Installing Drupal

Hi,

I Just uploaded the phptemplate into the /themes/engines/ folder (after unzipping via .gz file).

Then I uploaded the 'spreadfirefox' theme into the /themes/ folder (after unzipping as above).

However now I am unsure what to do? I can't see the new theme, or any admin stuff related to phptemplate.

Am I missing somthing? I have looked in the forums and via google for help, but can find none..

also, am I correct in thinking that the file: fantversion.php - shows the drupal version for this install?

Thanks in Advance..

Apache2.1-HEAD or later has a bug with the directive "AllowOverride" with paramter "All" that affects Drupal installation.

This is an extract from a draft version commented .htaccess file I am writing.

Hi,

I am trying to resolve a page-load problem on a fresh install with default (site) content. My problem is this:

Whenever I load a page it "jitters" for a very short period of time before displaying correctly.

The jitter is due to the plain text for the page (any page from the default install) being momentarily displayed before the CSS is applied.

It also happens with some themes and not others:

Warning: Wrong parameter count for mysql_connect() in /Volumes/Storage/Users/hrpatton/Sites/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31

Having just installed the latest Drupal, I get the above error message when attempting to load the index page.

In settings.php I have the following (password xxxed out):

$db_url = 'mysql://drupal:xxxxxxxxx@localhost/drupal';
$db_prefix = '';

Both the username and database name are 'drupal.'

What might I be doing wrong?

Sorry- I'm sure these kind of problems are old hat, a newbie here!

Drupal 4.5.5
Any attempt to use the configure tab in admin/themes or click configure on any individual theme locks browser (IE 6). No related entries in log.

Any help appreciated!
