Installing Drupal

Migration went well -- (4.3.x) however -- e-mail is not sent when creating new accounts.

Thus I cannot get users to self register (http://www.valuesplanet.com). I am not sure where to look into this. After this, I am going to try the upgrade! ;-)

I have succesfully installed drupal 4.4 before, but there's this other server where I just can't get it to work... The problem is that none of the Drupal forms POST their data, so I can not enter any data.

See http://www.hoeben.net

Running a clean 4.4.1 install on Linux/Apache/PHP4.3.6/MySQL

PHPInfo available here: http://www.hoeben.net/phpinfo.php

Try creating a user. If you succeed, you'll be the admin ;-). I tried multiple browsers, including Firefox.

I had a closer look myself, and it seems the forms in drupal won't POST. I added the following lines to the top of my conf.php to verify this:

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]!="GET") {
 echo "bingo!";
 exit;
}
?>

Logically, this should bail out whenever a form is POSTed. But it never does...
It's not just the user registration form that exhibits this behavior. I tried transplanting the database of a populated drupal site to this server. The drupal site worked, but I could not log in or post new content.

Using (simple) forms on this server works fine: http://www.hoeben.net/test.php

This script prints out the $_SERVER and $_POST variables. If you use the POST button, you'll see that the $_POST variable is succesfully populated, and $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] is set to POST.

I feel dumb asking this, but a few months ago when I first tried out Drupal I thought there was a flood spam control feature on Nodes, and now I can't seem to find it anymore. I remember you could limit the number of times a user could post over a set amount of time, like limiting 1 story post ever 24 hours per user. Does this exist, or am I thinking of another CMS?

Im using 4.4.1 on FreeBSD with Apache2 Thanks!

Hi...I've tried to create the first account...and subsequent ones...and I keep getting returned to the login page. I thought that maybe I messed up in creating the first account, but after I tried to create a user account after that, I received no email. Any suggestions?

Drupal runs fine, as far as I can tell on our Mac Apache2- php4.

I tried the .htaccess file after the install and it causes "Internal Server Error 500" I started to #-out lines in the .htaccess file until they were all commented out. Only then did Drupal run OK

I use .htaccess on the same server with other scripts with no problems. What could be causing this weird behaviour with Drupal?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hiya drupal dudes...!

Any1 out there successfully installed the multiple-themes-same-database patch?

It's at the following link:

http://drupal.org/node/view/5942

Am a newbie that has tried a few times to install it without success. Am baffled by the patch-updating process. Read the manual, which points to a few programmes to download, but , no simple instructions on the step-by-step approach.
