Installing Drupal

Hi,
I'm trying to use taxonomy_dhtml and I succed a bit on my way.
I created a taxonomy block and copy the code from Drupal handbook and it works.
I load the module taxonomy_dhtml and called my site with /taxonomy_dhtml and I get a nice tree structure like these:

Top
   * aaa (3)
     o blabla
     o ertert
     o qweqwe
   * bbb (1)
     o yuiyui
   * CCC (1)
     o cccdddfff

just install drupal...

everything fine...except when i load the index.php ...
i will get this:

Fatal error: Table 'drupal.variable' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM variable in
e:\apache\htdocs\server\drupal\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 75

the database was loaded into mysql without any errors...i think..
anyone can help?

This might be a stupid question, but where can i block a user in the admin area? I just want to delete an account, but drupal tells me 'Failed to delete account: the account has to be blocked first'.

Hi All,
Sorry for this post if it is obvious.

I need to change the re-write rule (or the link) for the admin pages. My site has a symbolic link for all domains on my server so [hostname]/admin redirects to the admin page for that domain.

When I enable clean URL's, the admin link obviously redirects there instead of the drupal pages.

Any ideas? TIA!!

Is there like a newsletter function, that allows users to subscribe to site news, blog updates, new blogs, stuff like that, I cant seem to find it, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I looked today at the blogcensus.net web site, offering different kind of statistics of the blogging world.

there is for instance the number of users of blogging tools.
I was wondering why drupal was not at all in those statistics. (There is php-nuke, moveable type, blogger etc...)

Any idea?
And any estimation of the number of active drupal bloggers?

Note: I'd like to get the repartition of bloggers (not only drupal) by country. Somebody read that somewhere ?? I'm just curious to get figures (I found just a map so far).
