Hi,

I've installed a new installation of 5.1 drupal.

All went fine until I started the main page.

When I try to create the first user with root privileges, the system asks me for user and mail profile...then y click create new account and the page hangs...freeze..why? I can not create the first user,root, and more new little users.

Why?

Best regards

Are you sure that your DB server is responding, and that you have properly configured the settings.php file?

I've made some many changes but the page freezees....

The installation creates the db and tables show the first page and I can create the root user and pass, but then, freezes....

Just updated to 5.1 - it totally shafted my install (which is ok - it is a testbed afterall)

So, re-install fresh drupal, clean DB - run the install.php all nice and funky

Create first account

"You are not authorised to accesss this page"

Can't get any further.

On my local development machine I've:

1) downloaded 5.1 from http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/drupal-5.1.tar.gz
2) created a new DB,
3) run install.php
4) but after creating the first (admin) account, I get "You are not authorised to accesss this page" when directed to user/1/edit

This is strange, because I played around with 5.1 before and everything was fine then.

Just to be sure, I've repeated step 1-4 a couple of times but no luck.

Here is wath I get out of watchdog:

mysql> select type, message from watchdog;
+---------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| type | message |
+---------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| user | New user: bar <XXX@ZZZ. |
| access denied | user/1/edit |
+---------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Tried the same steps with 5.0 downloaded from http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/drupal-5.0.tar.gz

Same problem, after the frist account is created I get stuck on "You are not authorised to accesss this page" when directed to user/1/edit

Repeated the same procedure with 5.x-dev downloaded from here: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/drupal-5.x-dev.tar.gz

Now I passed step 1-4 and was able to change the password.

But, afer a logout - I cannot log in again.

mysql> select type, message from watchdog;
+---------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| type | message |
+---------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| user | New user: karl <XXX@ZZZ.xyz>. |
| user | Session closed for karl. |
| user | Session opened for karl. |
| user | Session opened for karl. |
| access denied | admin |
| user | Session opened for karl. |
| access denied | admin |
| access denied | user/1 |
| user | Session opened for karl. |
| access denied | user/1 |
+---------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

I found an "old" drupal-5.0-beta1.tar.gz in a tmp dir on my local box. Using this tar-ball I was able to install, create user1, change password, logout and log in again :-)
