Hi,
So I have a dedicated server with a mysql 4 database and a php 4, apache 2.

I tried to install drupal, following the instruction, but after all that I got error messages saying tables do not exist. Of course they do not exist, but isn't drupal supposed to create'em itself?

Thanks

You do need to load the initial table setup in the /database/ folder. You can do this through a MySQL client such as phpMyAdmin or from the command line. The installation video has a good walkthrough:

or you can read /INSTALL.txt for all the details.

Thanks I just noticed that. In fact my issue is a convertion issue I think. My old server had a mysql 5 database, the new one has a 4.1 database, so I think that is why I have problems...

Will be hard to fix all this ;)
