Installing Drupal

Hi there,

RedHat8.0 , drupal 4.0.0 , mySQL 3.23.52, PHP 4.2.2
( standard rh8 installation )

I create db drupal with user drupal and his password, change conf.php to $db_url = "mysql://drupal:mypassword@localhost/drupal";

but when i connect to http://localhost/ (where i put drupal files ) i get this error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 7

NB: user has the right grant permission on drupal DB

What can i do now ???

Running Drupal with PostgreSQL creates me this ugly problem:

//
// Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to // allocate 63791 bytes) in /usr/share/drupal/includes/common.inc on line // // 380
//

It seems to come from resources limits specified in php apache configuration (php.ini):

memory_limit = 16M

Inage admin module prints that it can not find imagemagick covert on apache. No thumbnails created... Path supplied by hosting techsupport is:

/usr/X11R6/bin/convert

Why could it be? Is it something missed?

The [image] module produces some strange result when I try to post (after preview) pix:
+++
warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/.uffizi/robo/lab.jsport.net/dp/modules/image.module on line 763.
+++
Then no thumbnails are created. Just placeholders.
And image admin screen prints smth like 'imagemagick convert not foud'. But path to imagemagick convert provided by hosting support fellow.

What is it? What should I do to correct it?

I checked the tutorial on news feeds, but the key piece I need isn't there: how to import news feeds.

Can someone please give me a few hints on how this works? In particular, if there is a technique for importing Amphetadesk or Userland feed information, that would be a help.

thnx. ...edN

This is latest Drupal on Win2K with PHP4RC1 and Apache 1.x.27.

The login script hangs and does not display the home page. The Apache error log tells me there is a PHP Notice, to quote:
"[Mon Nov 18 15:24:37 2002] [error] PHP Notice: argument passed to unserialize() is not an string in g:apacheapachehtdocsmodulesuser.module on line 80"

If I "Reload Current Page", I'm taken to the user page and all seems to work OK after that.
