Hello everyone.

I've just installed 4.4.2 on my localhost running WAMP. I've successfully made it to the initial set-up page, however, if I click a link to Create a New User, I simply get a list of the files in the /drupal directory on the server. I notice that when I hover over the link, in the Firefox status bar, the URL is http://localhost/drupal/?q=user/register . I'm positive that "index.php" should be in there, correct?

$base_url = "http://localhost/drupal"; is what I have set in conf.php. If I add /index.php to the end of that, I simply get a 404 Not Found.
($base_url = "http://localhost/drupal/index.php";)

Everything looks "normal" otherwise. The page is styled, and there are links to the admin section etc., as you would expect. All of those links behave in the same way as the above-mentioned Create New User link.

I'm basically chasing my tail around in circles. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may offer.

Craig.

Problem solved.

I needed to add "index.php" to the Apache httpd.conf file for DirectoryIndex.

I'd like to thank Tangent from the Drupal IRC channel for his/her help last night. Although at the time we weren't able to solve the issue, s/he was certainly willing and able to try to help out. Can't say the same for this forum, however.

You are welcome for whatever aid I was able to give. Sorry for the belated response, but I just saw this post ;-)

I've got all my Rewrites and directory indexes lined up.... .htaccess is changing the relevant php directives etc....

When I attempt to login, I am taken to a blank page, can't figure it out.
RewriteBase is /drupal
if point my browser after to http://localhost/drupal/q?
It will take me to the admin page where I can go to various settings pages.
If I make a change to the settings for instance (change the slogon for instnce)
when I press the form submit button I get a blank screen

Can anyone give any suggestions as to what it might be?

Using apache 2, php4 and php5 (I've got 2 machines, one linux one wamp with same issue)

It's driving me up a wall....... :(

I'm new to Apache/MySQL/Drupal and have been struggling with this same problem for all day! Thanks for solving this. I hope that problem was the last brick wall I hit. ;^)
