Drupal 7.x

Greetings...
Spent the last couple of days trying to get Drupal to install.. FreeBSD 7.0-p8. I tried 7.2 initially, then today noticed 7.4 came out, so tried that as well. Same problem; get to Configure site page, submit, and WSOD. The only error I've been able to find (after turning on all the error reporting I can find) has been from mysqld, reporting :

nes mysqld: 110630 4:30:48 [Warning] Aborted connection 2535 to db: 'jason' user: 'jason' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets)

This is with both 7.2 and 7.4. For more data points, I just downloaded 6.22, and it installed and seems to run. So it's something with 7.x that doesn't like my system... Here is the status report from 6.22:

I really need to associate a forum post with a section of my site so that the menu block appears and shows the relevant submenu and the current context.

Currently, when entering a forum post it looses the submenu completely (as the post doesn't have a menu link in the menu tree).

Maybe I should be using a different module to manage my submenus.

I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm currently trying to upload my website on an OVH hosting.
I read that some modifications needs to be done:
.htaccess -> add:

SetEnv PHP_VER 5
SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0
SetEnv ZEND_OPTIMIZER 1

And on settings.distant.php (will be rename as settings.php later):
change this: $db_url = 'mysqli://root:root@localhost/drupal';
for: $db_url = 'mysqli://login:password@server/database';

Some of my mobile users are complaining that there is partially obscured text on the screen.

Apparently it says something like

<--obscured--> main content

I'm afraid that I don't have a Blackberry Curve so I can't verify this or examine it further.

I am using a stripped down Zen theme that I've removed just about everything from, but this seems to be some kind of residual element, possibly a breadcrumb or something.

All blocks have been removed (except, obviously, MainPageContent block)..

When you set a default user pic and select the image style you want to control it throughout the site, it doesn't work. Default user pictures are not passed through these settings and so the image is never resized, scaled, cropped, etc like it is supposed to be.

This used to be a Imagecache problem and I figured it would be something they fixed when it was all integrated into core but it hasn't. Since this is a core feature that does not work properly, I consider it a bug. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
