Go in as Admin and try to edit the themes defaults...like primary links, logo etc...hit save...refreshes page...log out/in..nothing changed!
Go back to settings...they revert back to defaults discarding anything entered.
What is really strange is that I can change to another theme, it has a check box selected to show navigation block, however, it is not present when the theme invokes let alone any changes I have added.
So its hard to navigate cause the left block is missing.
Switching back to the bluemarine theme brings back the block.
I *can* post comments and stuff.
Doesn't matter if logged in/out or what user.
Tried clearing my Firefox cache.
PHP cache and Drupal cache are turned off.
Happens no matter logged in or logged off.
Running latest Drupal, PHP and MySQL versions.
Checked permissions in web directory.
Tried changing everything to 777.
Nothing in the apache logs.
Searched Drupal site for similar experiences, none found.
Tried IRC #drupal-support to no avail.
Any help appreciated!
Like where it stores this information so I can manually change things.
Most likely mySQL but maybe config files.

What version?
What version are you running? There is a bug in CVS HEAD that prevents block regions from initializing. See this issue: http://drupal.org/node/34086
If you try the patch, please reply to the issue noting the outcome.
Still not working.
Installed the patch in my drupal home directory.
Did this:
patch -Np1 -i modules/system-theme-block-init.patch
Output:
patching file system.module
Hunk #1 succeeded at 787 (offset 14 lines).
Went in and tried again to noavail.
To answer your question on what version:
Latest CVS Head.
Same here
I also have this problem with the 10/19/05 checkout of CVS HEAD. Even if I copy bluemarine to a new directory and select it, the right & left blocks disappear.
Second, many theme settings are not saved. Try as you might to set them, when you navigate back to the settings page, they remain unchanged.
In addition, I can't get archive pages or event pages to display. I just get blank pages.
Any ideas where to start tackling these problems?

Thanks
Thanks -- that patch didn't work for me.
Anyone know where to get a previous CVS Head?
I'm thinking maybe I can just step back from the 10/19/05 CVS Head.
Where can I get an older version?
Kindof stranded in the water with my web development until this is fixed.
Otherwise, its useless.
I'd really like to use Drupal, but am starting to think Joomla may be a better choice at this time.
perhaps try 4.6 instead.
perhaps try 4.6 instead. Unless you are familer with Drupal it is not a good idea to work with cvs because of issues like this.

You can get any date's commit from cvs.drupal.org

Can't go to 4.6
There is a bug there also that just blanks out the login process.
That makes no sense. I
That makes no sense. I supose that your comment is specific to your individual customization?

Fixed!
Type the following:
mysql -u user -p
drop database drupal
Now go here:
joomla.org
Install Joomla.
Oh my God!
It was so effortless.
After days of trying to get drupal working, this less than 5 min install was refreshing.
Sorry guys, but Drupal is not mature enough.
I'll check back in a year and see how it evolves.
Good you've found a solution
It's good you've found a solution that meets your needs.
The issues you found with Drupal seem to be mainly from trying to use a CVS version under active development rather than a stable release. You happened to hit a point, just after a particularly large and complex patch hit core, when there are many loose ends to fix.
Still, if you have any specific suggestions as to areas that Drupal could improve upon, based on your comparative experience, it might be valuable to put them in a forum post.
