Installing Drupal

Hi,

We just downloaded and started using Drupal. Great so far.

However, we want to have content pages looking like these:
http://myurl.com/my/content/page
http://myurl.com/myother/page
http://myurl.com/pagename

Is there any site that stores translations ? Where can I find them ? I know they're done, just need to find the messages...

Thanks

I seem to have this problem with quite a few modules that I try. I'm fairly certain that it's the configuration of php and/or apache, because these modules work fine on another server.

I constantly get function redeclaration errors in most modules, for instance the quotes module:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare quotes_perm() in /path/to/drupal/modules/quotes/quotes.module on line 69

I get this on many other modules too. I am running Drupal 4.3.1 on Apache 1.3.26 using PHP 4.1.2.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey all,

I'm new to drupal and working my way through the install process.. Any tips on debugging errors like the one in the topic?

When I goto http://server/drupal directory I get:
Database problem: DB Error: connect failed

Any tips on how to debug that problems?

Thanks!

I finally got Drupal up and running. Many thanks to Arevos and Max Bell for getting me on my feet.

Next very basic question: To alter the appearance of Drupal, let's say to make the background black as opposed to white, do I simply edit the "drupal.css?" I saw there was a section called "themes" but I'm not certain how to implement those. Do I simply rename and replace the existing .css files?

I imagine if I wanted to move to a black background, I would also have to invert some of the bitmap files like "menu-expanded.gif."

I want my website to use taxonomy to show small images next to each content item, similar to what slashdot.org does. Is this possible with the built-in taxonomy functionality, or do I need to modify source code?
