Post installation

I am writing a custom module that integrates my existing app with drupal. I am using drupals menu_hook to produce my apps pages. My question is how do you encode your url with dynamic data like the following

domain/modulename/pagename?someParameter=someValue.

Using 4.6.0, I cannot login using my admin account. When I enter the username and password and press enter, Drupal returns:

Page Not Found

and goes to URL: www.fakedomain.user/login?destination=node%2F1

In my error logs, I see this:

Premature end of script headers: /home/onepass/public_html/index.php

And the Create New Account Link does not show up below the login box either

OK. I've searched muliple times for an answer to this and so far have failed. I'm trying to apply a patch (the latest patch found here http://drupal.org/node/70276 to the latest release of administration.module for 4.7, as well as the cvs version just in case). This module is a folder full of files. I've tried the patch locally in the same directory as the folder and also I've tried from inside the folder. I ran Terminal (on Mac OSX 10.4) and cd to the directory, then ran:

I'm not particularily proficient in using mod_rewrite. I'd like to know how to use Apache's rewrite for a request http://mydomain.org/index.php?name=something
into
http://mydomain.org/old/index.php?name=something

I can't seem to get signatures to appear in forum topics. Looks like it doesn't do it here either.

Am I missing something?

i have a clean 4.7.2 install where i had made a taxonomy in order to find that taxonomy menu doesn't work yet with 4.7. so i went on to install the categories module and converted the taxonomy into categories.
now, every time i try to admin categories, i get the following error:

Table '.view_view' doesn't exist query: SELECT vid, description FROM view_view ORDER BY description in /home//public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

could someone please point me to what's wrong, and - more importantly, how do i fix this?

thanks
