Drupal 7.x

I'm trying to use the built-in functionality in Drupal to create a simple knowledgebase. I created a new content type called Knowledgebase Entry that has a Title and a Description. I also added a list of "Products" to the Taxonomy Section.

Basically, I need help with 2 things.

Hi All

I am completely new to drupal as I am trying it out instead of use rapidweaver. So far I have installed drupal and Mamp (am on OSX). I downloaded a test theme to try and upload it to the site, which I unzipped and added to the theme folder, thinking that was it!

I was looking through the internet to see how to do this and noticed that I need a FTP client, so I downloaded filezilla. I went through the process of the install and all seemed fine.

I'm attempting to install Drupal 7 for the first time and have done nothing to modify any files, just uploaded them to my web space and CHMOD'ed a directory as instructed. However, when attempting to run the install script I got the following error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/fredr5/public_html/allison/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 677

The line in question is:
try {

In context:

  // Verify that we have an active database connection, before querying
  // the database. This is required because this function is called both
  // before we have a database connection (i.e. during installation) and
  // when a database connection fails.
  else {
    try {
      if (function_exists('db_query')) {
        $file = db_query("SELECT filename FROM {system} WHERE name = :name AND type = :type", array(':name' => $name, ':type' => $type))->fetchField();
        if (file_exists(DRUPAL_ROOT . '/' . $file)) {
          $files[$type][$name] = $file; 
        }
      }
    } 

I'm entirely unfamiliar with the code so I didn't want to add or delete anything without finding out what was going on and seeing if perhaps anyone else was having the same problem. I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

I am using Drupal 7 and have successfully installed CKEditor module (7.x-1.0). I am able to configure this module. However, I don't see the CKEditor window or toolbar when I create a new content (article). What do I need to do to use CKEditor?

Thanks for your help.

I am trying to add a new content type and after adding it it shows correctly on the Content Type page but it never appears on the Add Content selection list.

What can I do to correct this?
