I just moved servers this morning. Things worked fine on the old server. Does anyone know what's going on?

No trailing slash = default to IP address

Hello,

I have looked all around and it appears that nobody has had this problem before. I am sure it is something simple but having racked my brain for 3 weeks getting my site up I am lost on this one.

Here's the problem. I have drupal installed in a subdir for this site. The URL to the site is:

http://www.skatemental.com/blogmental

If one goes to the above url, the domain is removed from the header and replaced with my IP address. I can't find anything that could be causing this problem. If the trailing slash is added before Drupal gets a chance to add it on its own, the domain is not removed and everything is kosher. My host says:

"It appears that there is a redirect script somewhere in the installation
that is causing this".

Of course, vague. I have gone over my settings.php and .htaccess settings many times and can't find a solution. Here they are.

settings.php
$base_url = 'http://www.skatemental.com/blogmental'; ($db_url is set and working)

.htaccess
RewriteBase /blogmental

The RewriteBase var has been uncommented, and still no dice. Errors are set to report using the same directory. I am sure that I am going to feel like a dunce when I find out what the problem is, but I just can't seem to figure it out and my host is not helping matters. Here's my environment:

Red Hat Linux (appears to be 2.4.20?)

.htaccess???

First time Drupal user and a PHP and mysql NOOB.

I have downloaded Drupal to the server (a rented space in a cheap webhotel by the way), Mysql database was premade, installed the database.mysql and edited the settings.php file.

At first trying to launch the site using the index.php I got the following error

"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, support@b-one.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

Drupal appears to require something called PHP version 4.3.3+, the PHP version my webhost provides is 4.3.11, is this the reason for the error. Going over to www.PHP.net I cant find reference to any 4.3.3, there is a 4.4.0 (and 5) and the old 4.3.11 no 4.3.3.

Removing the .htaccess file makes me able to login for the first time and set up the administrator account. Still worried about that .htaccess file, probably an important file, dont know what it does really.

Can anyone shed some light over here?
Should I abort my efforts using Drupal on this webhost?
Is there something in this .htaccess file that can be altered to make it function?

Tried Mambo before and that one kind of worked.

IISPassword

I get an odd IISPassword error page - no matter what I do. I've changed the settings in the settings.php file to ones I know work.

Still to no avail :(

Help :D

spreadfirefox - "bg_header_top_left.gif" how can i enable it

I have use drupal-4.6.2, with themes spreadfirefox for 4.6 version run on Apache 1.3 with PHP 5 , Mysql 4.3. I have already enable 3 corner image in header, however i have a problem with the image "bg_header_top_left.gif". I can't find any event to enable it. Here is the code relative it in style.css of spreadfirefox theme:

Theme does not work with IE but works fine with Mozilla and Firefox

I have several subdomains and a main domain. The problem is hard to describe because its so large. I can't really narrow down the causes and searched the forum and can't find anything that jumped out at me.

Simple this: My slightlty hacked version of Bluemarine phptemplte is working fine with Moz and Firfox but doesnt even show up for IE. What in the world can that be? I've got a javascript dhtml menu but it was doing this before so its not that should anyone be kind enough to take a look.
