Cannot Logon to Drupal ("The website encountered an error while retrieving...") I am trying to get a new Drupal site running on Ubuntu 12.10.  I believe I have what is either an Apache or permissions error.  I can get to the main logon page for the site, but after entering my credentials, I get the following error.

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/node?destination=node. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.


I set my permissions using the following script, and my apache setup is below that.  Can anyone tell me where else to look?

!/bin/bash

FILES="/var/www/localdrupal/cms/sites/default/files"
SETTINGS="/var/www/localdrupal/cms/sites/default/settings.php"
SITES="/var/www/localdrupal/cms/sites"
DEFAULT="/var/www/localdrupal/cms/sites/default"
THEMES="/var/www/localdrupal/cms/sites/all/themes"
MODULES="/var/www/localdrupal/cms/sites/all/modules"
DSETTINGS="/var/www/localdrupal/cms/sites/default/default.settings.php"

# Paths for binary files
TAR="/bin/tar"
RM="/bin/rm"
CHOWN="/bin/chown"
FIND="/bin/find"
CHMOD="/bin/chmod"

# Change permissions to be secure

$CHOWN -R www-data:www-data ${SITES}
$CHMOD 775 ${SITES}
$CHMOD 775 ${FILES}
$CHMOD g+w -R ${FILES}
$CHMOD 440 ${SETTINGS}
$CHMOD 440 ${DSETTINGS}
$CHMOD 755 ${DEFAULT}
$CHMOD 755 -R ${THEMES}
$CHMOD 755 -R ${MODULES}


Apache:

    DocumentRoot /var/www/localdrupal/cms
    &lt;Directory /&gt;
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride  None
    &lt;/Directory&gt;

    &lt;Directory /var/www/localdrupal/cms/&gt;
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    &lt;/Directory&gt;
Check your setup.php, probably you should set the baseurl variable there, since your drupal root is not the default /var/www
