Installing Drupal

I have setup around 40 news feeds on my install and have around 400 more to configure. But here is my worry the news feed page does not subdivide. I had thought that via the configuration manager where we defined Site config -> Modules -> Import. I have the Items per block set at 15 and Items per page set at 20 my thought was that there would be an additional page for each 20 feeds.

With having 40 some feeds on one page this is too much. Has anyone figured out a work around?

my drupal install http://adrian.newyew.net seems to like creating empty comment postings when my site is being browsed. it is totally random as well.

i thought that i would try forcing users to preview their postings might curb the empty posts, but its not working.

ps. its not a matter of comments by unwelcomed visitors. the site would archive blank comments under my user id as well.

any ideas?

thank you.

I have read throught the documentation and the install itself is straight forward. Being I do not have shell access on my shared host then it is obviously not as easy. With the mysql database being hosted on a seperate server I have yet to find a way to re-direct or even create the database structure. Expermentation continues but any suggestions from anyone having installed on a shared host and having to access mysql from the standard web based administration panel would be welcome information.

I am running my drupal site on W2k/IIS server. Encountered two cases where I got an error message "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at xxxxxxxx". And sometimes my server hung up.

1. I added a Chinese language option according to the document. When I set default language to Chinese, and click on ANY help link on page. I got the above error. Change default language to English, no error occurs.

2. When adding terms to vocabulary, got the error everytimes.

Anybody can give me a clue?

Hello, I am a Drupal newbie and just finished my first install. When i go to base URL and login, I can login and administer and set and save all the options.

The problem is the User Modules aren't working. I have checked off every single module (there are about 30-40 of them) but when I go into User Permissions, I only have 6 options:

access administration pages
administer site configuration
administer users
administer watchdog
bypass input data check
create php content

My webhost uses the localhost/admin directory for the online admin tools for hosting.

Is it possible to change the URLs in the Administration area, so the admin/ directory isn't used?

When I click on modules in the admin section, my webhost attempts to open my webhost tools, which kinds of breaks Drupal.

I tried moving drupal to /drupal, so that admin would be drupal/admin, but that didn't work.

I can't actually see an /admin directory, so I'm not sure how to edit it.

I searched for this on the site, but I couldn't find anything.
