Installing Drupal

So I disabled the login box and wonder how to log in now! I hope there is a way =)

I've installed Drupal, managed to put everything working, created my first user. The problem is that when I try to access "Administer Drupal", I get a blank page with "You are not authorized to access this page.". I've double checked the configuration, PHP and Apache configuration files, but with no luck. Running on Windows 2000, with Apache 2.0.44, PHP 4.3.1 and MySQL 3.23.55
What might be the problem?

Hi there,

I already saw some threads about changing the *GUI* language of drupal, but I am after his: is there a "best practice" to develop multi-lingual websites with drupal, i.e., the *content* of the sites itself shall be available in, e.g., English, German and French.

I'm looking for those lovely flag symbols or links ("English | French | German") which users/visitors can click on so, from then on, all the pages (=the content) are in the language they have chosen.

So I finally managed to upload my new site and database with minor difficulties.

I have no working mailserver on my server, but is it possible to select another smtp server? Maby configure some file? I can't find it... :/

Ping.module currently activates and pings sites when the cron jobs are run. I have my current cron set to run only once an hour. I am wondering if there is a way to ping other sites whenever a blog entry is added instead of during the cron run. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!
