Installing Drupal

I've noticed that Drupal uses mysql_pconnect, and this creates a lot of sleeping threads. I can change the MySQL settings so that they will be garbage-collected more quickly, but I'd rather fix Drupal instead. Can I simply make Drupal's connect non-persistent? Or will this cause problems? Thanks!

I would like to change the defaults for the "Promote to front page" and the like (when making a new node). Is that possible and if so, could someone give me some pointers? (Willing to dig into PHP-code)

Has anyone seen the behaviour that when making a new node "Allow users comment" is set to "Disabled" but after submission it is set to "Read-write". (After an edit and setting that option to "Disabled", it stays "Disabled").

"Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /disk/www/vsites/mac/htdocs/includes/conf.php:62) in /disk/www/vsites/mac/htdocs/modules/user.module on line 5"

I got the register_globals issue fixed, but now I get this at the top of every page on the site. Suggestions? Looked through earlier forum entries but couldnt find anyone with this issue running UNIX.

(Solaris 9, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.2.3, everything compiled from scratch - no packages used)

Fatal error: Dynamically loaded extensions aren't allowed when running in SAFE MODE. in /home/sim/public_html/site/includes/xmlrpc.inc on line 44

any body help me?

Hi, was just wondering - in the past I could click on the CVS link, and then download the latest version of a module, but for some reason, I don't see that anymore. Is there a different way to get the latest CVS version of a module now? I am experiencing some trouble with the search.module and tracker.module, and would like to replace them with the latest version on my site, to see if it solves my problem.

Thanks
