[support] profiles problem - newbie

[Waprothero@gmail.com]

Marty,
When I got started with Drupal, I purchased one of the Drupal for Dummies books. Drupal is now at version 7 (8 is too new to use yet) and you need to make sure the book covers the version you are using. One gotcha is the invisible .htaccess file that must be in the root of your installation. Another important file is the setups.php file in the sites/default folder. I use MAMP on Mac or WAMP on windows to create a local version to play with.

Get a book. It will save you loads of time and orient you to the drupal way of doing things.

Good luck.
Bill
