Drupal 7.x

Is it possible to have comments promoted to the Front page? I noticed that forum topics can be promoted, but I can't figure out how to promote comments to the front page. Thanks.

I'm confused about what the Edit terms in [vocabulary] taxonomy permission does. I thought it would limit a user's access to a vocabulary but I've run the following tests and that has not been the result.

Here are the steps taken:
Go to People > Permissions > Taxonomy
Tick Edit terms in [Category] for role News Editor
Tick Delete terms in [Category] for role News Editor
Save Permissions
Logout
Login as News Editor
Click Structure in toolbar > Receive message: You do not have any administrative items.

Hello,

I'm maintaining my Drupal website (www.fxseedtrading.com) since 2 years and although i have basic skills in php, i never had such a big problem.

My site was running fine in French/English with version 6.19.
I upgraded to d7b2 then d7b3 : it was an error for me because lot of modules (i18 for exemple) are not ready to d7 and i don't have enough php/html skills to do what i want for my site. Under d7b3 my site was running fine, although with less functions.

The real trouble began when i upgraded from d7b3 to d7rc1. I used the same was as usual and followed upgrade.txt. When i ran update.php, instead of an update page i got locked on an install page! I stopped there and looked my htaccess config, settings.php.... Instead of resolving the install/upgrade problem i now have errors in database.... and site definetely out...

Now i'm here and when i connect to my site www.fxseedtrading.com with/without the update.php i have a page with these errors.

* Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in Database::parseConnectionInfo() (line 1368 of /homez.194/fxseedtr/www/includes/database/database.inc).

Hi all,
I am brand new with Drupal, i use the tutorial of Todd Tomlinson which appears pretty good.
I just finished the install procedure on my Ubuntu PC running MYSQL and Aapache and it works.
The first action, creating a simple page, went OK. But then creating an article with an image gives a problem.
At first, the image was not uploaded at all. Becase the image wasn't too big, I figured out that something elese was wrong and I channged the permission for the default/directory to rwxr-xr-x, so that the user can write into the directory.

I am about to develop a website for my client. I just need to know if it's ok to go with Drupal 7 rc1. Or should I still stick with Drupal 6 until the final release of D7??

Using the install walkthrough rather than directly editing the settings.php file, the procedure gets hung up. I've reopened an existing bug #873114: PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000] when installing Drupal. Here's the text of the error I'm encountering:
