Installing Drupal

I'm trying to install drupal 4.5.0 with postgres 7.2.1, and the setup script dies with this error:

psql:database.pgsql:782: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "SEQUENCE"

line 782 has this line:

ALTER SEQUENCE menu_mid_seq RESTART 2;

What's up with that?

Hello,

I'm new to this, but familar with the installation process. I've attempted to install Drupal three times now on my G4 Mac so that I can build and test sites locally using this CMS.

I keep getting this error:

strict warning: var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers in /Library/WebServer/Documents/themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate.inc on line 42.

(It repeats the same error from line 42 - line 70.)

I just installed Drupal with PostgreSQL successfully, but the OG module seems to cause a problems. When I try to create a new group, I get the following errors with no HTML returned, but the group is created anyway:

warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR:  syntax error at or near "REPLACE" at character 1 in /path/to/drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 104.

user error: 
query: REPLACE INTO node_access (nid, gid, realm, grant_view, grant_update, grant_delete) VALUES (2, 1, 'og_uid', 1, 1, 1) in /path/to/drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 121.

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /path/to/drupal/includes/common.inc:406) in /path/to/drupal/includes/common.inc on line 217.

Visiting the group's page issues the following errors above the regular page:

warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR:  for SELECT DISTINCT, ORDER BY expressions must appear in select list in /path/to/drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 104.

user error: 
query: SELECT DISTINCT(n.nid) FROM node n INNER JOIN node_access na ON n.nid = na.nid WHERE '1' AND (na.gid = 2) AND na.realm = 'og_group' AND n.status=1 AND n.type != 'og' ORDER BY n.created DESC LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0 in /path/to/drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 121.

Attempting to join a group yields the following with no returned page, and no apparent effect on subscription:

I'm not a programmer or sysadmin, just a website publisher, and I have to go through someone else to relay information to the people running the server. I'm getting this message with Drupal 4.5.0 on a BSD server with MySQL installed:

Warning: db_set_active(includes/database.mysql.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/bbm/lowendmac.com/htdocs/includes/database.inc on line 109

I've tried to enable Clean URLs on my site and have done the following:

- confirmed mod_rewrite is installed
- uploaded the .htaccess file
- tried modifying the .htaccess file with the path to the install directory (although the site is not in a subdirectory; this did not work)

However, the site hangs whenever I click a link.

Any ideas?

I am a new drupal user and are developing my own site just to post topics I found interesting and start discussions. I am using Windows XP. To learn using Drupal, I installed:

Apache 2.0.49 --> Shows Apache's help when acesses via browser (Firefox)
PHP 5.0.2 --> Can show phpinfo() content when accessed via browser
MySQL 4.1.7-nt --> Seems to work well. Can accept and execute commands
Drupal 4.5.0 --> Installation until step 4. Connecting Drupal
