Installing Drupal

I have old web pages that I'd like to import into Drupal. Pasting the HTML in as a new node is easy enough but what I'd like to do is retain the time/date that the original page was last edited and have that as the creation date of the new node. Is it sufficient to manually tweak the `created column', and (possibly) the `changed' column in the nodes table? I.e.:

UPDATE NODE SET created = creationtime WHERE nid = whatever;

Or is there a gotcha that I'm forgetting or don't know about? (Being pretty new to Drupal makes the latter highly probable. :-) )

TIA

I'm trying to install on 2k and I can't get the first page to come up. I get the message:

Fatal error: Table 'drupal.variable' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM variable in C:\www\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 90

PHP 4.3.3
SQL 4.0.15
Apache 2.0.47

I had problems building the database but made it past that step. All seems to be well, sql, php and apache. I should be seeing the site when I browse to http://localhost/. I'm sure I crossed my hands somewhere but I cannot find it.

Any ideas?

Please help me.
is there a form to insert the images in the blog?
I have installed image.module, but I have not understend whether to correctly install
ImageMagick.
I have win2000 and IIS
it doesn't serve me elaborate, manipulate or created Thumbnails automaticaly them, but simply upload image in blog.

this is te error:
warning: rename() failed (No such file or directory) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\drupal\modules\image.module on line 696.
Cannot save image.

Get this:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12 bytes) in /var/.../blog/modules/search.module on line 273
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

I have a very long story... Is there a link between this story and the error message? How could I bypass this error without modifying my php.ini?

I have been using 4.2 for some time with the image module. The quota on my account is 600 megs and I have used ~25 megs so far. Without any changes that I can recally being made I now receive the following error when trying to upload an image.

"Upload directory is full."

I can upload files to the directory with FTP, so what is going on to cause this error?

Thanks

So my webhost decided to screw up mysql database. So i dropped all the tables and inserted the new onces from file (standard database.mysql). But now when I try to login to my site i get the "You are not authorized to access this page." error the same when trying to register a new account.

Any solutions? Couldn't find anything in the docs or the site search. But maybe i;m blind |)
