Installing Drupal

I have a (probably silly) question concerning virtual hosts. I'm creating a series of sites which all use different databases. That part already works perfect and I'm beginning to love Drupal for not making me reinvent the wheel. But, the problem I'm encountering is dealing with paths. For example, with the image.module, you pick the images directory which is relative to the index.php of the Drupal application itself instead of some virtual root. With the suggested documentation, you have Apache's virtual configuration point to the same site for each site.

I finally figured out a way to bring my postnuke content over to drupal.. over 400 posts. But now, when I try to post a new blog entry, it's giving me "user error: Duplicate entry '8' for key 1" Seems like it's trying to put the entry into position 8 instead of after the last entry (it should be going into position 414)

Is there a way to tell it to start at 414 now instead of 8 (which is where it was before I imported the posts)

I installed Drupal, but I would need some more detailled Tutorial, than the Documentation on this website. I could create some pages and they are visible in the main navigation block, but I don't know how to deal with Taxonomy, how to link the pages between each other...Is there a very basic Tutorial about using Drupal somewhere? Thank you very much!

I recently installed Drupal 4.3.1 and Projects 4.3.0. I can create projects but I cannot submit anything to a project (Task, Bug Report, Feature Request, etc). I get the following error:

Could not open the page “http://arch.doit.wisc.edu/drupal/?q=node/add/project_issue&project=d2L_w...” because Safari could not load any data for this location

We are running Apache 1.3.27, MySQL 3.23.53

A few days ago, I installed drupal on my web server for the first time in a long time and had a hell of a time getting the php variables read. Eventually I figured out it was an Apache2 issue. The answer to my particular problem was contained in a comment to the following post: http://drupal.org/node/view/4395.

"Don't use IfModule mod_php4.c when using Apache 2." Thanks to markb.

I just installed 4.3.1 and I hink I have done everything right but I get a home page that lets me create a new account but nothing else.

I can create accounts but whenever I log on or even just go to the home page it gives me a page that says "Access denied", "you are not authorized to access this page"

Can anyone please help. I've checked and double checked everything I can think of.

thanks
