Installing Drupal

OK, a quick summary of what's going on.

I installed Drupal, installed the database (and had my webhost set the permissions according to the installation directions because there is no access to that from phpMySQL), and everything looked ok. When I "create new user" from my site, I enter the username and e-mail address, and the site just goes back to the initial main page, and I do not receive an e-mail.

Hello:
I am using 4.4.1 with the latest Uniserver. When I am on the local webserver machine. I can get to my drupal home web page by typing either the name, IP address, or 'localhost'. However.. When I attempt to access the site from another machine, I receive only the test from the main drupal page. No images or format appears to be received.

Hi there - I'm looking at site hosters about setting up an account and using Tiki. I'm getting a bit confused by the PHP offering that some of them have. When they talk about PHP sometimes they mention CGI and sometimes not.

As I understand it, PHP runs much better as an Apache module than in CGI mode, but I'm not sure what are the "official" terms to ask the right question about this. Can anyone help?

Thanx, Joel

I have the problem of no xml.so in /usr/lib/php/extensions and I have looked using urpmf and there is no xml.so in any library installed with Mandrake 10.0. there is libxml.so.1, etc but nothing under php. Looking at PHP is also not too helpful and I am worried about breaking the apache/php that I have working.
I do not know what to do next. I had a working installation under 9.2 but I am now stuck.
Can anyone help?

What I did:

I wanted to remove my old 4.3 Drupal localhost installation (that I was experimenting with) and make a clean install of 4.4.1. I moved the 4.3 drupal directory to a different directory off of the root in order to save it and get it out of the way. I deleted the old MySQL database with the "mysqladmin -u root -p drop drupal" command and MySQL said the database and tables were deleted .

Started the new install and followed all instructions. Created new drupal MySQL database as per instructions. I edited the .htaccess, conf.php and php.ini as specified in the instructions and made sure the proper URLs were referenced and and made sure that .htaccess was set up for Apache2.

Error that I got after doing all of the above and trying to log on to Drupal on my local machine:
