Before you start

I have installed phplist and configured the confi.php as given in instructions. i am using PHP-5 and apache2 server ..when I go to 192.168.1.100/lists/admin some coding part appears below which the main page appears(not in good format). still I can login and test for sending mails. But it looks like a heck to me, as there is a plenty of coding above. So please anybody of u know the solution to problem.. Pls do reply...its urgent

So what is the conensus today when choosing Drupal? Does it make more sense to install 5 or 6 if we were to do it today?

Okay, a search for "single sourcing" and "conditional text" did not return the answers I'm seeking. So, good people, here's the scenario...

We have an established web application. It is supported by a knowledgebase that is complete rubbish. We want to blow away the old knowledgebase and create a new one with Drupal.

I was wondering if there's a way so I can integrate my current website while using the phpbb3 database and login info.

I don't want to change my site much. Only thing I want to do is allow comments for logged in users under my joke pages but not change the rest of the site. For a feel of the site although it needs a lot of work and I'm changing it a little bit it's http://www.jokemaster.org

Before I do any major changes to it I'm working on a version of it on my pc testing things out seeing what works/doesn't work.

I've been toying around with drupal for the last two days, and althgough impressed by its capabilities, I'm still unsure whether it is the right content management system for my agency's website.

My agency's website will have these following sections:
+front page (most recent news/pictures(from the picture gallery)
+news (no comments)
+articles (blogish post but without comments)
+picture gallery
+flv gallery
+portfolio
+agency's members
+and some search, rss, contact forms, about us etc

From my understanding, the view module is going to let me build the front page, and all the pages that assemble a list of the most recent entries etc. I also understood that the view module let's you assign a template per 'view' so I'm not too worries about that.

Both for the flv and picture gallery there are plugins. (is there a way, module or something that can make a screen cap of an flv file you upload?)

Everything seems quite straight forward, however, I can't seem to see how I could make the portfolio section, and the agency's member section. I have two problems. I'd like to be able to filter through my projects (print, web, cd-rom etc), and assign members who worked on the project. Vice versa, I'd like to be able, from a member's page, to see the 3~5 latest project he/she worked on.

mysql (xampp) is not running on my system. what is the way out pls.
