Installing Drupal

Hi everyone, looking for a bit of help here... searched the forums for related topics and wasn't able to find anything that worked. I've tried using 4.5.4 and 4.6.2, neither worked for me at all. So I'm back down and using 4.5.4

I'll start with the error message I'm getting:

I get an error in /var/log/httpd/error_log evertyime i go to administer --> setting:
[Fri Jul 01 15:17:12 2005] [error] [client 216.216.77.55] File does not exist: /home/www/drupal-4.6.2/system, referer: http://www.kh-tech.com/drupal/?q=admin/settings

Am I missing something in my configuration? Is this normal? What does it mean to drupal?

I spent quite a lot of time looking through posts about my problem but couldn't find one that fit my specific issue. Hopefully someone here will point me in the right direction.

I thought I set up everything correctly when installing drupal (obviously I didn't!) but my drupal/index.php page is blank when I bring it up. I followed the included drupal instructions and double/triple checked everything but no luck.

Absolule newbie to databases and Drupal but managed to install 4.6.1 on my hosted site, edited the necessary files, set up using cPanel and read all the forum posts for various teething problems.

How ever, I can't login to my Drupal site and I get the following message;

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ''@'' (using password: YES) in /home//public_html/drupal-4.6.1/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31
Access denied for user ''@'' (using password: YES)

note: I have change the actual names for security reasons.

Any ideas anyone?

When i click on the themes link on my freshly installed drupal to try and load a new theme I am unable to even get to the page at all to even try.
The error message I get is

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare xtemplate_node() (previously declared in /home/chrroe/public_html/themes/xtemplate/xtemplate.theme:54) in /home/chrroe/public_html/themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate.engine on line 39

can anyone help me with this. I would like to install lincoln's revenge.

thanks in advance
Chris

I have received following error while installing drupal:

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\....\index.php:1) in 
c:\....\session.inc on line 10

It is because that I have saved the document in UTF encoding format and it puts some weird characters just at the beginning of the document. So PHP engine cannot parse properly.

When you delete those characters and save in ANSI encoding, it is working fine.
