So, I followed the installation video completely, down to every last word. When I go to my drupal page, it doesn't load any of the basic starting graphics, and when I click on any link it takes me to a page that doesn't exist. It does this because it is looking for EVERYTHING in the /php/ directory, which does not exist and never has, nor did I at any point in time ever set anything to find things from the /php/ directory.
What's the deal? The website is on an intranet, so you won't be able to see it. Thanks for the help, I really apprecaite it since I am at my witt's end.

I'm not familiar with the installation video, but I recommend that you set the base_url in your settings.php file. That might help depending on your directory setup.

Yes, that has been set,
Yes, that has been set, checked, and double checked (by more than one person), and yet the problem persists.
Anyone have any idea?
Does anyone have ANY idea what could be wrong? I seriously doubt that it could be installation video. There's nothing wrong with that.
I still need help!
I still CANNOT figure this out! Can someone please help me?
It will be helpful to know
It will be helpful to know more information - how are you running PHP? Is this IIS on Windows, Apache on Solaris, etc. Is it php-cgi, fast-mode, secure mode, is the server your own machine at home, a host's server (if so, which host) etc.
Keep providing information and that may spark someone's memory.

fix for all links point to server/php instead of server/drupal
In drupal\sites\default\settings.php, change
# $base_url = 'http://www.example.com'; // NO trailing slash!
to
$base_url = 'http://[server name]/drupal'; // NO trailing slash!
That's it.
I had this problem with Windows XP Pro, Apache 2.0.58, MySQL 4.1.20, PHP 4.4.2, & Drupal 4.7.2.
