(it's not clear that this is really a fedora test issue, but it's the first time i've tried to configure drupal and it's happening on my test system so i figured i'd try here first.) i'm trying to set up drupal on my fully-updated f8t1 system. after installing the appropriate rpms, creating the mysql database, uncommenting the appropriate lines in /etc/httpd/conf.d/drupal.conf and restarting apache, i can browse to http://localhost/drupal, where i get the configuration screen. i fill in the name of the backend database i created earlier, as well as the mysql username and password i created to administer it, tell it to configure, and that appears to work: "Drupal installation complete." (in mysql, i verify that the backend database has been filled in with the appropriate tables, so that looks good. in particular, i check the "users" table from the database, and it has a single "NULL" entry since i haven't created any drupal accounts yet.) back at the browser, i now continue on the the new site, "Welcome to your new Drupal website", where instruction number one is to create my new administrator account. i click on that, where i'm prompted for a username and e-mail address. i fill that in with "rday" and "rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx", but i'm not prompted for a password to assign to account anywhere, which will become an issue shortly. i click "Create new account", and am immediately presented with a screen, "Access denied, You are not authorized to access this page." um ... ok, should i have expected that? i've received no email at my selected email address, and i certainly can't log in under that account since i have no idea what the password for it is (i wasn't prompted for one, remember?) if i go into mysql, i can see that the "users" table in the drupal database now has a second entry, with uid: 1 user: rday pass: 80c13bca024d370507d4284ca60229bc mail: rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx am i supposed to know what that encrypted password represents? at this point, i can't log into drupal, no matter what i do. at what point did this process go horribly wrong for me? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
