Installing Drupal

Ok, I'm pretty sure that the error is do to the environment that I am running the site out of, but just on the off chance that I missed an instruction somewhere.

Is there somewhere where you need to specify your smtp/pop info, in order to get the site to send out emails correctly?

Thank you,
Stephen

Hello everyone,
I've just installed Drupal 4.3.0....I purposely wanted an older version. I'm running apache 2.0.47 with php 4.3.3 and mysql 4.0.18 under windows xp. I've looked at many different cms systems...Drupal seems interesting. But I can't get it to work. I'm having the same problem many others have:

Brand new to Drupal, so bear with me. I installed the base system 4.4.0-rc and it seems to work fine (shared hosting at 1and1). Installed the image module 4.3.0. The config page for image works fine. Went to administer->images, and got a php error "function table() not defined" at line 1679 of image.module.

I thought that perhaps the function table had been renamed to theme_table (the only similar function I could find), so I made a little wrapper function which aliases table to theme_table. Now I just get an empty page.

Any ideas?

Thanks -- Ken

If my webhost doesn´t alowe me to change the maqic quate to off with the htaccess file. Then I can`t run Drupal.
Is that so or are there ways around.
Happy for answer

The drupal d/b has been created and the tables entered successfully, in accordance with Drupal handbook steps 1-3.

I've progressed to point 4 on the drupal instalation : connecting drupal, but when I enter localhost/drupal it comes up with a blank screen.

I think it is probably an incorrect setting in conf.php - I have the following lines within the db_url section:

I have finally been able to pull the site up (past step 4) but now when i have to create the administrative account by clicking on the create account i get this message and i have no idea what to do:
