Installing Drupal

Hello,

I searched through numerous posts here, but didn't find the right solution, therefore my question:

i'm having probs installing drupal on a server where I host my account. This server should be capable of running drupal. To be more specific I'm experiencing probs when registerring as user. I can fill in an e-mailaddress, and username, but the mail is not sent (or it does not arrive).

hi guys

after i installed drupal, when i access the index.php at root, i always get the admin mainpage, the one which welcomes u and asks u to create the first user.

even after i created the first user, whenever i access drupal i will get this page. no login box or left navi bar or posts.

pls advise what is wrong with my installation.

The emails that presumably get sent upon user registration and when requesting a new password are not working. I've checked the php settings, I've written a simple email script and called it directly (works fine), but my Drupal installation cannot send mail. I installed the smtp.module which I read about here http://drupal.org/node/view/7232#10957, and nothing changed. I don't know how to go about testing and debugging from here. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I installed drupal on my laptop, follwing the instructions precisly. The forumn up, but when i goto create a new user account, I get kicked back to the main page. All the links on the page behave in the same fashion.

eg: "create the first account" <-- this link points to http://localhost/drupal/?q=user/register.

I dont understand why the "index.php" is missing before the ?q=user/register

I read many of the posts, but I was still unable to resolve thi issue. Does anyone know how I can correct this or point in the right direction?

Thanks

setting: private download method with a "files"-directory not visible from the web
I used the flexinode.module to upload files. Files werde uploaded successfully (They are in that folder after uploading) but trying to download them ends in a blank screen. The link http:///system/files?file= does not work.
The same problem with pictures in /files/pictures.

All hints in discussions concerning that problem i found do not resolve that problem.

Any suggestions??
