Before you start

I'm trying to develop the process for installing drupal-5.0. I'm having issues moving files after uploading and unpacking drupal-5.0.tar/gz

I open my shell client "PuTTY", login, and get to the directory just below public_html. (I'm not sure what the name of this directory.)

I unpack drupal-5.0.tar.gz

This is the place I'm having issues. I need to move the contents of drupal-5.0 into public_html I tried: mv drupal-x.x/* drupal-x.x/.htaccess /var/www/html per INSTALL.txt, exchanging x.x to 5.0 and html to public_html

Hi. I currently do stuff for a popular video game blog in the UK, and we're thinking of expanding from Wordpress to a full blown CMS. Flashy. Normally you'd expect a site to go for a gaming centric one, but they are very based around the idea of a full, normal gaming site. Cubed3/Eurogamer style. What we're looking for, is something half way there.

I would like to explore setting up two related sites sharing the same database with shared tables (prefixed) for the following:

• all content nodes
• modules
• user details

but different -

• menu settings
• themes
• user interface
• site settings (variables table)

what tables should be set as shared and what should be set as unique per site?

Hi everyone,

I am currently planning on building a network of sites, all using sub-domain names off the primary domain name. Each of the sites will be primarily used for blogging. There are potentially hundreds of these sites that will have to be maintained, and I am looking for a blogging/CMS package that can scale to handle a very large number of sites and visitors. Primarily, I would like it to be:

In particular, do these instructions from Dreamhost on how to install Drupal still usable?

I am looking at Drupal to use for a website I wish to create. I will be adding reviews on Tarot decks and books that visitors will be able to comment on. That I know Drupal can do. I would also like to take a poll on each "deck" or "book" so would want the poll to be attached to the article. Is that possible?

TIA for any help in this.
