Installing Drupal

I've had a look around the frum, but I'm not sure there is a definitive answer.

I've install Drupal in a sub-directory & got the "403 you do not have access to index.php" error. Renaming .htaccess made the error go away. Remaming it back & trying "allow from all" didn;t work.

Running the site without the .htaccess seems fine, but I can't use clean URLs?

This maybe offtopic as it seems to concern my apache2 configuration but ...

... I have drupal loaded so that its at http://myserver/drupal

myserver is behind a firewall, with forwarding on port 80 to the server on the internal network

I have authentication set on this directory so that I have to enter a password when connecting from outside, not when I am inside.

When accessing drupal from inside my network it all works correctly.

Drupal isn't able to send email upon user registration. I setup SMTP in php.ini for localhost and email as me@localhost.com. I also tried using my hosting provider's SMTP and email address. None worked. Anybody, help me please!!!

Thank you

For some reason, my RSS feeds on http://www.anarchism.org.nz will not update themselves when i click 'update', nor will they update on their own...

I deleted the only *-cron-last row in variables, (drupal_cron_last - i didn't have the two comments_cron_last & node_cron_last that the FAQ suggested) and emptied the search_index table, but I still don't get any nodes coming up in any search.

Hi all,

I just downloaded the Glossary 440 and WebLink 440 modules. The install file in both say they require the "Drupal CVS" version.

Should I follow these instructions and install the current Drupal CVS or are they dated?

TIA,
Kevin
