Post installation

I know there are some newsletter modules (such as simplenews) which can send mass emails. However, these newsletter modules require user subscription.

Some of my registered users may not subscribe to newsletter, but I need to send email to all users who ever registered on my site. So, I am wandering whether there is such kind of module to do this. Thanks for your help.

I have successfully loaded and configured one drupal based site using and XAMPP sandbox on a Windows XP machine. I have uploaded it to the linus public server and everything works well.
I have now started on another site, created the database in phpMyAdmin, set up root username and setup a password.

I have setup the following string in my setup.php file;
mysql://root:'mypassword'@localhost/drupal-5.1/rts/rts
The first 'rts' is the home directory of the new site and the second rts is the name of the database for the site.
Now when I try to get access to phpMyAdmin I get an access denied message;

'phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.'
I have modified the config.inc.php to include my username and password, I have checked that WinmysqlAdmin panel as the correct username and password in the setup.ini panel, though I never had to touch this or config.inc.php in my first installation.

I have uninstalled xampp and reinstalled it about 9 times now and still I get Access Denied. I use it initially to create the database.
My site is all ready to be uploaded to the server but I cannot create my backup sql file before doing that.

Howdy. I am running a site that is aggregating a number of feeds for display on our site (all legal and above board, by the way) and am using the stock aggregator module. It's working pretty well (albeit some issues with certain feeds that don't conform to the letter of the law) but was wondering if there is a limit to how many sites can be aggregated without a significant performance issue. We are currently aggregating around 140 feeds, updating hourly, and all seems to be working okay, but the building of the list from the database is not the fastest thing in the world.

Just an user has option to receive or *not* receive private messages
how an user can hide online status if s/he wants to ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

So I want to make a section for webcomics on my website. A user should be able to create a new 'comic' and then add 'comic pages' to it. i could, of course, use the book module to do this, with some modification, but what ends up happening is that users are presented with the ability to post pages on other users comics and i would like to restrict this.

so basically, i want to make it so my users can create their own books, edit their own books, add children pages to their own books, and edit those children pages, but not be able to touch another users book at all.

I am using the Amember script to bridge subscription payments through 1shopppingcart for my Drupal 5 site. When a person signs up in amember the Drupal database is updated.

Amember data, feeds into Drupal but not visa-versa -- SO I am thinking I need to disable the Drupal members from updating their username, password, and email address in Drupal :my account>>user account block.

I can redirect users to the Amember side to update this and it will report over to Drupal just fine.
