Installing Drupal

I'm having a spot of bother with the themes in drupal 4.5.0. The problem is that both the custom theme I have developed and the pushbutton theme do not render properly, but bluemarine and marvin render perfectly. When I take a look at the HTML source for a page rendered with the pushbutton theme I can see the pushbutton style.css, but the xtemplate.xtmpl never gets loaded. any idea why?

I have just installed drupal and there is no styling. I cheked and the css files are there but there is no colour or images. Any ideas?

I just installed filestore2 and fscache. The filestore2 page shows up but I only get the preview button. After pressing it, I get the same page back, except the "file to upload" field is empty.

Now I most likely made a mistake by installing the newest version of filestore2 and fscache on a 4.4.1 installation. But how can I find out what's going on. If something fails, where can I see the error messages?

Also, is 2MB upload the upper limit? We have a lot of files which are larger.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I thought I'd cross post, in hopes that more people would see my post.

"I just finished up installing Drupal at http://209.249.37.234/, and was configuring it to my tastes when I ran into this weird problem. I was at admin > settings > drupal (?q=admin/settings), and it would not let me save my changes. I get this error every time....

I am trying to install drupal on a lunarpages site which is configured using cpanel. I have configured the database correctly, I think. But I can't get to the index.php page to load. I get a 500 error. I have searched these boards and none of the suggested solutions regarding the .htaccess file has worked for me.

Install info:

On the "register" page, I can't even get my first account email sent off; it just blanks the fields and reloads the page. No error messages or anything. I set up an account at Drupal.org and was able to log in just fine. Maybe my problem with my Apache setup? How exactly do I go about changing those settings? (I use a hosting company, so the server isn't in my possession.)
