Drupal 7.x

Hi, I have posted a forum at me site and people have registered to the site to post their comment. The problem is with my email system. I do not know how long it takes for the users to receive their confirmation mgs and log back on the site. Also how do i let them sign up on the site with their user name and password without going through any hustle. Thanks and counting on you guys....kinda new to drupal as well as learning on my own.

I have a fresh install of Drupal 7. I installed it on a Ubuntu Linux 101.10 server.

I also uploaded the module secure pages and secure login.
I installed an SSL certificate however every time I activate secure login my website crashes. I am not sure what is going on.

How do I set up SSL for Drupal 7. I read somewhere I need to edit the .htaccess however I am not sure why I would need to do such a thing. It is very unclear.

I installed ubercart to drupal7 and I am getting this error, "Notice: Undefined index: block_callback in uc_store_admin() (line 37 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal7\modules\ubercart\uc_store\uc_store.admin.inc)". what do I need to do to fix it.

My webhost is GoDaddy and they allow you to create your own php.ini file.

I made a file called test.php which runs php.info() so I can check the phpsettings. I just run www.mydrupal7site.com/test.php.
I placed the php.ini folder right in the main drupal site directory.

My drupal site is not sitting in the main directory of my host, but there is no php.ini file in the main directory so drupal should read from the drupal sites directory next..

So this is going to a strange one. This is for a schools website. I want to use drupal for the main page and default theme, however i also still want to use html files with it. Bascially our students will make a website in html and they will post it on our site. I know its possible. However if I have a post a seperate html file in site1.com's directory i get something like. http://www.site.com/sites/site1.com/htmlfiles.html

I rather have

I have installed a stable copy of Drupal 7.0 with several additional modules: Dates (2.0 alpha 1), Views (3.0 alpha 1), Groups, Search (1.0 beta 7), Entity (1.0 beta 7), Rules 2 (2.0 alpha 5), Secure login (1.2), Chaos tools (1.0 alpha 3).

I have started to create very simple content: static pages and have connected them as nodes to 2 different menu items: in the "main" menu and the "user" menu, using aliases.
