Having problems installing Drupal? See the Installation Guide for more information.

searching profiles?

Hi, I might be missing something but is there a way to allow users to search through user profiles? If not, I'd be willing to code in the functionality...

thanks.

warning: open_basedir restriction in effect.

Hi, I just installed the project module 4.3 with drupal 4.3 and I get the following error at the top of all my pages.

warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /web/sites/../modules/project/project.module on line 10.

I have also installed the events module and I dont have any problems with this. Any ideas what it could be?

thanks.

Attempting to sign into database on 1&1 fails.

I was setting up a website for my girlfriend with the hosting service 1&1. Her first website, she was hoping to eventually build up an online forum of poets with critiquing of styles and forms. Happy to oblige, I thought she'd find Drupal fairly easy to manage.

I successfully created the database using:
mysql -h internalsub.perfora.net -u mydatabase -p mydatabase < database/database.mysql

Mailhandler fails with RH9

I recently moved my mail server off mdaemon (windows based) and onto a Linux (Red Hat 9) server. On the RH9 server I use Postfix and the standard POP3 daemon that is installed with the distribution. Mailhandler (on Drupal 4.2.0) worked fine with mdaemon, but it consistently fails to communicate with the POP3 daemon on RH9. However, a normal mail client is able to collect mail from an account on the same server with no problems. When I do a manual retrieve, drupal returns:

Wiki on 4.3.0 doesn't wiki

Hi.

I've searched, but without any luck. I did find http://drupal.org/node/view/3653 which I have updated with the information below:

I d/l the wiki-4.3.0.tar.gz from drupal, untar and copy to modules/

In Admin, Configuration, Modules. Select the wiki module and save.

In Admin, Configuration, Filters. Enable wiki markup.

Create a new static page, use standard _wiki_ MarkUp and everything is rendered as plain text.

[howto] hostname.domain.com goes to specific page

It is rather neat -once you have your own domain to have some subdomains for different purposes. A usefull subdomain might for example be downloads.example.com. Any user will understand what one can expect at such a domain.

Things like this can be done with drupal 4.3 in the core or in 4.2 with the path module. In that case you can point your users to example.com/downloads and this page drupal will rewrite towards the download page. The way of rewriting these domains is rather neat, but having subdomains might in certain case have a better image or be more usefull.

The site drupal.org uses the shortcut hostname.example.com as well. For example to the documentation place, http://documentation.drupal.org leads to http://www.drupal.org/node.php?id=253 (mhhh, we should use the new clean url here!).

So how can you use this service? What follows is a short howto.

    Say you own the domain example.com (rfc2606);
    Say you have a drupal page example.com/node/view/nid
    You want to have a shortcut to this page labelled nid.example.com

Now you have to do the following things:

1. Edit your DNS

2. Edit your .htaccess

Regarding 1), editing your DNS
