Hi

This is a truely newbie question. I followed the instructions and installed the drupal and went ahead modifying the themes, everything seems to be working OK but when I want to post, it gives me this message:

-----message -------------------------
user error: Access denied for user: 'maryamr_dbuser@localhost' to database 'maryamr_dru'
query: LOCK TABLES sequences WRITE in /home/maryam-r/public_html/dru/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 97.
-----message -------------------------

Hi all,
I'm a very-newbie, trying to install drupal.
I loaded the file database.sql on my server via PhpMyAdmin, then I edited the /includes/conf.php with the (i hope:-) ) correct data.

That's the error i get once pointed the browser on my website (www.leparole.net):

Drupal version 4.4.0
PHP Version 4.3.4
PHPinfo available at http://63.229.17.66/phpinfo.php

Line in question:

mysql_connect($url["host"], $url["user"], $url["pass"]) or die(mysql_error());

tested suggestions no change in result:

extension_dir = /usr/lib/php4
extension=mysql.so

I would appreciate some feedback it seems the parsing for this line is written incorrectly.

Mail problems seem to be popular now days. I'm configuring 3.2.1 and having problems sending mail from Drupal. Server is SUSE Linux. I've been fumbling around and gotten to the point where Drupal is attempting to send message to the correct mail server, but is not authenticating successfully. The php.ini is configured with the path to sendmail. I've also stored smtp settings in the smtp.php file (including username and password for authentication which has been triple checked). Problem is that Drupal's anonymous user is not using the supplied authentication information.
