Installing Drupal

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed the latest Drupal on a W2K/Apache 1.3/MySQL test enviroment. It went well except I think the default handler set in Drupal's .htaccess file is not being recognised (I'm not sure if Apache is accessing the .htaccess file in my drupal sub-directory, though it is set up to). When I attempt to 'add new account' (at this stage, for the first time) I just land on a listing of the drupal top-level dir generated by Apache.

setup:

Windows XP,
latest Apache server (verified to be working)
latest PHP 5 (verified to be working)
latest mysql

installed drupal following the installation instructions ( the install.txt)

all went well seeminly during installation, (database created, user permission properly set, table lodated)
$db_url and $base_url in conf.php are both set.

Problem is, after the installation, go to http://localhost, only got a blank page.

Please help!

Many thanks.

This I get when creating the first (admin) account in a new installation. Anyone knows how I solve this?

hi,

just installed drupal and it's great, although my forum is giving some whacky db errors:
http://128.32.146.140/dmap/?q=forum

any ideas?

here's my system:
- drupal v4.5.1
- mac os x server v10.3.5
- postgresql v7.4.2
- php v4.3.6

thanks,
aaron

I've just downloaded the search_4.5.1_0.patch patch and the search.cleanup.patch patch for the search module, and to tell the truth I cant figure out how to update the serach.module with this patch. Im currently using version 4.5.1. Ive looked around for a solution in the forums but alas (prob me just being stupid enough not to notice something) couldnt find a clean solution in instaling this patch, or any other patch for that matter.

Dear forum,

Begging for your help with the installation of the image module!

Let me begin by telling you what I have done in terms of installation so far:

1) Created mysql tables in PHP MyAdmin
2) Uploaded the image_module to modules folder.
3) Enabled image module in Administer>modules
4) Created an 'images' folder in the root of my drupal installation and gave it a chmod 777 permission
Created an 'thumbs' folder within the 'images' folder and also gave it a chmod 777 permission
Created an 'tmp' folder within the 'images' folder and also gave it a chmod 777 permission
5) set the paths in Administer>settings>image
see screenshot of paths here:

http://img61.exs.cx/img61/9782/screenshot29nj.jpg
6) Assigned a vocabulary to images in Administer>Categories then chose that vocab in Administer>Settings>Image
7) got this confirmation in Administer>Images
http://img55.exs.cx/img55/8801/screenshot35po.jpg

Ok so I thought everything was going quite well up to there. So i tried uploading an image for the first time, it was a small pic 400x300 38kb and when I uploaded it and clicked 'submit' I got these messages:

warning: rename(images/tmp/tmpthumb_916d0d2576ef393bdc027278bca7e5e9.jpg,images/thumbs/thumb_916d0d2576ef393bdc027278bca7e5e9-11.jpg): No such file or directory in /home/eglinton/domains/andreweglinton.com/public_html/modules/image/image.module on line 827.
