Hi,
I am trying to evaluate Drupal. I downloaded version 6.16. Environment: Windows 7, Apache 2.2, MySQL 14.14., PHP 5.3.2.
I installed in a subdirectory ("Drupal") of htdocs of Apache (i.e. the url is expected to be localhost/Drupal/).
I got to the "Drupal installation complete" page, with one Warning:
"mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" ..."
I have no mailserver configured at localhost and I guess this is not the cause for the problem described below:
When I click on "your new site", I get a directory listing ("Index of /Drupal"); url: http://localhost/Drupal/
(url of "Drupal installation complete" page: http://localhost/Drupal/install.php?locale=en&profile=default)
When I click on "index.php", I get a "Welcome" page (url: http://localhost/Drupal/index.php), with the user name I gave for the Administrator. I am not asked to log in.
When clicking any (internal) link there, I get back to the directory listing (http://localhost/Drupal/).
I did the installation a second time, with a new database, after editing settings.php: $base_url = 'http://localhost/Drupal'; (and granting full write permissions to the whole htdocs directory of Apache); with the same result.
Database access works, the database is filled with tables after installation.
