I'm a newbie at drupal and recently i started to redhat linux 9 so i need to install drupal for working purposes. After i install drupal-4.3.0, i try to load http://localhost/index.php, but instead of the expected admin login, i was shown the index.php in html format.So i need help with this problem.I'm using PHP-4.3.4, MySQL and Apache-2.0.48.
I have just installed drupal for the first time, and am having difficulty setting it up. When I create the first account, rather than showing my password my browser just hangs for a while. I can see that the user has been created in the MySQL table during this time. Eventually, the notification appears that the password for the account has been emailed, but it never arrives. Any suggestions to remedy this would be greatly appreciated.
I uploaded the files to the hosting server /drupal-4.3.0
then I created the tables with no problems
I edited the conf.php file with the assumptions that the:
$db_url = "mysql://username:password@localhost/drupal"; means the localhost server for the MySQL database.... and:
