Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Create first account fails, returns to welcome page

Hi everyone,

I've been trying for a couple of weeks to track down the source of this problem. I guess it's time to start asking questions. I've found several "can't create the first account" posts, but nothing that exactly matches mine. So, here goes..

After successfully installing Druapl, I click on the "create the first account" link. I receive the user/register page successfully, which I fill out with a user and an email. When I click "Create new account," I'm returned to the "Welcome to your new Drupal website!" page, with no user created. I'm never presented with the usual second page of first user registration.

I get a access denied

As a admin I am able to view drupal on my vbulletin. However other usergroups get an access denied message. Can anyone help me fix this problem?

Putting "news aggregator" on front page, but also allowing "content" to be mixed in with rss feeds

i think my subject explains my question, but i'll rephrase it again:

i changed "node" in general/settings to "aggregator" and now my frontpage shows my rss feeds i'm subscribed too. awesome.

now.. is there a way to post content and have it show up intermixed with the rss feeds?

thanks in advance!

Need drupal to do certain things

Hello, I just installed drupal on http://www.soccergrip.com/mambo/ ... the template is not yet done, but the site needs to function like www.beyondfootball.com where users can submit videos and tutorials. They also need to be able to comment on videos and have a rating system. I looked around and installed a video module, but it is not really what I need. I need users to be able to upload by themselves and then I can accept or deny.

Easy theme switching?

I have a custom theme based on Andreas, which is visually nice and quiet.

I have also enabled the Pushbutton theme for its accessibility properties.

Andreas will be my default theme, but I want to have an Acessability block on the main page which allows users with impairments to switch across to the Pushbutton theme with a single click, and toggle back if they've clicked accidentally.

I want this to work for non-authorised users, not just registered users.

The theme switching I've seen in the forum seems to relate to pre-phpTemplate implementations.

Seeking tutorials, case studies or other resource on how to structure content for a "how-to" site.

I'm using Drupal on a test site so that I can get my head wrapped around all of its capabilities. One of the things I'm having trouble with is content structure as it relates to site hierarchy and a "positive user experience."

I am going to build a site with a "how to" theme (specifically, "how to set up a a cost-effective small business technology infrastructure").

This is a much broader topic than it would appear at first glance. So I have structured the subject matter so that it is almost a book. Different chapters focus on different elements, and each one builds upon the last.

When a visitor arrives on the site, I want the home page to give the outline of the site, with a recommendation to start in "category 1."

vocabulary 1, Term 1 is the opening chapter, followed in turn by
Cat 1, term 2,
and so on

vocabulary 2, term 1 is the second chapter... etc ad nauseum.

The top leven menu will be the vocabulary/category titles, and expand to show the terms they contain.

My questions are:

Can someone recommend a good referenct that will help me get through this (and get my head around it)? I've searched Drupal.org, but I must not be asking the right question.

If you've seen this before, can you recommend some appropriate modules that will help make my this project easier?

If anyone has a similar site, I would love to browse it and get a feel for the real thing in operation.
