If it was me, I would install a drupal site the "old fashioned way" and see if you get the same errors. I suspect you have some sort of permissions issue.<div><ol><li>download latest tar at <a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a></li>

i'm new to drupal. i've installed the ubuntu package and gotten it up with apache and mysql. i tried installing a calendar module:<br><a href="http://drupal.org/project/calendar" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/calendar</a><br>
(which required date and view) which i copied to:<br>/usr/share/drupal6/sites/all/modules<br>where 'sites' is a symlink to /etc/drupal/6/sites<br>when the packages are untarred, they have different different uid and gid, so i fixed that with a:<br>
chown -R root.root *<br><br>the packages show up in drupal under admin > site building > modules. however, i got an error when i enabled the modules (don't recall the exact error, but i'm thinking it is the same) and am now getting an error when i try to configure them. for instance, the error for view is:<br>
warning: Attempt to modify property of non-object in
/etc/drupal/6/sites/all/modules/calendar/includes/calendar_plugin_display_page.inc
on line 47.<br><br>this is the error i get under admin > site building > views btw.<br><br>it seems that i can still use these modules even with the warning. however, what is this about and how do i fix this? google seems to indicate that it might be a change in how newer php handles arrays?<br>
<br>so, i'm not sure if there is an issue with how or where i placed the modules, my version of php, or drupal or just the module. if it is the module, can someone offer suggestions to a good alternative?<br><br><br>
