Just installed Drupal 6.12, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.9 and MySql 5.1 on Windows Xp. It shows me the welcome to Drupal page, but no matter what i try to do i get redirected to htdocs/index.html. The url will show something like http://localhost:8080/?q=admin/settings. I can log in to MySql with my drupal user. The installation seemed to go ok - created the database it said.

I don't even know what to search for. I checked the installation faq.I am new to Drupal PHP but not webservers or programming.

Seems like you have not set correct directory index in Apache. Please check DirectoryIndex setting in your httpd.conf, it should be set to index.php.

I did that but it seemed to do the same basic thing. I was logging in as my regular user. When I log in as my admin user I see the menus. I guess the default behavior for a permission violation is to go to the default index page?

Hm… Don't know.
Do you have index.html in your htdocs directory? If you do, you could try to move or delete it.

I was logging in as my regular user. When I log in as my admin user I see the menus. However, sometimes when I click on a link, it still takes me to the Apache default index page.
