Post installation

I'm having a problem getting drupal to get along with other web applications that I have running on my server.

If I set session.auto_start to 0, the site works perfectly, but other php apps refuse to work at all.

If I set it to 1, everything but drupal works.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,
fnord

Any CSS guru's want to take a look at this? I appreciate any help in advance. Thank you.

The site: www.cookedgamers.net running Drupal 4.3.2 and Xtemplate.

The issues:
#1) IE gives a "flash" of CSS-less content on page load and when opening new pages within my site. Does not happen in Mozilla Firebird.
#2) Calendar border not appearing in Mozilla Firebird, appears in IE.
#3) Listed items (li) appear indented several pixels to the right in Mozilla Firebird. Appears normal in IE.

Is there a way to get 404 errors to display without installing drupal cvs?

Can someone explain to me why quotation marks are saved in mysql in the form of ’ or something like it? I am using Drupal 4.2. Output to a browser is fine but I did a trial upgrade to cvs and they came out as �(tm) (and variations on that theme). Is this something to do with magic_quotes?

Hi. When using drupal-4.3, 4.2 or cvs I cannot see the moderations of comments. I want users to be able to moderate (works) and the current mod-level for each comment is displayed in the forum along with the comment author, date and subject. I can do a 'select score from comments' within mysql to see that scores on comments are working. Doing a 'select score, votes from nodes' gives all zeroes as a response.

Another thing...To get the ratings module working I had to revert back to 4.2. Again, I cannot see within the portal how users can 'rate' other peoples forum postings.
