Installing Drupal

WinXP
Apache
php 4.2.2
mysql
drupal 4.2.0
Foxserv install package

I can't get Drupal loaded when I go to http://localhost. Everything else (apache, php, mysql) seem to check out. Perhaps I have the drupal folder in the wrong place? I put it in the www folder in foxserv/mysql. So I have been tinkering with the conf.php to set the database url to the localhost url, but to no avail. HELP!
TIA,
Bob

Dear Forum,

I'm having some problems loading drupal 4.2.0. I'm running it on Windows 2000 Advanced Server with PHP 4.3.0. I installed it following the instructions on the readme file. However, whenever I start it up, I get the following:

Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 20 bytes in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\junostarfinal\drupal-4.2.0\includes\common.inc on line 175

Excuse me, I not quite understand collaborative work concept in "book" module. If one user create a book page and this page is appears on a site, then can do another user with same access rights (both has "maintain books" permissions) modify that page? Or admin permissions need to modify another users pages?

In the profile I have set avatars. It allows users to upload avatars from their own system, cool. I would also like them to be able to choose avatars that I have uploaded to my avatar folder. How? :-) Tnx!

After installing an import.module, feeds are importing in a wrong coding - not utf-8(b.w. my browser doesn`t even recognize this encoding). And this is happens with all russian rss-sources in my news feed:(
And my taxonomy is not working with news feed, just no one of rss-feeds is marked with terms of a new vocabluary for feed news.

I cannot figure this one out -- and yes, I've searched this site, read the docs. I'm just missing something, I guess.

I'm working on my template for my site and doing OK, however, it is not displaying "read more" in the links under the teaser -- when I switch to the "marvin" template that came with Drupal, it does, but not in my own.
