Drupal 7.x

I've been playing with Beta 2 and I am failing to get Drupal to generate the correct headers to trigger a reverse proxy (such as Varnish) to cache pages.

Under Admin > Configuration > Performance, I have set the "Expiration of Cached Pages" at 10 minutes. Additionally, I have changed the settings.php options $conf['reverse_proxy'] to TRUE and I have even played with setting $conf['omit_vary_cookie'] to TRUE. I also have standard Drupal page caching turned on for anonymous users.

In all cases this is the header output I'm seeing:

function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  if (module_exists('path')) {
		$alias = drupal_get_path_alias(str_replace('/edit','',$_GET['q']));
		if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
			$suggestions = array();
			$template_filename = 'page';
			foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
				$template_filename = $template_filename . '--' . $path_part;
				$suggestions[] = $template_filename;
			}
			$vars['template_files'] = array_merge((array) $suggestions, $vars['template_files']);
		}
	}
}

I was wondering if there was anything that can be loaded while installing Drupal, things like premade pages etc so that it can be viewed all set up. Drupal does look a bit bare whaen it is first installed.

Any help or info would be great thanks.

Hi,
I'm fresh to drupal, especially to drupal 7. And I'm wondering how to build a dashboard just like drupal org did "Your Dashboard" in drupal 7 , which can be customize by user himself but not admin (add blocks etc).
I'v searched for "dashboard" , but result dashboard modules seems not match customized need and are not supported in drupal 7.
Any one could do me a favor to let me how to build a customized dashboard in drupal 7 , thanks a lot!!!

Hello-
I have a programming background and OK but not expert knowledge in HTML, CSS, jQuery, etc. I am trying to help my family's small company (on the opposite coast of the USA) with re-doing their website. They have no technical people, and I will not be available to them at all times. They have a good local web guy, but he has no background with Drupal. I am researching whether Drupal would be appropriate for them. An alternative they are looking at is a small local company that uses its own in-house CMS.
This company suggests that Drupal is a big piece of software, and that most companies that use it have a dedicated tech person to watch over it. To what extent is this true? If not necessarily true, what type of tech support would they need? Would my part-time help and the help of the good-local-web-guy-with-no-drupal-experience cut it for support of a small-company drupal web site? They will have full-time non-technical people looking over the website.

Hi All

I've tried to install modules using the functionality provided by drupal ( Modules -> Install new module, I've tried both methods )
When I do this I get a screen with

etc

What is going wrong here, is here an bug report somewhere ?
