Before you start

I am not sure if drupal can achieve this - a small business site with 1. some pages about the company (portfolia, testimonials, services, about us, etc) and 2. a client login area for customers

i am concerned about no. 2

I've already installed Drupal on one of my sites and am in the process of setting it up on another, but because this problem has the potential of forcing me to "start over from scratch" I'm posting it here...

I decided to move from WordPress to Drupal because I was convinced that Drupal was a more robust platform for my sites, and I still am -- but I've run into a little snag.

Drupal 5's minimum recommended system requirements lists MySQL 4.1 as the lowest version of MySQL -- currently my provider uses 4.0.

Hello,

i want to get the following multisite enviroment.

my-domain.eu
de.my-domain.eu
en.my-domain.eu
(more sites/languages coming up later)

the main domain (my-domain.eu) should not be accessed directly, the user should be everytime on a subdomain (depending on his [choosen] language).

I got some content with title 'test-page' - this should be able to be accessed through than:

my-domain.eu/test-page (this will only redirect you to a subdomain depending on your language)
en.my-domain.eu/test-page (test-page with english content)
de.my-domain.eu/test-page (test-page with german content)

All 'sites' should have same users (and no need to relogin).

That is what I have to get. Any hints?

This should be working - but it`s not the best way :/

my-domain.eu (small php script thats redirect you to a subdomain depending on language)
de.my-domain.eu (on this subdomain there is a 'own' drupal system installed - sharing user/session data)
en.my-domain.eu (on this subdomain there is a 'own' drupal system installed - sharing user/session data)

But do you see any easier way to achieve that by only using 1 installation?
I tryed localizer and l18n both in combination with a multisite setup bot wasn`t sufficient.
I than got something like:

my-domain.eu (normal drupal isntall)

A easy way to publish a video is to upload the video at video.google.com or youtude.com and attach in your site
But which platform do you think is better to use?

Hi, I'm more and more inclined to give Drupal a try for a website I am planning. It is rather simple and I think Drupal would be an overkill. I would rather go with Slashcode but install / in a shared environment is a pain as it requires changes in the system.

My choice of Drupal would depend on the following:

1. discussions (for a story for example) I noticed are threaded. Is it possible to rank/score user comments (ala Slashcode)

How feasible is it to use drupal for what I need:
I want to be able to have users review books, first looking up the book using Amazon's E-Commerce service, then providing a review/rating the book. That way Amazon can pre-fill in the author etc and I can use Amazon Associates to make a "Purchase book" link on every review.

Thanks,
Zach
