[support] Installation of Drupal 5.4

[Tom Holmes Jr.]

Great .. thanks for the information!   So, I gather I don't have to
worry about these errors right now?

I got drupal 5.4 almost working ... (on CentOS Apache 2.0 and PHP 4.3.9).
I was able to create the databae, and the permissions for settings.php
were adjusted.
I was able to get to the site, went to create first account with
username and email ...
And then when it tried to get to the next page ... it told me "Access
Denied"
So now I can't even get in as the first user ....  I've been researching
this in the forums.
I'll try Drupal 5.5 now and see what happens ....

Thanks again!!
