Post installation

Hey guys,

I am just entered the world of drupal. At start I feel very confused last week but yesterday only I finished the structure of my site and its awesome to complete it in just an hour. Amazing work by drupal community.

Right now I am stuck with very strange problem. It might not be but I am surprised if its right then why it is like this way?

For some reason all of my links on my Drupal 4.6/ Civicspace 0.8.2 Install stopped working…

All of my links that were in /link/ format are magically broken? now I can only access /?q=link
This used to work: http://mysite.com/user/5
And now only this works: http://mysite.com/?q=user/5

It is almost acting like it upgraded itself or something… The problem is that my Drupal install up to this point has totally been based on the /user/5 method

I cannot even login because when I try to send my information, it tries to post to a http://mysite.com/user/login?destination=user page.

What I did before this was:
Sent email to client w/ username and password of: emily on 7/28.
Site was working properly at this time.
On 8/2 8:30 pm performed the following actions in the following order:
(it is not known if prior to performing the below steps that the link were already broken, as I had not checked since 7/28)
- Removed FrontPage Extensions via Cpanel
- Backed up Drupal Database via Cpanel
- Performed Backup of Home Directory via Cpanel
- Performed Full Backup of all files via Cpanel
- Performed Full Backup of Database via Cpanel
- Created test database via Cpanel
- deleted test database via cpanel
- recreated test database via cpanel and added the drupal user to it
- created test directory and uploaded a copy of existing drupal install to it.

I'm a little confused to how I should start out, what to try fiddle with first.

I want to display my nodes in a listing format like excel, with columns of data that will be entered with each node.
So it'd be like this.

date - Node name - author name - size - URL - picture(link) - topic discussion link/forum - read comments for this node[link] - etc
date - Node name - author name - size - URL - picture(link) - topic discussion link/forum - read comments for this node[link] - etc
date - Node name - author name - size - URL - picture(link) - topic discussion link/forum - read comments for this node[link] - etc

How should I go about modifying drupal to accomidate this? I'm thinking I need to make a whole custom node module like story, with more attributes that can be grabbed by the system for display. I need it so like when I go to create this type of node, I can select to it to a category, fill in the fields like described (like in this post how I can select drupal version, only some of the fields will be text input for links).
Then I'd have the body content be what is shown on the node page along with a header of all the fields information. I also later want to have people be able to order the list by each field. So names would be alphabetical, url and links would be booleans, date would be newest and oldest. My last thought, is that I still want to be able to easily report news about the site. This would be done with story nodes and I guess could be listed on a different page, with a menu item pointing to that.

I recently installed OG, and in order to get it to work properly, I had to uninstall Taxonomy Access. When I did that, my Category Permissions tab (administer>>access control) disappeared.

My question is: Is there a way to assign category permissions to roles without taxonomy access, and if so, how?

Thanks.

I am getting this error when I attempt to open one of the views I created. Any ideas?

user warning: Table 'drupal.node_' doesn't exist query: SELECT node.nid, .... it goes on for a long time.

At the very end it says ...LIMIT 0,10 in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\includes\database.mysqli.inc on line 121.

=(

I have the site just on my computer right now as you can see, it is not online.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm a Drupal newbie (18 hours and counting). Everything was going just fine... and then I did something that means I no longer see any content whenever I try to edit an existing article.

I'm probably not describing that clearly enough, so this picture might explain things better:
