted the Internet Guest Account, read, write, read and execute permissions on the site's folders and subfolders but it made no difference, and the php application extension has been granted permissions to use all verbs (GET, POST, etc...), is there anything you can suggest that may rectify this issue?

This is a systematic guide for configuring a multi-site environment on windows.

Assume Drupal installed and running properly. This is basically for those who are running Drupal under windows XP with Apache , PHP, MYSQL.

Hi, I installed drupal 4.6.3 on local PC (apache) on which I try to plug ecommerce module. When I install the ecommerce directory and its sub-directories in the module directory, it's impossible to access the module item in administer menu. If I delete the ecommerce directory, all goes right.
Have you some ideas on the problem ?
Thanks

Hello @ all!

One week agout I installed drupal 4.6.3 and I´m very satisfied with this great cms.

I have only a little problem with CleanURLs: it works as long as I don´t go deeper in the menu structure. On top it works fine. When going down in the menustructure the stylesheets could not be found and the content is displayed RAW. Sometimes you can see something like this in the adminster log:
