Installing Drupal

I manually migrated all of my articles by using sql statements to import them into the node table. That part works fine. However, the search feature does not search through any of the old nodes, only the ones recently inserted into drupal via normal drupal channels.

How do I repopulate the search_index table? What else is involved? If there is no easy way to do it, I'll paypal someone $10 to write php/sql to do it.

Hello,
I am running a private website that I am thinking of moving to drupal in order to provide my members with more features. However, I have a few questions that I have not been able to find answers to browsing the site.

Firstly, can I set drupal up so an administrator must approve all new account creations? Secondly, could drupal create ftp accounts for users? I am going to be using apache for my ftp server, and I'd like to know if drupal will create ftp accounts to allow users to download the files once they have been registered and approved with drupal.

If drupal cannot do these things, can anyone recommend a good user management package to me that works with apache under debian? The package must:
-- set up an account that will allow users to access a given set of folders via http and ftp
-- allow moderators to approve all accounts created
-- store basic info about the users (name, email, etc)
-- check to make sure that the user has given a valid email address
--allow the user to update his user information (password, etc)

I'm sorry this became an extremely long post, I hope someone can help. I've been looking for this sort of thing for a while, but am not sure where or how to start looking, and thus haven't found anything that will do what I want. If you want more information, please feel free to email me at samuel@interfree.ca. Thanks in advance for any help!

This is the first time I haven't been able to find the answer to my question by searching. Argh.

I am using Drupal v. 4.2.0 on Linux on a shared hosting service, setting up image.module with GD. I have successfully set this up recently using the same version, same host, different account. It wasn't difficult, and I almost didn't even test it, as I didn't anticipate a problem.

When I attempt to create a new image, I get the following errors when I preview:

warning: move_uploaded_file(temp/tmpimg_bizcard_nophone.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/chutney/public_html/modules/image.module on line 462.

warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpcwD9uS' to 'temp/tmpimg_bizcard_nophone.jpg' in /home/chutney/public_html/modules/image.module on line 462. 

It looks like a permissions error, but my permissions are set up identical to my other site, and the image management screen doesn't display any errors. I have verified that php is not running in safe mode.

Has anyone else seen this?

Hi all,
I have successfully set-up multiple domains on a single server using Apaches vhost feature.

I have Drupal 4.2.0 successfully running on one of the domains but wish to use it on another domain on top of the same database (DB) because I guessed having only one DB running would be better performance but all my sites are low visitors anyways. htdocs = document root.

htdocs>domain1>index.php, error.php, cron.php etc etc
htdocs>domain1>database>
htdocs>domain1>includes>www.domain1.com.php (file named without www. as well as this is because told to do it in Drupal manual and also code below added:

$ ln -s includes/yourdomain.com.php
includes/www.yourdomain.com.php

$ ls -l includes/*.conf
-rw-rw-r-- 1 drupal drupal includes/yourdomain.com.php
lrwxrwxrrx 1 drupal drupal includes/www.yourdomain.com.php- includes/yourdomain.com.php

htdocs>domain1>misc>
htdocs>domain1>modules>
htdocs>domain1>scripts>
htdocs>domain1>themes>

htdocs>domain2>exact as above but changing domain where apropriate in the config filename and in the config itself

I now get a blank page on both domains. I have run down settings several times and looked around drupal.org site for FAQs or help and looked around net and forums but still no-one with the same problem as this.

I know one of you gurus out there probably has the answer and I would be much appreciated for yours or anyones help on this.

I'm using Drupal CVS with PostgreSQL and would like to set up a photo gallery. I want to use GD so I picked image opposed to gallery and I dont think that gallery works with CVS anyway. When I go to preview a photo before submission I am getting these errors:

warning: Unable to create './tmpimg_12-28-02 011.jpg': Permission denied in /home/augustwest/public_html/drupal/modules/image.module on line 453.

warning: Unable to move '/tmp/phpyyXq08' to './tmpimg_12-28-02 011.jpg' in /home/augustwest/public_html/drupal/modules/image.module on line 453.

Hi there,

I'm brand new with Drupal, and having some problems getting it to run properly. If I set $base_url in includes/conf.php to "http://localhost/drupal", all the links in the site set themselves up as, for example "http://localhost/drupal/
" and of course this does no good to anyone who isn't running it off my local box.
