Installing Drupal

Hello,

I'm currently working on drupal for m fieldhockey club.
We want to put our mothly magazine on the site. But before I can do that I need a stricter authorisation on only this section.

Can anyone point me to information how to do this or how this can be done!?

I basically have the same issue with the forum.
There I need a public section, a mebers only sectionand possibly a restriction on user account.

Any help or directions are welcome.

Kind regards,
Pim

I just spent the last 3 hours chasing my tail trying to figure out a install problem I was having with Drupal:

Symptom
When logging into Drupal for the VERY FIRST TIME (read, fresh install), the standard e-mail fails with the following error message:

"SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay.."

This causes drupal to provide a temporary password within the same screen (rather than mailing it out) - when you try to navigate away from the screen there are missing menus (specifically the entire admin tree). Anyway, to solve the problem here is what I did to enable SMTP Relaying on my test machine:

1) Go to: start > settings > control panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services
2) Expand the " (local computer)" node
3) Right click on your SMTP server > go to "Properties"
4) Click "Access" tab
5) Under Relay Restrictions, click the "Relay" button
6) Click "Add"
7) Select "Single Computer" and enter IP address 127.0.0.1
8) Hit OK, OK, OK (until the properties dialog is closed)

At this point it should work, but just to be extra sure, create a php page called SMTPtest.php and drop in the following code:

----------------

<?
$to = "youremailaddress@domian.com";
$subject = "test from localhost";
$msg = "I completely understand SMTP servers now!";
$headers = "From: localhost@localhost.com\nReply-To: localhost@localhost.com";

I have installed Drupal before and it worked fine.

Now that I isntalled Drupal on a subdomain, I get to the page to create the first account, I click on Create First Account, and I get to the page:

http://subdomain.domain.com//?q=user/register

I am wondering why there are 2 diagonals in the URL.
Then, when I type the name and email, I get to this URL:

http://localhost/?q=user/register

Hi...

I installed drupal-4.6.3 over Apache, and win32. But I have a terrible problems becouse I can't login like the first account which is administrator account.

This account is created in database but I can't login like my first account in my drupal sites.

I don't have this problems when I install drupal over Linux. I don't know what the problems is.

Currently, Drupal is installed in www.billabona.com and I haven't created any account, you can create the first account and test my problems.

Hi all - I just installed drupal 4.6.3 at D:\www\apache 2\htdocs and I can't seem to make it find any new modules or themes to save my life. do I need to edit the bootstrap.ins or the system.module file to get things working?

Hi,

I'm a newbe and I try unsuccessfully to install a drupal on my site.

My drupal is installed on (~/public_html/drupal/).
During configuration of settings.php I changed two lines of code:

$db_url = 'mysql://myuser:mypassword@localhost/database';
to
$db_url='mysql://myuser:mypassword@localhost/drupal/database';

then
$base_url = 'http://www.mysite.com/drupal';
