Installing Drupal

Hi.

I'd like to not use .htaccess files and instead use my httpd.conf to configure my server.

Can i just copy the .htaccess file and paste it into the
[VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80]
[/VirtualHost] (angle brackets won't show)
block?

We have figured out how to set a static page as the default node, and figured out how to detect if the user has logged in or not. But we have not been able to figure out how to load a node, for example forums, from a static page. We suspect it's relatively trivial but we're stuck. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

1) If the user is not logged in display an introduction static-page.
2) if the user is logged in have the static-page display the forums.

global $user;
if ($user->uid)
{ 
  [load the forums]
}
else 
{ 
  [intro]
}

Hi,

Id like to show off some games I have made, however, Drupal is confusing me :-( You would think that someone who has made software himself would be able to figure it all out but Im stumped.

What Id like to do is have a link like "Games" and when the user clicks on it, it goes to a page that in the main part of the page it shows lets say 3 different "articles" (in the center) one for each game... Is this possible? How do I do this?

Thanks.

Hi - I've just installed the event module. I've enabled it and set it to the very top of the left column on my home page (view.rit.edu) but it doesn't seem to be showing up at all. I've already created an event. Anyone know what's up? I'm using the Trip theme. Thanks so much!

Hi,

I have been using drupal for a while now, very happy with too.

I'm installing Horde/Pear/Imp on the same server and that seems to need 'session.save_handler=file' in php4.ini (Debain Woody), if is set it to 'file' drupal stops working, I cannot login, if I set it to 'user' Horde stops.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Is there any way to separate the personal photo gallery available with image.module into separate albums? A full tree system would be nice but one level will do.

I'm pretty sure the gallery.module will do this, but that only seems to be available for 4.1.0, and I am already running 4.2.0.

And as a side question.. I tried searching for this, but didn't get any results. So then I tried searching for stuff that _has_ to get results and still got nothing. Is there something wrong with the search on this site?

Thanks for the time!
