Post installation

Hi all,

I am trying to set up Druapl 5.0 to contain multiple sites. This is a fresh install on a Linux server running apache2.

What I have done:
1) downloaded and unzipped drupal,
2) created examplea.com/ and exampleb.com/ folders in the .../drupal-5.0/sites/ folder,
3) set up apache to resolve examplea.com and exampleb.com requests to the .../drupal-5.0/ folder on the server,
4) created mysql databases with appropriate rights for examplea.com and exampleb.com
4) this works - i visited examplea.com and exampleb.com, and ran the install script on each sites folder, and everything was successful. I checked each database; it's populated with Drupal stuff, so the install did work.

Great - everything happened as it should! I have two sites set up, each responding to the request by serving a particular domain folder from the sites/ directory.

THE QUESTION: Now, I sometimes want non-drupal files or folders to be accessible from the web. For example, I put a file in .../drupal-5.0/sites/examplea.com/sample_file.txt and want to view it from www.examplea.com/sample_file.txt. This does not work now because apache is pointing to .../drupal-5.0/ folder (see #3 above), not .../drupal-5.0/sites/examplea.com. How do I make a site folder serve files in that folder?

Hi there,

The upper bound of 2000 chars in a front page teaser is becoming v.annoying to myself and my client, I want to just display the whole node on the front page, no "read more" links ever again pls.

What's the fastest / simplest way to attack this?

Thanks,

I'm having a weird problem with drupal 4.7.9: Duplicate results after every search operation!
The results are shown in pairs, one after one.

I have tried to re-index the site (admin/settings/search) to no avail, the results are all doubled!

Anyone?

Mmh… :-/

before is the page "http://xx/?q=admin/build/modules blank"??? With this page blank is maintaining of drupal for me not possible. I cannot increase the amount of memory etc., see http://drupal.org/node/110485

How can I determine if I can install 5 or 10 or 20 modules and which combination of modules?

Without this is drupal useless.
the page "?q=admin/build/modules" is really blank (in source is nothing)

I'm working on an update to one of my sites and have got an logo image on the right of the header and am then simply having the sitename displayed. However, I'd like to have a line of text under the site name saying our location (Bradford on Avon) but am not sure how to add that to the header as well.

Can I create another image with the text and then place that using CSS, or is there some other way to do it?

You can see the site at http://test.boahc.co.uk

I used Logintobbogan with no problem in 4.7. After uploading & activating it in 5.0, all appeared to be ok until I tried to look at the site when not logged in. It is not there. I have to access the site via .../user to login.

What could be the problem?
