Clean URLs problem - modifying .htaccess

Hi,

I have a problem that when i enable clean urls I cannot access any of the pages in my site. Basically I keep getting forwarded back to the index.php page.

This has been raised in another thread in the support forums but I have a specific question that hasn't been answered there and that thread seems to have died.

Flash banner not working

I posted this subject on another forum cuz noone could help me out here. Well, i got better results and i got my flash banner installed in the header of my webpage. Or at least i thought i did. The original code in my chameleon.theme file looked like this:

$output .= " <div id=\"header\">";
$output .= "insert your standard flash embed code here";
$output .= " </div>\n";

I then changed the code to insert my flash file into the header:

$output .= " <object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#vers...\" width=\"900\" height=\"100\">;
<param name=movie value=\"loader.swf\">;
<param name=quality value=high>;
<embed src=\"loader.swf\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=S...\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"900\" height=\"100\">;
</embed>\n";
$output .= " </div>\n";

But when you go to my site, it looks like it did before, no flash banner, with just my site's name in the header. When you log into my site tho, the banner shows up, but the rest of the site doesn't. The banner just sits there with nothing else loading. And i know my flash file is large, very large. I'm working on fixing that, forgot to optimize the images in it. So, it won't be large for long. I just want to know how to fix the fact that only users logged can only see the flash, and fix it so the rest of my page loads.

Drupal & Debian post install problem

I've just installed Drupal (4.4.1-2) under GNU/Linux Debian, SID.


After installing, the front page appeared - drupal logo, login box, with a "page not found" message. When I clicked on the "create new account" button, it gave the following error msg:

The requested URL /usr/share/drupal/index.php was not found on this server.


When I checked apache's error log file, it says:

[Fri Jun 25 08:40:20 2004] [error] [client 192.168.1.70] File does not exist: 
/var/www/usr/share/drupal/index.php


Apparently it looks for the "/usr/share/drupal" directory under the default "/var/www" directory. Where should I fix this? Which file should I modify?

trouble with an autoinstall

I installed drupal after some research using an auto-install system on my shared host administration panel. It seemed to have worked superficially, but whenever I try to login, the links given from clicking the submit button format the url as "http://http://etc." if I can remove the extra http manually I can reach the log in page properly, but I can never send my log in info due to this error. Is this a common error?

Mailhandler Comments Problem

I have the mailhandler module installed and it's running great except for one problem: all posts done through mailhandler have comments disabled by default. After the post has been made I can go into the post, administer it and turn on comments. But this is annoying and I'd like to have comments be enabled automatically. Does anyone know how to do this?
