Before you start

I am to superior whether I to Drupal to change am.

For this decision it would be very important for me to experience whether it is possible with Drupal a similar layout as on the following pages to realize.

With these sides the prime data area is so conceived that a scrollen only in this possible is if contents is longer. All other ranges remain constantly indicated.

i recently managed to get the multi-site one codebase to work properly. i am now considering of having a single sign on. however, i note that single sign on will work on a single database instead of multi database. hence i would like to understand how best to configure a single database for multi-sites but single sign on.

also, would like to know the downsides of a single database for multi sites. any views with regards to how many sites can a single database cope with (assuming traffic of 50posts per day for each site).

- I'm going to create an auto insurance site for a buddy of mine, and I figured this was a good learning opportunity to get a handle on Drupal for the first time. I installed from Fantastico to a folder called drupal, rather than installing to the root. Is that smart? Can I control/create pages throughout the site all from this area? I installed to the root the first time with Fantastico, and, or course , the drupal log in page became his home page.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the world of Drupal so please go easy if this is a stupid question ;)

I'm considering Drupal as a replacement for our current company website. We perform environmental testing for gas stations and make the results available online as PDF forms. I want to use Drupal to turn the site into something that will actually bring in customers but we can't lose this main functionality. What I need to know is that we can set content to be viewable only by certain users and that we can attach documents to our posts that are similarly protected. Is this possible with Drupal?

Hello,
I am trying to get my mac ready for drupal, but I am a bit stuck on the PHP part. I think I have sucessfully downloaded and installed MySQL, but I am very confused about the best way to install the necessary version of PHP. Many how to and tutorial sites (and the visual quickstart book i checked out fromt he library) recommend using Mark Liyanage's installer at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/.. However, it seems that he is no longer providing support for Panther. The Visual Quickstart Guide has a graphic with a screen shot of Mark's site from a while ago, and it looks like once upon a time there was a PHP 5.0.0 for apache 1.3 installer designed for Panther, but now the options are different.

So, feeling confused about all of this, I decided to try to see if I already had PHP installed, and if so what version - I have heard that PHP is preinstalled with apache on some macs. So, I decided to try running the phpinfo.php script in my browser (http://localhost/phpinfo.php), but instead of running the script, the browser just displays the script [ phpinfo(); ]. I have also read that you can change some code in a file called httpd.conf file, but as I am a total Unix novice and not very familiar with using terminal, I have been very leary of this.

If anyone has advice or resources, I would be eternally grateful!!
Many thanks in advance,
