Post installation

Hi there,
I installed Drupal 4.7 on my server yesterday. However the server is not controlled by me (I don't own it). The only way to reference the site is to use an url. But I don't want to use the url I have cause it is hard and complicated. I setup my own registered domain name and am using a DNS entry to proxy from my domain I want to the url I have to use (stealth URL).
eg. It is something like this (this isn't the real address, just so not to make it all public.)
The original url is: http://www.examples.com/~name/drupal/
The registered domain: http://www.mypage.com/
Now I have manged to setup the proxy and it works. I can see my drupal page perfectly. The theme loads, the pages when i select in the administrators area loads. However, when I go to makes changes such as adding a new page or editing an existing page/node I run into problems. For some reason the request appends ~name/drupal/ twice onto the request and therefore fail i.e.
The requested URL /~name/drupal/~name/drupal/ was not found on this server. is the error message.
I have tried to code in the $base_url in the settings.php and I have also tried to add a fix I found on drupal where you don't hard code the link in but rather use php to discover the base url and setup the base url. Neither of these solutions seem to fix the adding nodes problem.

I know this is not a real Drupal problem. However it was caused by my asking questions about Drupal and MySQL. My hosting site (USWDH, which I will no longer recommend) closed my site down. And I had just spent 4 days building my site in Drupal!

I need a new host FAST!

Hi,
I would like to display a list of users by role.
I have 5 different types of roles and would like 5 lists of users.

How can I do that?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Assume that I have created a block by going to administer->view. This block will be in the first page. Now assume that the user clicks on an item in the menu and goes to a page. The created block will be in this page as well. My question is how can I restrict the created block just to be shown in the front page and not every page that a user visits.

Thank you,

Rostam

During massive site reconfig I seem to have done something to lose my node submenu tabs (edit/view etc) and tabs on admin pages ('add new menu' etc). Don't know all the submenu URLs by heart & am slowly going mad.

In the dank recesses of my brain I vaguely recall there's a "display submenus as tabs" type toggle somewhere - I see nothing on my themes config page. Hunted everywhere before posting. Where is it? Thanks!

Hi

I installed ldap_integration, installation was smooth, as was the configuration (of ldapauth, ldapdata).

But then when I tried logon into Drupal, with username & password (correspondingly 'uid' & 'userPasword' from my LDAP directory), browser screen becomes a 'not found' error.

Meanwhile other log files showed:
HTTP (PHP) error log: "[notice] child pid nnnnn exit signal Segmentation fault (11)"
LDAP log show positive responses and in fact apparently binded successfully
