Drupal 7.x

Hi everybody,

I am a complete Drupal Newbie. Although I managed to install it and play around with the system.
I went through a lot of "getting started" and some "documentations", but I couldn't find a point to get started with whats on my mind.

This is (in short), what I want to set up:
- a web portal for some small companies of the same type
- each company has similar structures
- each company should be able to organzie their work in a "database"

To realize my plans, I had a closer look on Drupal, as there are a lot of available modules, which look very promising.
As everybody guesses, I am not familar with php, html and mysql in any way. ;) But I am ready to learn everything necessary!

Now my questions:

(1) As I understand from reading the "HowTo's", the modules are extensions which bring certain possibilities to better develop the very own features. So a module doesn't have a UI out of the box, you still need to "code" the UI yourself as a feature and implement it in a new page. Did I get this right so far?

(2) There will be a lot of "databases/spreadsheets" needed. Do I have to set up a mysql-database for each company or do I need just a table or two for each company?

(3.0) How do I "talk" with the databases in general?
(3.1) For example: User xy likes to note, that he had done a job at a certain date at a specific location.

I'm installing the drupal 7.8 version and have the above error message. How can I fix this error and what does it means? Thank you in advance

Howdi!

I need to create a sort of scoreboard. So far I´ve come up with:
"Game" -> (Is a new content type).
Fields in "Game":
"Who won?": [list of all users on the site]
"Other notes:" [textarea]

Then I could just create a View to display this the way I want. However, I want to keep track of how many games each of users has won. Like this: "user1: 4 games won"
This means that each time a user is set as the winner, another value related to that user should increase by one.

Hello,

we've developed a new drupal7-project and want to distrubute now.
But everytime we move the site to the server, after immigrating the Database we get a 500 on each subsite, startpage works fine.
Im sure, thats some kind of routing error but i come to no solution.
Changing Base Href in Settings.php doesn't work. Is there any informations in the database we could change?

the server is from domain factory and a unix system. another drupal v6 project is already running there.

thanks for every kind of help,
tim
