Installing Drupal

I have been reading INSTALL.txt and it gives very specific instructions for creating and configuring a db for drupal. My host only allows me to have one db and I have no control over the db name. Can I just skip the create db create step and the "GRANT ALL..." step and start with LOAD DB scheme?

Thanks,
Erik

When I installed drupal 4.4.2 on to a linux box it keeps throughing up this error:
Fatal error: DB Error: already exists query: INSERT INTO sessions (uid, sid, hostname, timestamp) values(0, '407edfd7e4249d7717a7bc81160c5ca0', '192.168.0.1', 1091354020) in /var/www/html/mike/includes/database.pear.inc on line 89

I'm using postgresql on the box.
Does this happen to anybody else?
If so how did you fix it?

Thanks

Hello,

I've installde Drupal 4.4.2 and I can't save my General configuration options: I get a 400 "bad request" error whit this message:

Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What can I do? Thanks in advance.

I've done everything up to
5. CONFIGURE DRUPAL

You can now launch your browser and point it to your Drupal site.

Create an account and login. The first account will automatically
become the main administrator account.

How do I launch my browser and point it to your Drupal site? They lost me on that one??

I am looking at someone else's installation of RedHat 9.x with Apache 2.0 trying to solve what I thought was probably a simple .htaccess configuration issue :) None of the rewritten urls are showing up. All are giving the "The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server" error. The main index.php page is available and non-rewritten legacy URL's do work. And the php configurations in .htaccess are being set correctly.

Hei,

I accidentally forgot username & password of Administrator account
for drupal.
Is there a way to create a new account with SSH?

regards,
Andrei
