Installing Drupal

Hi all! Sorry to be such the n00b, but I've never worked with any database program before, including MySQL, and I'm having a bit of trouble at Step 3 of the Installation guide, "LOAD THE DRUPAL DATABASE SCHEME." The documentation says, "Once you have a database, you must load the required tables:
$ mysql -u nobody -p drupal < database/database.mysql"

hi

every now and then (usually when adding new feeds or when a syndicated newsfeed is down), my cron job wont run.

when i do a lynx manually i get

Looking up willy.boerland.com
willy.boerland.com
Making HTTP connection to willy.boerland.com
Sending HTTP request.
HTTP request sent; waiting for response.
Alert!: Unexpected network read error; connection aborted.
Can't Access `http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/thecronfile.php'
Alert!: Unable to access document.

nothing in the watchdog messages, nothing in the error log of apache.

when if update the pending newslink by hand (surfing towards admin page and select update) all feeds are syndicated without problems. from what i understand cron first goed to the cload (these are all in order) and then to the feed. somehow this doesnt make it.

any one able to help?

I made a drupal site.
After submitting a topic, users can't edit their own topic. I couldn't find 'edit forum topic' when I log in as a common user. I checked Permission configuration but I can't make it. Forum doesn't support editing permission for common users?

Do I have to modify forum.module? Let me know the solution.

Thanks~

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to sort nodes withing their taxonomy. Alphabetical sorting order prefered.

I tried to find any info on this but so far im unlucky :(

Any help or pointers would be great.

Hi,
in a similar thread about a spanish drupal translation, I read one should work together in order to achieve some results - which, I think, is a good thing !
I'd like to translate the script to luxembourgish. Anyhow, as I think I'm the only who needs that translation, I thought I'd start with a german translation, which I can also use.
Does anyone know if there's a german translation out there or if anyone has already started with a translation ? I can't find anything in the translations directory or the contributions cvs repository.

How much is involved in upgrading CVS to the current CVS and also from CVS to the final 4.3.0 when it arrives? I know that there is a an update.php script; what does it do and will I have to modify it to make it choose the correct database file since I'm using Postgres? Also, do I just copy the new Drupal that I download into the same place and overwrite the old files?
