I got several major problems with my drupal sites:

  • email never sent-out to new-registered user and user that requested password recovery (as i see in the logs)
  • mkdir access denied in includes/common.inc... blah...
  • directory 'files' is not writable (although i have set write access available to user, world, and group (0775))

    • How to fix those problems? Can anyone help me? Thank you very much...

What are the log messages that you're referring to?

What should we understand from this?

mkdir access denied in includes/common.inc... blah...

Show the message and describe what you do to get it.

It's possible that you need to open up the permissions on files even more.

That's all i can get.

EDIT: i get that errors when i administrate the themes of my site. I use spreadfirefox and PHPTemplate installed.

And another problem is:
When a user registers to my site... there is no password e-mailed to him/her.
Here are the logs...

user 2005-08-02 18:37 New user: sheLtic <sheltic561@yahoo.com> Anonymous edit details

But there is no e-mail containing password after that... it has been 2 hours since his registering to my site.

I hope that is specific enough... sob...

Looking forward DrupalED.

Some suggestions:
Directory 'files' should be owned by your webserver (usually nobody or www) otherwise you have to chmod it to 777.

mkdir access denied in includes/common.inc... has probably the same problem.

email never sent-out is harder to pinpoint since I don't know anything about your server. Maybe that error is connected to the above but I'm not sure.

When asking for help it is usually wise to give a brief description of your setup which could include
OS, webserver,php, mysql, Drupal versions
What Drupal logs shows, Other error messages generated. Whether you have access to the command line or not on the server.
And then be as specific as possible about the problem.

My experience is that people on this list are a little bit picky about these things but since time is a somewhat limited resource most people don't like to re-ask for information which should have been there in the first place.
