Reading from the Drupal 6.6 manual:

If the default Drupal theme is not displaying properly and links on the page
result in "Page Not Found" errors, try manually setting the $base_url variable
in the settings.php file if not already set. It's currently known that servers
running FastCGI can run into problems if the $base_url variable is left
commented out

Is this a guaranteed thing with those running FastCGI or just a possibility?
And what does it mean by "try manually setting the $base_url variable in the settings.php file"?

And the other point simply means editing the /sites/default/settings.php file and uncommenting the line that reads:

# $base_url = 'http://www.example.com';  // NO trailing slash!

to

$base_url = 'http://www.example.com';  // NO trailing slash!

And of course changing http://www.example.com to your url.

Thanks for answering that question ainigma32.

As for the first question, for anyone one who knows...

If the default Drupal theme is not displaying properly and links on the page
result in "Page Not Found" errors, try manually setting the $base_url variable
in the settings.php file if not already set. It's currently known that servers
running FastCGI can run into problems if the $base_url variable is left
commented out

Is this a guaranteed thing with those running FastCGI or just a possibility?

Can somebody answer please.
