Installing Drupal

I am currently using postnuke, but to make it work the want, i had to modify a lot of the core files so its almost impossible to upgrade. I spend too much time fixing bugs and still the whole site is pretty insecure, the language files are a mess and its just difficult to maintain.
Then i came acros drupal and it seems to do exactly what i need, but there are still some features missing and i don't want to start coding modules that already exist.
My website has many tutorials/tips/faqs, all in categories, subcategories,.. a tree structure up to 5 levels deep in some cases. Now i want to do the same using drupal, i think it would be best to use stories for tips/short tutorials and books for tutorials with multiple pages. I'm still looking for a way to create the tree structure, is there an existing module that does this?

I also want to use bbcode to format the article, imho this is a lot more secure and it allows me to invent new tags and its a lot easier to convert to the current html standard (html4 or xhtml for example). So again, the question is, does this exist already?

Less important, i want only certain users to create a blog, is it possible to only allow one group to do this?

Hi all
I'm about to put my drupal-powered blog online, but there still is one problem i can't solve :
I use the weblinks module to have a "links" link in the header.
When I click on this link, I've got the "Weblink directory", which doesn't show the real structure of the vocabulary i set up: it shows every term as a child of every root term. Well, here's an example to make it clear:
suppose that i have three "main" terms in my vocabulary, say TERM1 and TERM2. Let's also say that term1.1 is a child of TERM1.
Then, the weblink directory shows something like :

I tried to install drupal powered site on my provider's web (Apache,PHP,MySQL). I found out that there is PHP directive 'magic_quotes_gpc' that is set to '1'. When I load my drupal site I get this msg:

Note that the value of PHP's configuration option magic_quotes_gpc is incorrect. It should be set to '0' for Drupal to work properly. Either configure your webserver to support .htaccess files so Drupal's .htaccess file can set it to the proper value, or edit your php.ini file directly. This message will automatically dissapear when the problem has been fixed.

Just not my night for installing modules I quess.

Just installed the Mail Handler and got the follwoing when I try to retrieve mail:

Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home/iups/public_html/drupal/drupal-4.1.0/modules/mailhandler.module on line 13

I just installed the taxonomy_dhtml module and get the follwoing parse error:

parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/mydirectory/drupal-4.1.0/modules/taxonomy_dhtml.module on line 58

Have I missed something in the install?

By the way, great work on all of Drupal, killer state of the art knowledge tools. Hope I can help out once I get my Drupal legs.

I'm using Drupal-4.1.0 and postgresql-server-7.3.2-5mdk on Mandrake Linux 9.1 but I can't connect to my database. My conf.php's important entries are:

$db_url = "pgsql://admin:password@localhost/drupal";
ini_set("include_path", '.:/usr/share/pear/');

But why is it that I can connect to my drupal database using the CLI:

$ psql -U admin drupal

What could be the problem? Drupal's site doesn't have a good documentation for PostgreSQL and I hope anyone could clarify this problem that I encountered.

Thank you in advance.
