Installing Drupal

I've set up a subdomain and installed drupal on it. My host is Dreamhost (recommended by many of you all here).

In doing this, I followed the great instructions on test site workflow in the handbook (http://drupal.org/node/27734).

In fact, I used those instructions to migrate the stuff from my personal domain to my client's domain, and the live site worked fine. I figured another 5 minutes for the subdomain setup. HA!

I installed the Trip Search module really just to see what it does and when I go the 'Advanced Search' I get the following errors.

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/site/public_html/drupal/includes/tablesort.inc on line 160.
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/site/public_html/drupal/includes/tablesort.inc on line 198.
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/site/public_html/drupal/includes/theme.inc on line 639.

When I perform an actual search it produces what seems to be a nice result set

I have installed Drupal, seemingly ok, no error messages.
Using Windows XP, Apache 2, PHP 4.4, MySql 4.

When I browse to my installation [http://dupral:8080] I can see the page.
I create the first account.
When ever I go to the administer page I can only see a list of user message logs. I cannot get to any usefull admin menus.

I have been going round and round for ages. I am very frustrated,

Can anyone offer a suggesitons?

Thanks

Darren

When the number of modules that I install is exceed about 56, then, I can't access administration->modules,
it says:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11520 bytes) in /www/users/back.kosmos.cn/modules/upload.module on line 43

HELP ME, PLEASE!

I'll spare more details until I finish my own troubleshooting, but in the meantime I could use a few tips to keep my pointed in the right direction.

I have a box with FreeBSD 5.4. For these, I installed the latest versions from the ports collection. Here are the symptoms:

Apache 1.3: I can start/stop the server fine. When only Apache is running and I try http://localhost I see the parent directory /usr/local/www/data but no actual page pops up. Not sure if that indicates a problem.

PHP5: This may be part of the problem. I installed php5 but I don't believe it was mod_php5 (same as php5 installed as an Apache module?) but rather php5. I won't list details about configuration files on php5 yet, since I uninstalled it and am now trying to find how to install mod_php5.

Mysql 4: Everything here is working fine. I created the drupal database, the nobody user (I called "somebody"), and the import from data/drupal seems to have worked. I wonder if my apache was installed with mysql support.

Drupal 4.6.3: I didn't move the directory in the first step because it seemed to already be in the right place. I should add that I installed Drupal before Apache, PHP, and mysql4, in case that caused a problem. I didn't complete all the system requirements, so that's why I'm trying to install mod_php5 now.

Before I uninstalled php5, when I tried to point the browser to http://localhost/drupal it would redirect me to //hostdomain/drupal

When I create a new account, and the new 'register' page comes up, I get the error:

User error: access denied for user: 'drupal@x.x.x.%' to database 'drupal'
query: LOCK TABLES sequences WRITE in /home/xxxx/html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

at the top of the page.

The same error occurs when I try to sign in with an already created account.
