Installing Drupal

Dear Forum,

I've been trying to solve this problem for too long now, so I'm hopeing that someone here can point me in the right direction ...

I set up my drupal site on my Mac OS X box and it runs fine. My configuration is (from phpinfo()):

• PHP/4.3.4
• Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin)
• MySQL/3.23.49

On the server I'm trying to set my site up on, the configuration is:

Hi, I'm new (very VERY new) to this, and just installed Drupal today. are the extra modules i downloaded to my hard drive installed in the same manner as the regular site? do I need to create individuals files for each module in my public file? (I'm using opensourcehost) Do i need to create a mysql database, etc., for each additional module? Do you know of any easy-to-understand instructions online? I keep only coming up with partial instructions. Thanks!

Hello people!

I am having some strange expiriences with Weblink module and Postgre base supporting it.

I made taxonomy, and added links, but only users who are logged in can see them, but not anonimous ones. I've checked permissions, and thats okey. Here's what the logs say:

I would like to use mailhandler and listhandler to send/receive messages to my forum/mailing list.

I have installed and configured mailhandler so that it receives emails and creates a new forum entry. The listhandler module does not seem to be functioning correctly though. My setup is as follows.

Mailman list address: list@example.com
Mailhandler mailbox address: mailhandler@example.com

Mailhandler field "E-mail address:" mailhandler@example.com
Mailhandler field "Second E-mail address:" list@example.com
Mailhandler field "POP3 or IMAP Mailbox:" POP3
Mailhanlder field "Mailbox domain:" example.com

I've created a drupal "dummy" account with an email address of list@example.com and have given it a role that has "post comments", "post comments without approval", and "create forum topics" permissions.

Listhandler field "Admin address:" list@example.com

The above field is not mentioned in the installation instructions (which only explains how to configure mailhandler for some reason) that I can see so I have assumed it should contain the address of the dummy account. I have also tried using the email address of the list administrator (which is my own) but with no effect.

Please tell me where I've gone wrong, or clarify the installation instructions.

I have installed everything necessary for Drupal, PHP, MySQL, etc. Everything went extremely smooth (done PHP/MySQL before). The database exists (drupal) and the username/password exists for the web service to access the database. I have set up my local web service to serve up the site for http://localhost/drupal.

When navigating (Firefox) to that website, it prompts me for a username/password. I have tried everything I can think of, but never get passed it. If I am to create a new user, where do I do this?

Have installed drupal 4.5.1, on win XP machine running IIS 5.1, using PHP v4.3.5, now installation went (more or less) smoothly, have created my first user account, but now when i login using that account, nothing happens, except for the page refreshing, I have checked the watchdog table, and it records the session open for user admin, however everytime i try to access the administration section I get an access denied message. I have cookies enabled on my browser. I have read the posts on this topic, but nothing i do has helped solve this problem.
