Taxonomy problem...page not found

Okay, after upgrading I guess my taxonomy messed up. I have certain pages marked as "Members Only", but anybody can currently access them as anonymous. Now, when I go to check on the taxonomy stuff at ?q=taxonomy/term, I'm getting "Page not found". Any ideas?

Moving to php5 by editing .htaccess

I was pleasantly surprised to read here that all it takes to force drupal to use php5 is to change a bit of code in its .htaccess file. At least, this works on Site5.

This is very valuable for me as I have a few 4.7 sites on Site5 that I haven't been able to switch to my new host because they are running on php 4.x. I have a few questions, though. Would a recommended procedure be something like:

Database Connection

Hi everyone,

I have recently become aware of Drupal and just how good it is! I was planning on devloping my new football team's website using it so installed version 5.1 through my hosting provider on a hosting package that I already had and had a free database on so I could test drupal and develop it at a URL e.g. www.123.com. I then purchased a seperate hosting package with the same provider under the URL e.g. www.456.com.

I copied over the drupal folder and exported the drupal mysql database and renamed it e.g. 456. I then changed the settings.php file's database configuration to suit these changes and used a user with full privelages, but when I try to run that directory through a web browser I get "Unable to connect to database server" using username '789' with password YES. I have tested this user and it connecting to this database through my own script and it works fine.
The settings.php line in question reads:
$db_url = 'mysql://789:password{@localhost/456';

Could someone PLEASE help me to sort the drupal configuration out so that it will accept this newly named database with this user. Is there somewhere buried into the code that is looking for the old database, user or URL other than at this line in the settings.php file?

is this a bug in ecommerce?

/public_html/testsite/modules/ecommerce/contrib/auction/auction.module on line 543

Is this a bug or is it something i do wrong because i have no modules installed except auction and product from ecommerce.?

Thank you.

Page caching does not expire

After a recent upgrade from 4.7.6 to 5.0, then 5.1, some anonymous users report that their pages do not update when new content is uploaded by staffers. For example, the home page is displaying old page content to some anonymous users.

Views module is employed here, but this is a multi-site install of 11 newspaper sites, and nine of the eleven report no such problems.

Aggressive caching is not enabled, but normal caching is. Normal caching was enabled on 4.7 as well, and we never had these issues (at least they weren't reported).
