I have completed all the file setup for both the root folder and the database. The database and the settings.php have been connected. When I point my browser to my site, I get the following error (haven't found this one in the archives):
-----------------------

---------------------------------
After expanding the drupal.tar.gz file into a drupal folder, I moved all of the drupal folder contents into my root directory. My file structure seems to be correct.
You can see the error at: http://site295.webhost4life.com/cmsaub/
Has anyone encountered this before? Any ideas?
I have contacted my server host about the php version running on my server. I was told to expect "the most recent", but they are double checking.
Thanks.

Do all files have 644
Do all files have 644 permission and all directories 755? Do other PHP/MySQL applications work with your setup?

Those versions look fine to me, i.e., it should work. What are the exact error messages you get?
Here's what I get if the permissions of settings.php are incorrect:
That's why I think it might be a permissions problem.

Your Errors are My Errors
velkr0:
I've been struggling with errors similar to yours for days, and I found a solution (it may be a hack) at the http://drupal.org/node/34949 topic discussion:
"...
My final solution was to put into bootstrap.inc just above the includes an ini_set command.
....
ini_set("include_path",".");
unset($conf);
$config = conf_init();
include_once 'sites/default/settings.php';
include_once 'includes/database.inc';
include_once 'includes/session.inc';
include_once 'includes/module.inc';
..."
I put the "ini_set(..." line into my bootstrap.inc (around line 639), restarted apache (rcapache2 restart, in SuSE), and my main page has finally appeared after installation. Maybe it will help. I believe I will post a bug report.
By the way, the system is retail SuSE Linux 10.0, apache 2.0, php 4.4.0 (both from SuSE rpms) and drupal 4.6.3. Hope this helps.

A followup:
If this works for you, you can effect the same change globally within your php.ini. Mine is at /etc/php.ini. While editing as root, look for a directive "include_path". In my original file it read:
include_path = "/usr/share/php"
I changed it to:
include_path = ".:/usr/share/php"
I commented out the line I added to includes/bootstrap.inc, restarted apache, and Drupal still worked. I was able to create the admin account (account #1).
Since Drupal did work "out of the box" when installed under Fedora Core 3, I am going to check its php.ini file. My guess is that its include_path directive includes the ".:" in it. If it is, then is this a SuSE problem with its php rpms, or is it a problem with Drupal assuming a particular include_path entry?
