I have successfully gotten installed Drupal, except for one big problem. When I load the homepage, all of the links direct to http://localhost/?q=admin rather than http://www.domain.com/?q=admin. As a result, I am not able to create an account or do anything else.

I've tried the solutions mentioned in other posts which described a similar problem, but none of them have worked. I tried editing my .htaccess and conf.php files with no success.

I am running Drupal on an external server running Linux/Apache, and I do not have root access.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Looks like you have a bad $base_url variable in the conf.php file. Could you post its contents here so that we may see what's set? It may help diagnosing it.

I figured it out. For some reason there was a stray # above the $base_url line. Works now. Thanks!
