I am installing Drupal 6.14 using WAMP on a Windows Vista machine and following the instructions in the Lynda.com Drupal Essential Training Release Date 8/08

I have followed the steps several times and even went to the effort of uninstalling WAMP (from my previous lessons on Joomla) and then reinstalling it.

Specifications in WAMP indicate that I am using localhost SQL Server version 5.1.36, Apache 2.2.11 PHP/5.2.0, phpMyAdmin Version 3.2.01

I took the following actions:
1. Opened PhpMyAdmin and created drupal database - successful
2. Downloaded Drupal 6.14 to mydownloads
3. Opened with WinZip
4. Extracted files to a folder in mydownloads named Drupal-6.14
5. Opened C:\wamp\www folder
6. Deleted Index.php file - folder is empty
7. Selected 22 items from drupal-6.14 folder - 7 folders and 15 files and copied
8. Pasted 22 items into C:\wamp\www folder
9. Returned to web browser and removed phpmyadmin leaving only localhost, pressed enter.

That opened a browser with multiple lines of the following message:

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\includes\file.inc on line 902

At the bottom of the screen (after what appears to be several hundred lines of the above message, there was the drupal screen. I selected English language and had the same instance of several hundred lines of the message above before displaying the instructions to create the settings.php file.

Each time I had the same several hundred messages coming across. I finally did get through to the point that I had the new site set up. I am wondering how many other issues like this I may run into.

Thanks,
Don
