Post installation

I am using FC5 with mysql 5.0.21 OR postgresql-8.1.4-1 and PHP 5.1.4-1 and I have set up drupal before with; 4.51 with mysql 4x and php 3x.

1st:

The first problem with 4.7 "Unable to Connect to database Server" occurs with Postgres and Mysql. I have checked my login info and database permissions and the settings.php with both postgres and mysql and both give me this error.

2nd:

I when to 4.6.8 just to see if I could get something to work. Set up a new subdirectory under my www and and a new database for it.

It came up and allowed me to create an admin account and change the password but the PHP doesn't work, here is an example the theme display. I don't get a login screen so I can't logout.

{head} {styles}
{_BLOCK_.header.logo} {_BLOCK_.header.site_name}
{secondary_links}
{primary_links}
{_BLOCK_.header.blocks}
{_BLOCK_.header.message}

is possible to insert videos into a regular STORY node? like image_assist? tks

I seem to remember this being addressed on these forums somewhere, but my search came up empty; so forgive me if I have missed a discussion on this. We are pulling about 70 RSS feeds onto our (as-yet-unopened) Drupal 4.6.7 site using the Aggregator2 module (the very latest version that works with 4.6.7). Everything is working fine; except the module has the nasty habit of creating duplicate nodes for the same feed item - sometimes not once, but even two, three or four times or even more.

I've got Image Publishing(http://drupal.org/node/63154) downloaded and installed on my site but either....

A) I'm a complete moron.

B) Everyone but me was born with the knowledge of how to embed Gallery Remote into their site.

C) All of thee above.

Good day! Can anyone help me as to why i cannot upload the htaccess file to my server? And another thing, i cannot view my site... it only gives me a blank page.. im a newbie but i see a great resource here to learn.. ü

Is there an easy way to duplicate an existing website that I just completed?

I assume I cant just copy and paste the files into a new folder, correct?

Is there any documentation on this?

Thanks,
