When attempting to create my initial user (admin), it tells me that I need to enter a username and email address... even when they are complete! (See screenshot).

There are many people who are able to register a new user, so there must be something interesting about your setup that causes this problem. It's possible that there is a bug in Drupal that only shows up for your combination of environment, so could you please post some more information such as the web server, web server OS, database, any internet explorer settings, any language settings.

As it is, I cannot repeat your bug, so some steps to repeat would be very useful. Something like
1. install Drupal under PHPx.x and apache x.x with
2. make configuration xyz
3. attempt to create user

Or if you can provide the specific steps that you followed (which links) after the installation, maybe that is the problem. Either way, we're going to need lots more information.

  1. Installed Drupal on Linux under PHP 5.0.4 / Apache 2.0.54
  2. Used the database files to load to MySQL 4.1.16 via phpMyAdmin 2.8.0.3.
  3. Changed the /sites/default/settings.php to reflect the appropriate database connections and user login info
  4. Accessed the main page by typing in http://server_URL/drupal_path/.
  5. Clicked "Create first account"
  6. Typed in "jlieberman" under Username and my email address. Hit Submit.
  7. Received the error shown in the screenshot.

Note: I tried this on both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I have not changed any of the Internet Options, there are no cookie issues, and there are no ActiveX / Java issues. I have even tried using a different email address that doesn't have a dot in the first part.

It is also important to note that another developer installed a different instance of Drupal for another project under a different directory on the same server and had gotten it to work. That was of course before the new one came out.

I have the same problem. Server specs:
FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE-plus-some-patches
PHP 5.1.2 (cgi)
Apache 1.3.34
PHP is configured as CGI in Apache with mod_suexec executing them with the owners permissions.

I've unpacked drupal 4.7 downloaded from this website. Edited the sites/default/settings.php file and imported the database.pgsql file into a PostgreSQL database. I should note that i've used 4.6 a lot and 4.7 beta and RC versions before this so it's not my first time with drupal if thats what you're wondering.

Let me know if you need anything else as this is very important to me. I work at a hosting company where we are about to offer Drupal accounts and i'm supposed to have it up and running by Monday. I've used multiple sites before on 4.6 but i was waiting for 4.7 to become stable.

I had the same problem and solved ist temporary with a dirty Hack on my testing-system.

System-setup:

PHP Version 5.1.1
Apache 1.3.26
Linux-kernel 2.6.14.5
register_globals On

I think the key to solve the problem is in the function drupal_unset_globals (inc/bootstrap.inc)when having register_globals On. I checked the Array $GLOBALS bevore the function is called and it is full of ENV-variables. After runnig, the Array is fully emtpy. When commenting out the functions code everything works OK but I don't know if I open security-holes with that.

After that some forms are working that were not working bevore are working, including the register-form.

I'll take a look at this issue but I'm very new to drupal, hope I could help. I attached a phpinfo-printout of the Server I installed Drupal at.

Greetings

Christian
