When installing Drupal 6.17, I got some errors as below:
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in /var/www/drupal/includes/file.inc on line 926
It seems that there is not a good way to resolve this via google.com, but that I have a an method.
Add a "@" before the ereg(), the code of line 926 as below, be aware of the red.
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && @ereg($mask, $file)) {
Then the installation runs well!
