Before you start

I run a gaming clan have been using a crappy CMS for a long time and im looking at building a new site and using drupal. I see there are alot of functions with this cms but im concerned about how it will work for me.

I am planning to setup a creative vertical site where there is one admin who has control over all the content and multiple users who all have access to their own section of the site predefined at the time of registering.

Their pages will start as www.site.com/username

The user will be able to create their own pages which includes their profile and a photo gallery which would showcase their portfolio.

Can I manage this through Drupal or do I need another CMS?

Any help is welcome.

#145 - Table '.\calasia\cache' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

please help...

What is it mean????

We are replacing a set of poorly-structured asp scripts with a more principled solution leading eventually with a full MLE solution. Drupal is a strong candidate for running this.

We need to fetch data (student details) from an SQL server on another host, and format it using templates.

Since Drupal uses mwsql already to store content, this should be relatively easy? I cant see much that's relevant from searching the site.

Am I completely insane to consider this? or is it easy?

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.

Hey, I'm thinking of two things:

1) Upgrading a site from 4.7 to 5.0

2) Adding an email listserv to the site.

Has anybody got an email listserv working with Drupal 5.0? I didn't see any modules in the module list.

What's your favorite email listserv for 4.7?

Thanks!

Hi all.
I have found around this site and the groups site, in books, etc., plenty of documentation on how to configure a Drupal multisite set-up.
My question is, nowhere can I find a discussion of the pros and cons.
I can understand that a single code base is easier to upgrade and manage for several sites.
But in a system I am installing now for a customer, there are going to be three sites (a main site and two subdomain sites, each one dedicated to a different user base of the same company) but each site will have a different mix of themes and modules.
