Deprecated - Drupal core

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up Drupal version 4.6.2 under the this environment:

PHP 5.0.4
MySQL 4.1.12

Fedora Core Platform

Despite following the detailed set-up procedure under the Handbook manual, i'm still
encountering several errors on the database.mysql.inc file. I've tried running some test code using mysqli (MySQL Improved) extension and its working.

May be you have a solution to this problem. I would appreciate any help from you. Thanks in advance

I've been getting an error message "SELECT DISTINCT, ORDER BY expressions must appear in select list" and tracked the problem down to book.module line 825.

I made the error message go away by adding "b.weight" to the SQL.

I'm new to Drupal and I don't even know PHP properly so I have no idea if this is the right thing to do, but it looks like a fix that you may need to know about.

It seems that Drupal 4.6.2 likes to try to insert an empty string into a database integer.

Here's the postgresql.log entry when adding a new page ...
LOG: statement: INSERT INTO node (title, body, format, uid, type, teaser, status, moderate, promote, sticky, comment, created, changed, nid) VALUES('asdasdasd', 'my page bodwqeqwy', '1', '2', 'page', 'my page bodwqeqwy', '1', '', '1', '', '2', '1122760641', '1122760641', '8')
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""

It also seems that MySQL permits this behaviour (bad MySQL!) whilst Postgresql doesn't.

Here is what the form() function currently returns:

<.form action="?q=$url" method="$action">
<div> $content
</div></.form>

(yeah, the dots were added. Suspicious input data otherwise, grrr....)

Are the empty <div> tags really needed? Could we avoid them? Isn't there a less intrusive way to guarantee that forms are block level?

I'm just trying out Drupal. Mostly I love it and think I've finally found the CMS I've been looking for. I really appreciate the effort!

I notice though that it throws a lot of Notices and Warnings and, from there a lot of "Headers already sent" errors and the like. These are typically easy to correct and, of course, not Errors, but they seem to generate a lot of forum chatter and questions from confused users who don't understand the "headers already sent" errors.

I am experiencing difficulties uploading a forum topic. First off this is what it looks like when I upload a forum topic (this was today) (see attachment at this bug report http://drupal.org/node/27663) If you notice, the Forums category is split into two, which it shouldn't. Well when I hit the preview key a message in a green box reads and I quote:The item Forums is only a container for forums. Please select one of the forums below it. How can this be when I did choose which category it belongs to? Please help me.
