Installing Drupal

My problem is identical to the post at http://drupal.org/node/1184140 , but none of the solutions in the replies for that post are working for me. Using the Drupal.org instruction on Clean URLs, (http://drupal.org/node/15365) I've tried several combinations of commenting out and replacing rewrite statements in the .htaccess file, but nothing seems to work. The home page is fine, and I can view an individual node by adding a more complete path like index.php?p=node/2.

Ok so I have decided to move one of my sites internal. I just setup a brand new Ubuntu server with apache2. I copied the site over, setup mysql, setup apache2, and I can actually navigate to the site. However, I am unable to login. When I try to login, the site goes busy for a split second and then does nothing. It is like it takes me right back to the same page, and clears my credentials.

What I have tried.

I've got a default install of d7. I've done absolutely nothing with it except load the home page. Viewing the home page of the site in Firefox, I'm getting a TON of jquery warnings. Is this normal?!?!?

I just installed the DAMP Windows Stack for Drupal version 7.12-1 on my PC. Went through the whole thing and got the message at the final stage. C:/Programfiles/acquia-drupal/installer.log

Hi all, After installing, I encounter this:

The specified file temporary://fileoUhsF0 could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured. This may be caused by a problem with file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log.
The specified file temporary://fileV9VuC2 could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured. This may be caused by a problem with file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log.
