TinyMCE issue: "edit node body" textarea not WYSIWYG

I installed TinyMCE yesterday on a 4.6.0 site. Everything is working fine, except that when I edit a node (/node/*/edit), the Body textarea is shown in raw format, i.e. the source is shown with all the tags and no icons are shown below the writing space, as though TinyMCE were disabled. I find I have to click on "disable rich-text" to... enable rich-text again!

Tried changing the role to display TinyMCE in all textareas, or include /node/*/edit in the specific textarea list, to no avail. As far as I know, this specific textbox is the only one giving me issues.

Cannot create blog, story nodes as non-admin user

Just completed an install of 4.6.1 and have encountered the following problem. If I attempt to create content (blog and story were tried, no others, though) as an authenticated user but not as the administrator and click on "Submit", instead of seeing the node, I see the messages:

Page not found
Your story was created

The upper message is correct; the lower one isn't. Doing "select * from node;" returns nada. The PostgreSQL log shows an error message

blank admin/modules

Hi,

I just installed 4.6 on a drupal-free server.
Everything went fine except for my mysql doing something weird with permissions and which I upgraded to 2 minor versions further.

My system is running gentoo so I used webapp-config to install it in a virtual host.

Mysql was doing weird with my accounts so for setup I gave my mysql root and pass as the drupal db settings.

Everything went fine.
I got to the create an account screen, made myself an admin account.

Fixed the .htaccess and my apache config to accept it.

Configured the basic settings:
Clean urls, cache enabled, the works.

Started checking out the themes, switched to the one with the green logo, clicked on administer modules:
empty page.

Moved back to other themes, cleared the cache on mysql, turned off clean urls, turned of cache, reinstalled, nothing changes, it stays blank.

I know a bit of php so if someone wants to point me in the right direction I might debug it.

This is my second Drupal install.
First one (4.5) is running but not live because of too many module problems.

I saw there's a bug opened but it could not be reproduced.

After typing all of this I decided to try it another time.

I fixed my mysql user problems and created a drupal user.
Gave all the right permissions (Everything but reload, drop and reference privs).

Went to create an account, did it, went to administer modules.

Module warnings required in documentation

There is currently no warning on the modules pages about modules which require advanced knowledge to install.

All modules should have two important descriptors: Dependencies, and Installation Difficulty.

Part of the problem is that *nix hackers do not understand the real-world limitations that most people face.

a) Most hosting providers do not allow shell access (and rightly so).
b) the vast majority of computers (don't get religious on me here.... this is just the way the world actually is) run Windows

So people who use a hosting service, need to unpack the files and work on them on their computer (often Windows) then ftp the files to their host. Many Windows people have no knowledge of UNIX commands (or even MS command line commands).

Any module which installs using the installation procedure in the handbook should have an installation difficulty rating of "standard".

All other installation procedures should be clearly flagged in the modules section before downloading.

Modules which require database additions are somewhat advanced for the "I know html therefore I can build a website" crowd. They should be rated "moderate -- requires database update (provided)".

Modules require patches to other modules should be clearly labeled as "advanced - requires patches to other modules. Windows users or users without shell access will have difficulty installing this module".

Drupal paths conflict with CGIWrap ($base_url)

I am currently running PHP on Apache using CGIWrap to limit script execution across accounts and across the server. The problem I am having is my scripts need to reside in cgi-bin chmod 711 (755/777) to be executed when using CGIWrap.

Problem in db backup restore

I did a backup from my drupal mysql database using phpmyadmin and gives me the file database.sql
but
when i try to load the backup in another db
gives me error maybe in utf8 charater

Any suggestion !
