Installing Drupal

Hi,

I've installed Drupal just fine - I thought - I created a few new users and everything seemed fine (under Debian stable). I had to add a line to turn off magic quotes to the virtual server statement of httpd.conf, but that was it.

Then I realised that when copying the files in, I had left .htaccess behind and so copied it across. Now, with it I get a server error 500 for every page, without it Drupal seems fine.

Do I need it? Is there a security threat without it? What could be causing this?

Thanks for any ideas!

The problem sample:
When I translate "Home" to "主页", and "administer" to "管理", That's no problem.
But when I translate "new block" to "新区块". Then the chinese localization disappear!
I found it in table "cache" that s:9:"新区块\"; appear, that's problem the slash "\" redunantly!
But When I translate "new block" to "新建区块". The the problem disappear!
How can I do for this problem!
Thanks!

Hi,

I'm evaluating content management systems for my website, and one my requirements is that the selected system with our Oracle 9i database server. Drupal's features look promising but the database support may be an issue.

I'm interested in hearing from people who use Oracle as a repository for Drupal, particularly comments on scope of any customization or implementation work. I'm the only resource for this project and most of my time is allocated for other things. If integrating Drupal and Oracle is uncharted, or charted and a monumental task, please warn me now.

Whenever I post a node like a story, the taxanomy categories selected are not displayed. I have to manually administer the node to add them. Can anyone suggest why this is happening?

Also, what do I need to do for have notification of new "view submissions" awaiting to be approved? ie, the number awaiting or letters next to it saying 'new'.

Thanks in advance.

Is there an easy way to turn off the "Submitted by {author} on {date}" line for certain sites (e.g., about, contact, etc.). At news subsites, forum subsites, or blogs they are necessary but at contact subpages or about subpages (IMHO) they doesn't fit.

The "Submitted by" line seems to be hardcoded in most themes, e.g., in xtemplate it is in xtemplate.theme

function node($node, $main = 0) {...}

and xtemplate.xtmpl

Submitted by {author} on {date}.

When I create a cotent with "" quoted.
when submint a "\" redundatly appear.
I also found a "\" redundatly appear in the table cache. and so my language "zh--chinese" can't work.
Can someone help me about this!
Thanks!
