Set $base_url to match the address to your Drupal site:


     $base_url = "http://www.example.com";


this should be changed to 


$base_url = "/drupal";


or at least not "localhost/drupal";

I assume this issue is referring to instructions in the INSTALL.txt file
that comes with the Drupal installation 


Actually, I thought the $base_url variable is supposed to be full URL
(without the trailing slash).  Eg. "http://localhost/drupal" or
"http://www.example.com/mydrupalsubdir".

Base URL should be a full URL with http:// (or https:// if you use
that). We are not going to change our advice, since it will not work
otherwise.
