Installing Drupal

Hello!

I have a gallery2 script with clean urls in my rootdir http://mywebsite.com
And a drupal script used as my blog at http://mywesite.com/blog located at rootdir/blog/

I' ve successfully created some static drupal pages in my root dir.
For example http://mywesite.com/blog/about -> http://mywesite.com/about
For example http://mywesite.com/blog/contact -> http://mywesite.com/contact

using .htaccess

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /about
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index\.php$
RewriteRule . /blog/about [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /contact
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index\.php$
RewriteRule . /blog/contact [QSA,L]

But I'm stuck at subdirs like forum/24354 or /user/55

I've tried
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /forum/(\?.|\ .)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index\.php$
RewriteRule . /blog/forum/(\?.|\ .) [QSA,L]

But gallery's rewrite rules ignore it and give 404 errors.

Has anyone done this before?
Thanx

hi everyone,

i used to install my Drupal on the local host. Today I tried to install it on my 1&1 server. I have set up the setting.php (copy and change permission), but I still get the requirements problem. I totally have no idea what happen? 'cause this is not my first time to install drupal. I believe I really follow the correct steps. Or that probably is 1&1's server causes this problem??

===============================================================
Requirements problem
The following error must be resolved before you can continue the installation process:
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings. (Currently using PHP register globals Enabled ('1'))

I have just downloaded, unzipped and copied all the drupal folders to my site. however when i go to my site i get a blank screen, if i try /install.php i still get a blank screen. I have created my database in MySQL and have tested it and it works. Please help with any info you have available for this problem. Thanks.

I installed drupal on the server and the front page is fine but nothing else works. I get a 404 not found (port 80) on all the links including when I try to log in. I dumped the database and imported through the phpMyAdmin.

Any ideas, I am lost here
Thanks

how can i log out when i close my sight? i close my window, if i dont log out it stays logged in, no matter where you view it from.
