Post installation

i'm trying to use 'clear' urls with my drupal site.
i set 'clear url' option in drupal->admin->config and this don't work for me.
when i trying to access url "http://127.0.0.1:8106/admin/user" i got:

"Bad Request: Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Apache/1.3.22 Server at alex Port 8106"

I turned on logging for mod_rewrite and what i get in log:

I'm trying to figure out how to create a splash page to my site. I'm using Drupal as the main level. So, a request to http://.../node shows the index page. And all the links are URL aliased, so http://.../stories/ is the tax page for all stories. When a user requests a blank page, they get /node.

I could totally be missing something obvoius, but is there not an image module yet for 4.4? I looked and all i could find was node_image. Image module for 4.3 won't work will it?

How do you create menus in chamelion? The menus I created in xtemplate disappear, and the ones I defined in config.php don't show up. I'm using Drupal 4.4.0.

Okay, I'm having a...weird problem with the newest Drupal 4.4 release candidate, after I install.

It installs fine, everything works, and I have figured out quite a bit, but this one problem plagues me. I go in, post a story, promote it to the frontpage, and all that, but the welcome message, the one that says it will disappear when you post content, does not disappear, nor is it replaced by the frontpage. What do I need to do to make it disappear so I can get the frontpage to show?

I had no problems installing this module, applying the patch, etc. But now that it's done, where is the thing? I don't get any errors. The textareas look the same. I enabled the module, enabled it as the default. I'm using IE 6.0, Mozilla 1.7b, and Firefox 0.8. I try to edit a node, there's no htmlArea. When I go to textareas in the config panel, the node I was just at appears in a list and the box is checked. Where's the toolbar? Am I insane? I looked over the past posts and didn't see anything like this dicussed. BTW, I am using xTemplate.
