Installing Drupal

Hello,

I have a question concerning file permissions and howto setup the webtree where I have put Drupal in.
This is my first time installing Drupal and I could not find it in the documentation.

What is the best way to setup the webtree?

I have installed drupal at my local webserver, in a subdirectory. Changed the database access and folder options correctly in the conf.php file. Browsing to localhost/drupal/ takes me to the home directory listening, so I manually browse to localhost/drupal/index.php. Intro page works fine, until I click the "Create new account" link. http://localhost/drupal/?q=user/register takes me to the home directory listening again with the text Index of /drupal.

i keep getting this messsage. it goes from line 42 up to line 70 like this :

strict warning: var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers in /home/marley/public_html/footballeague/themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate.inc on line 42.

this repeats until

strict warning: var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers in /home/marley/public_html/footballeague/themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate.inc on line 70

Hi,

i installed drupal on FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE with PostgreSQL 8.0.
After the configuration (setting up DB, editing "conf.php") i want to connect to drupal:
http://10.4.1.98/drupal
But i receive the following error message:

Warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR: null value in column "uid" violates not-null constraint in /usr/local/www/data/drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 104

Installed two instances of Drupal with one being in a sub domain (http://alaska.mysite.com) and one as a sub folder on a standard web site (www.mysite.com/drupal). One works and the other one (sub domain) does not. Changed out the config.php file to reflect the differences. Both use version 4.52 and different data bases on the same server.

The sub domain does display the login page. However, when accessing any other page or pages an Internal Server 500 Error occurs.

First of all, thank you for Drupal! I'm having fun with it. I am an utter newbie. The only thing I've done with web stuff before is make sites with WYSIWYG editors. It took some searching on this site for me to figure out how to install drupal. So I'd like to give back a little by presenting this guide. This guide is meant for those with as little experience as I had coming into drupal. Please feel free to help me improve this.

There are three things to do: upload the database, get drupal ready and change "/tmp" on your drupal site.

Upload the databse.

1. Login to your phpMyAdmin (on your server).

2. Click "Create new database."
- name it "drupal" (or whatever).

3. You should see "drupal" at the top of the left column. Click "drupal."

4. Now in the center column you should see some tabs to choose from. Click "SQL."

5. At the bottom of the box that comes up it says, "Location of the textfile:" and there's a button that says, "Browse". Click "Browse" and navigate to the file "database.mysql." Its on your computer inside the folder you extracted, "drupal.4.5.2," inside the "database" folder. Select "database.mysql" and click "open."

Get Drupal ready.

1. Download Drupal.

2. Extract Drupal to your desktop (or wherever). You need to have a program like 7-zip installed first. You have to extract the files twice.

3. Edit conf.php. Its in drupal-4.5.2/includes. I opened it with Wordpad. You have to edit two lines in this file.
