Installing Drupal

Hi,

I believe I have the url rewrite module working, but I'm having trouble cleaning the query string for Drupal. I'm pretty sure this is the case because I was able to use Drupal's url aliasing module to change 'forum/1' to 'book-club' on my site. What I'd like to do is remove that '?q=' from my url. Every time I try to create a url alias for the expression I get a error stating: "The normal path '...' is invalid"

Can anyone provide me with a snippet to illustrate how to do this?

TIA

I am new to drupal and I love it! But I have a problem with images: I have installed the Image module, and when I want to upload one, I get this error message:

warning: move_uploaded_file(./tmpimg_bisho_verde_chico.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/cavaleri/public_html/drupal/modules/image.module on line 448.
warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpdfEBh9' to './tmpimg_bisho_verde_chico.jpg' in /home/cavaleri/public_html/drupal/modules/image.module on line 448.

Could you help me? I really need this feature.

I just installed Drupal and everything seems to work fine except that when I hit the submit button on any admin form I get this:

http:///?q=admin/system

If i edit the result to include my URL, hit return, and submit my changes again it will work. This is slightly annoying so if anyone has a suggested fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Today I tried to install Drupal, but I ran into some problems. I'm getting an Internal server Error
I'm using a virtual host.
Some posts on this forum directed me to altering the .htaccess file:

DocumentRoot /path_to/drupal-4.3.2
ServerName www.domainname.com

AllowOverride All

Now the error log states that there is something wrong with this.
However, I'm no expert on this subject and can't figger out what is wrong.

Goal: deploy basic site nav by showing hierarchical navigation block where each nav item links to only one node and properly classified new nodes are added to nav automatically to allow various site editors to add new "static" pages to a site nav hierarchy.
