Are you running Linux or Windows?<br><br>
My understanding is that most Linux distributions access drupal via
"/var/www/" unless you have some links activated. On both
my Centos and OpenSUSE boxes the main html file index file is at
"/var/www/html/index.html" Wouldn't make sense to have it
under Apache2/htdocs on a Linux box..<br><font color="#888888"><br>

I tried to give all the permissions to all directories and files in order
to avoid any problems related to that but nothing.<br><br>
I've already noticed that I think even if the page says it's all ok when
I looked in the directory tree nothing changed and any directories or
files created....<br>
How is it should be? <br>
My Doc Root is /usr/local/apache2/htdocs and under this directory there
are all the files (and dir) downloaded from Drupal but I should find
under sites directory my website like
<a href="http://www.alfredo.com....am/" target="_blank">
www.alfredo.com....am</a> I right? But it's not there.<br><br>

<dd>Hi Maurice.<br>
</dd><dd>What I did is
</dd><dd>1)download the tar ball
</dd><dd>2) unzippped and put under my Apache2 web server doc root
</dd><dd>3) Install PHP and MySql and create DB and user then all the
settings.php permission
</dd><dd>4) Start the web server and point the web browser to
localhost/install.php and it asked questions about DB name, user and web
admin uder and then straight away it says succesful and start your web
site.
</dd><dd>5) Then I have the page like to start (live Admin, contents and so
on) but anythink I press in that page keeps bringing me to a default
index page you usually have when you install apache. <br>
</dd><dd>I tried a couple of time with Google Chrome then with Firefox but the
same thing happend. <br>
</dd><dd>Now as far as you know what should I expected under the doc root
after the Drupal installation? Anything under sites/default/files? <br>
</dd><dd>Thanks<br><br>

<dd>Hi Alfredo,<br>
</dd><dd>Your problem seems vaguely familiar, but I don't remember anymore
when
</dd><dd>I had it or what I did then.<br>
</dd><dd>I would guess that you didn't install drupal in the server root
</dd><dd>directory, but instead in a subdirectory (which should be perfectly
</dd><dd>possible). There must be something else which mixes up the links.
</dd><dd>Maybe you set an url in settings.php which is only necessary in very
</dd><dd>weird cases. If you did revert it.<br>
</dd><dd>Anyways, we need more info from you.<br>
</dd><dd>1) Can you log in at all?
</dd><dd>2)
<a href="http://exampledomain.com/admin" target="_blank">exampledomain.com/admin</a> or
<a href="http://exampledomain.com/subdir/admin" target="_blank">
exampledomain.com/subdir/admin</a> should
</dd><dd>get you to admin page (after logging in)
</dd><dd>3) can you tell where your (wrong) links are pointing?
</dd><dd>4) which server are you using?<br>
</dd><dd>best
