Hello all,

I've just managed to install mysql, php5 and apache 2.0 on my Ubuntu installation.

Everything seems to go ok until now but when I submit the drupal install.php script I get the following errors:

    * All necessary changes to ./sites/default/settings.php have been made, so you should now remove write permissions to this file. Failure to remove write permissions to this file is a security risk.

Is this a compatibility problem between the versions of the softwares I am using?

Apache v 2.0.63

PHP Version 5.3.0

Mysql v5.0

Linux : Ubuntu 9.04

I am also getting other errors whilst inside the drupal pages for admin.

When I try to create the first account (admin) I get the following errors/warning at the top of the page and the page's content is not even displayed: 

    * warning: Parameter 3 to block_user() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/mati/apache/htdocs/drupal5/includes/module.inc on line 386.
    * warning: Parameter 3 to comment_user() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/mati/apache/htdocs/drupal5/includes/module.inc on line 386.

    * warning: Parameter 2 to watchdog_user() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/mati/apache/htdocs/drupal5/includes/module.inc on line 386.

Any ideas?

Thanks

roll back to PHP 5.2.x Drupal 5 nor 6 is PHP 5.3 ready. I'd doubt Drupal 5.x will ever be but a patch is being worked on for D6.

Drupal 6.x does not run on PHP 5.3

are you stating that you are still getting the error using PHP 5.2.x ?
