Import (not integrate) phpbb posts

Hi,

I am looking at moving a web site that is entirely based around phpbb2, to Drupal, and would like to import thousands of posts into Drupal 6 forums. It would make sense if I could create users in Drupal from the phpbb users, to help continuity. This would be a one-time, one-way operation, with no need to integrate the running site with phpbb.

I did a quick search, but didn't turn anything up. Does anyone have any advice as how to tackle this?

Thanks,

Mike.

do not allow user to post entries to own blog

I would like each user to have their own blog, but i do not want them to be able to post or edit anything in their blog. I, as the administrator want to be the only one to be able to do this. The users should only be able to view their blog. I cannot figure out how to configure this. any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jamie

Drupal 6.1 fixing security issues released

Drupal 6.1, a maintenance release that fixes problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as security vulnerabilities is now available for download. The security issues identified were in code new to Drupal 6, and are therefore not applicable to sites running on Drupal 5.

Upgrading your existing Drupal 6 sites is strongly recommended. There are no new features in this release. For more information about the Drupal 6.x release series, consult the Drupal 6.0 release announcement.

Mysql warnings: SELECT vid , duplicate key, etc

Hello,

I successfully upgraded from 4.7.6 to 4.7.11 to 5.0 then to 5.7. Then I decide to upgrade from 5.7 to 6.0.

When I did the update.php proper, I got a page saying register globals had to be disabled. So I searched this website and found out I had to add this to .htaccess: AddType x-mapp-php5 .ph.

I did this (I knew it worked cause I used it on a previous upgrade).

Then instead of clicking on the "continue button" I reloaded the page so the modified .htacesss file would be taken into account. Was that a mistake?

Then I got a lot of mysql warnings, and I thought perhaps reloading was the cause, so I ran update.php again (I've read you shouldn't do that but I didn't know what to do).

I got no error warnings, just the update button, so I cliked on it.

Then I got a lots of warnings. Here they are:

* user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SELECT vid FROM node n WHERE t.nid = n.nid)' at line 1 query: UPDATE term_node t SET vid = (SELECT vid FROM node n WHERE t.nid = n.nid) in /homepages/xxx/htdocs/modules/system/system.install on line 1154.

Cannot index search

Hi all.

on my site, I cannot seem to build the search index. If I run cron (or set up a cron job), it times out. (If I disable the search module, it succeeds.)

I have changed search settings to only index 10 nodes at a time (and gone as a hight as 5 letters minimum), but I consistently fail at node 3.

What is node 3? A forum topic with 126 pages of comments.

I also tried commandline (php -q cron.php) but this also ran out of memory and looking at the database, only the first two nodes are indexed.
