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

My forum.module is fubard (help!)

My 4.6.5 has been working great for months. Today i decided to activate the forum module and i found it wasnt working (got a big ugly SQL error) - i tried installing a 3rd party forum,-module and not only did that not work either, but it overwrote my existing forum.module..

So now i'm stuck with NO forum module at all. How can i reinstall the default (4.6.5) forum module and then hopefully troubleshoot it??

Help! Problem was solved in 4.6, now it's back in 4.7!

Hi,
in good old 4.6 days, my site wasn't working when I used a Shared SSL Certificate:

Posting a form, a part of the URL got lost.
Instead of
https://ssl.webpack.de/www.mydomain.com/node/101/edit
I just got
https://ssl.webpack.de/node/101/edit

The solution was to replace in common.inc the line

Acidfree 500 Error

Hello, all. I'm pretty new to drupal and have a website up and running, and have been trying to get some photo albums going with acidfree. I installed filemanager and acidfree fine and easy, and both filemanager and acidfree claim to be set up right. I can create albums, upload photos, etc, but any time I try to edit anything using the acidfree panel (such as title, description, etc), I get thrown to a 500 internal server error... with nothing else. I can access the photos just fine- I seem to be able to do anything but edit the description, title etc.

Taxonomy Access and Category Module

For some reason it does not work.

See the following images:

The first image shows how I have set the permission for my container Private for the user anonymous_user which I assume means someone not logged in.

nice menu display problem

Hello all, I have been working on trying to get nice menus to actually "be" nice. I have installed nice menus in three sites so far and as of yet I cannot get around one really big bug (my most recent workaround is not to have submenus - and that invalidates thier usefulness). Using the horizontal menu setting, the submenus do not align to the bottom of the top level menus. I have been able to set the padding and top of these two items:

ul.nice-menu a {
padding: 0.3em 15px 0.3em 5px;
display: block;
}

ul.nice-menu ul{
position: absolute;
top: 1.8em;
left: -1px;
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
margin-right: 0;
display: none;
}

and it helps, as long as no one gets the idea to resize the website. When one resizes the site to say 150% (IE, FFox, Ms - Mozilla, Opera) a gap forms in between the menus and submenus. Once that gap is there, if the user tries to scroll over to the submenu it collapses since the user actually leaves the nice-menu without entering the sub-menu. I hope that there is someone out there who knows what is causing this dreaded and tortuous functionality. I am at wits end here and getting ready to attempt to put together my own drop down menu using css.

The funny thing is "nice-menus" is the only drop down horizontal menu that I have seen so far that has this problem. I hope that this problem can be addressed soon.

"files/.htaccess" always necessary?

Hi,

I am currently installing drupal on yahoo hosting. I've created and uploaded all necessary files to the server root (as far as I remember, drupal is not working under sub-directory if .htaccess is not allowed like Yahoo hosting). I tried same setting with Startlogic server and it works fine. But with Yahoo server, IE displays HTTP 403 (Forbidden) message. File permissions for php and other sub directorys are exactly same but under "files/.htaccess" as Yahoo is not allowing.
