Post installation

I've had a lot of performance issues with Drupal since installing in March - it's on a dedicated box (w/512) and gets moderate traffic (maybe 300 users max at a time though - usually more like 125) but I have CPU and/or MYSQL problems. Usually rebooting gets me back to normal but I often have to reboot once or twice a day. I tried moving to a managed VPS last month but they told me I was using too many resources so I'm back on the dedicated box. (Sorry for the sob story)

I installed Devel this weekend and I have 318 queries on the front page (I'm logged in as the admin though) - that's a lot isn't it? Some of them seem like repeats and very few seem tied to specific modules but although I have a beginners familiarity with MySQL and PHP I don't know where to begin with analysing and learning from this list.

Is 318 a lot (it seems like a lot!)? Can anyone give me some help/tips... words of encouragement to hang in there :)???

Executed 318 queries in 277.74 milliseconds. Queries taking longer than 5 ms and queries executed more than once, are highlighted. Page execution time was 1465.42 ms.
ms # where query
0.33 0 drupal_lookup_path SELECT COUNT(pid) FROM url_alias
0.23 0 drupal_lookup_path SELECT src FROM url_alias WHERE dst = 'front_page'
0.53 0 module_list SELECT name, filename, throttle, bootstrap FROM system WHERE type = 'module' AND status = 1 ORDER BY weight ASC, filename ASC

Hey everybody. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this query since I haven't actually installed Drupal yet but my question seems a bit too technical for the general forum.

Anyways, I want to build a website that's more of a web application as it will have a bunch of 'dynamic' story nodes that will pull info from a database based on what options users pick from a previous node that will have a Html Form on it. That seems perfectly easy to do with what I've played around with on opensourcecms.com (great site).

Hi!

I want to set up a really simple product management system on my page. The eCommerce Module is way too compley for my needs. I'd like to manage this with either with a new CCK node type or some other module.

A product page should have title, description, and - with CCK thats the hard part - some list select fields where the user can select some properties that the node creator can specify (different ones for different products...). And below all this there should be a button to send an email with username and selected options to the admin-email-adress.

How do i set that submitted blogs are automatically in "full html"?

is it possible to display a view (generated by views module) onto the user profile page?

i am already customizing the profile page with a php override in my template file. I am able to display CCK node content - can this be extended to a themed cck view?

or, i suppose, an alternative would be - can cck content displayed on the profile page be themed?

thanks!

I have several drupal sites in which I use organic groups successfully. I have a problem now, however, with one of the sites in that I cannot change themes successfully for groups. There is obviously something broken but I cannot work out what. I have attached a movie of a working site and a movie of the broken site. The site which prohibits changes to themes for groups is working in all other ways.
