Post installation

I've recently installed Drupal and gotten everything set up the way I want. I'm using mailhandler to submit content. My problem is, there are some nodes missing from my main page. Each piece of content has the teaser, the submitter, the title, and the read more link. On one piece of content, the title links to node 327, the submitter points to the one from node 327, the teaser is from node 325, and the read more link points to node 325. The teaser, title, etc..., from node 326 are completely missing (in Firefox).

I have installed Drupal 4.6 & 4.7 onto my webhosting server.

4.6 Installs no problem.
4.7 requires 2 lines of code in the php.ini file to overwrite the php mbstring:

ini_set('mbstring.http_input', 'pass');
ini_set('mbstring.http_output', 'pass');

Either which way - they seem to work fine. Then I go to install some Contribution Modules like E-Commerce and Gallery and after the upload ->activate ->save settings... I get the White screen of doom!

Hi everybody,

I am trying to use Drupal in combination with a different programm (a big perl script). Merging the two login systems was not a big deal, but now I want to use the exisiting Drupal seach mechanism out of the perl script. My idea was to simply call the Druapl URL with the correct POST-variables. Looking into the sourcecode I thought the following would do the trick:

/drupal/Startseite?edit[search_block_form_keys]=someString&op=Suchen&edit[form_id]=search_block_form

I've installed Drupal 4.7 and now want to set up multiple site instances using the same base install. To do this, I've created (so far, just) one copy of the /<em>drupal-root</em>/sites/default directory, and edited the settings within that accordingly.

Here's what I have in /<em>drupal-root</em>/sites/default/settings.php (some things changed to protect the innocent):

$db_url = 'mysql://*********';
$db_prefix = '';
$base_url = 'http://www.somesite.com';

ini_set('arg_separator.output',     '&');
ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime',     0);
ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase',      0);
ini_set('session.cache_expire',     200000);
ini_set('session.cache_limiter',    'none');
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',  2000000);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',   200000);
ini_set('session.save_handler',     'user');
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid',    0);
ini_set('url_rewriter.tags',        '');

And here's what I have in /<em>drupal-root</em>/sites/foo.bar.com/settings.php:


$db_url = 'mysql://*********';
$db_prefix = array('default' => '', 'variable' => 'foo_');
$base_url = 'http://foo.bar.com';

ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');
ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);
ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0);
ini_set('session.cache_expire', 200000);

I've got the banner module installed and running, but anonymous users cannot view the banners, even though I activated them under access control. All other roles/users can view banners.

Any ideas? Am I just missing something simple?

Thanks much!

I am setting up my site with themes that use the PHPTemplate engine. I have divided my site up into sections, each of which has its own theme, and I have successfully mapped each section to its theme using the taxonomy_theme module.

What I would like to do now is to specify variables or block content that are unique to each section/theme (for example, each section/theme will have its own slogan). I see several possible solutions:

1. Create blocks for each section/theme (e.g., section1_slogan, section2_slogan, etc.) and only enable the blocks for the sections/themes I want.
