I am having an issue after everything has been installed and appears to be working........I log in fine but when I click on any items in the menu of the welcome page (administer, create content etc.), it takes me back to the list of directories and files of the root. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

U have clean url's enabled? U might wanna uncomment the rewritebase. Sounds like drupal cant find the admin pages. Maybe some issues with permissions. Best way is to tar your old website and unpack it, so u wont loose all the permissions.

I cannot seem to get this to work. I have tried all sort of things. I am not sure that I am successfully changing user permissions. Total newbie. The installation goes just fine but when I click on anything from the landing page, I just get a list of files.

Have you had any luck on this issue? Are you using windows vista? I have tried all sorts of things with no luck. Also newbie and highly frustrated.

Have you checked for .htaccess file ?
.htaccess file should be at root folder.

Thanks

drupal install completed,when I click to see my site my regular webpage comes up not the "welcome to the drupal site " page.

I received the email to activate my account but the link just takes me to my regular website and not Drupal Page

I have existing website on hosted webserver.

I tried accessing my htaccess file but message says I'm not allowed to modify it

if u are using apache, most likely, u havent setup correctly in apache.

before the drupal answer your request, it is the Apache, who handle your request (i.e. http://xxx.com/xxx)

u have to tell apache to forward the http request to your drupal in httpd.conf.

good luck.
