Hello every body!!
I have just try to install Drupal but when I have finished the configuration of the mysql (create user, database...) I try to open the index page of Drupal but the program say this:
Warning: Compilation failed: this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support at offset 274782396 in C:\FoxServ\www\drupal-4.7.2\includes\unicode.inc on line 32
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\FoxServ\www\drupal-4.7.2\includes\unicode.inc:32) in C:\FoxServ\www\drupal-4.7.2\includes\common.inc on line 139
Unable to connect to database server
This either means that the username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the MySQL database server. This could mean your hosting provider's database server is down.
The MySQL error was: .
Currently, the username is ichasco and the database server is localhost.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
What are the warnings thar there at the top? is this the problem because of the connection with de database fail??
Thank you very much!!

The database error has to do
The database error has to do with an incorrect database setup or incorrect username or password.
I am assuming that you didn't install MySQL, so, double check the username and password to make sure that you entered the correct ones. OR, the database host name is incorrect.
Did you change it from "localhost" to another value? The value "localhost" only works if the database is on the same server.
Sorry, I can't help you with the unicode error. But, I am guessing you might have to upgrade PHP or install drupal 4.6

The problem continues
Thank you kompressor!!
I have just tried to connect to the database with MySQL Front with my username and my password and i have been able to do it. I don´t know it can be posible, because I am trying to install drupal in my own computer in localhost. I don´t know but i think that it is because of the warnings that happend at first.
I´m using windows xp and drupal 4.7.2 installed in an apache servcer.
