Installing Drupal

How the heck do I install the civicspace themes. I didn't see anything in the documentation.

Hi,

I'm just installing Drupal 4.6 and am having problems getting the 'modules' page to load in the administration area. I have tried isolating the problem and have it working with the following modules:

I have installed a fully functional drupal site, and activated the forum module.

I have created two forum containers, each with their own forum. Posting a new topic into these forums is successful, but when viewing the forum, no posts are found. The content exists and can be found by browsing all content, and indeed the XML feed generated from the forum is also successful in finding all topics posted on the forum.

Hi,

I installed the Private Message module, but I get totally empty pages when I click 'View inbox (0)' and other links the module creates.

Private Message is currently only CVS. Is anyone still working on this module? Will it be a regular, working Drupal module soon?

Over the past months, I've gained some experience in setting up Drupal websites. I have some knowledge of php and mysql, but I generally don't go around tweaking modules too much.

I now have a few installations running, and I've started to look into multi-site installations to save space and especially ease the configuration and administration load on yours truly.

I'm working with several hosts, all of whom offer myphpadmin and ftp access. So far, this has allowed me to do everything I needed.

This is what I've tried to do:

• Install Drupal into http://www.website.com/drupal (eventually, this could become http://www.website.com, but for now the existing, non-drupal homepage should stay online) - check
• Create the necessary directories in the 'sites' directory. Examples of things I've tried: 1) http://multi1.website.com, 2) http://www.website.com/drupal/multi2, 3) http://www.website.com/multi3.
  1. Redirected http://www.multi1.website.com to http://www.website.com/drupal - this doesn't work, it just displays the default drupal config.
  2. This doesn't work either, as this directory doesn't exist. Creating it and making it redirect to http://www.website.com/drupal doesn't work either - it just displays the default config again.
  3. Same as for 2 - doesn't work.

Ofcourse I researched this problem, and somewhere I read something about 'symlinks' or something like it. I got as far as understanding that it has to do with shell access and making a directory redirect to another directory (after which it could be deleted, if I recall the description correctly). This redirect would be quite different from the html redirects which I've used. So, this I get. But the problem is, I don't have shell access!

So my question is the following: can you set up a multi-site installation similar to what I described above, without shell access to the server?

I think I could probably get this to work if I registered different domain names for each multi site, but that doesn't fit the requirements of my project (and it costs extra money as well).
