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

Open A Drupal Page with NO MENUS???

Hi,

I want to link to a Drupal page from another site. It is a registration page for a CiviCRM install.

When the user clicks this link, I am opening it in a new window. I do not want any Drupal menus or any Drupal anything to be visible. The site that this form is on is another site altogether and will only be used internally. I want the form but nothing else to come up.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Modules .Install Files Not Working

When turning on modules in my Drupal site (eCommerce and CCK) I was getting tons of errors and quickly realized that the included .install files were not installing the database tables as they are supposed to. Out of frustration I manually installed eCommerce's database tables for each of the modules I was using. I am about to do the same for CCK, but does anyone know what is causing this so I can fix it for future use?

Thanks.

Drupal sucking up memory like a hoover

I have been using drupal for a while. For some reason when it is running on our basic webserver it is sucking up all the available memory. I am currently using drupal 4.7.3. I have switched cacheing on but that isn't always helpful as it only caches authenticated users and the site is going to be used for mostly anonymous users. I have a couple of drupal sites running on a VPS with php4 and mysql 4 and they don't seem to show this hoovering activity. On the site I am having problems with it is using php5 (fedora core 4) and mysql 4 running on a dual core intel Xeon with 512mb RAM.

Restrict posting category, edit permissions assigning user to a category

I was wondering if I could be pointed in the direction of relevant tutorials. I'm a bit confused by the functions offered by Drupal and the various modules and don't know which one will be more appropriate.

Please note - I am designing a website for a charity. I am not a programmer but I am able (and willing) to learn basics to modify what I need. The end result needs to be easy to update and maintain.

(What I've done so far)
- I have created my own template by modifying page.tpl.php and style.css of bluemarine.
- I have created a basic hierarchy for navigation using category module with primary links along the top and secondary links displayed in a side menu.
- I have created a custom menu/block showing a user's profile and log out option when logged in.
- I do not want all users to be able to edit their own blog; instead, I would like admin to create their blog for them (will only be quite a small site).
- I have done this so far by creating a category called Michael's Blog under the Blogs container. This is displayed as a secondary link.

(The problem now)
1. I think the above approach for blogs is wrong. Essentially I want admin to approve requests for blogs and for blogs not to be automatically assigned to registered users. Would I be better off creating a blogging users role? What would I do afterwards to get this to work as the category does in the menu and breadcrumb hierarchy?

Problem creating new accounts.

I get a 404 at:

http://127.0.0.1/drupal/drupal-4.7.3/?q=user/register

And I dont know why.

Everything else works, as far as I can tell.

Ideas on where to start checking? Drupal is proving a little difficult for me to figure out.

Thank you.
