Post installation

I have installed apache2triad on my PC, and successfully installed Drupal 4.7.2.

I will be building 3 separate sites, so I have copied the 'default' directory 3 times, changed each directory name to nameofsite.com, and modified each of the 'settings.php' files as instructed under #4 of http://drupal.org/node/43807.

I'm sorry but I am really new to Drupal. I have content created as pages. How do I link to other pages on my site. If I use http://example.com/?q=node/4 as the href, it accesses the page but logs the user out in the process. What is the correct way to link from one page to another?

Thank you.

Hey,

I just got a shiney new pair of Dell servers (sweet!) and am running into some very strange trouble with $_POST data.

A bit of background:

• Server is running Debian Testing
• Apache 2.0.55-4 and PHP 5.1.4-0.1
• Mysql 5.0.22-3
• I am running a test version of www.projectopus.com on the server
• My other servers include 2 Debian testing boxes, and an Ubuntu Dapper box. None of those are using Mysql 5 .... but that "shouldn't matter"

Please flag me right away if that LAMP version combo seems like a bad move.

NOTE: This problem may seem similar to the thread "Problem with login (doesn't seem to 'take')" however I assure you this matter is differnt. That thread is about problems with: certian browsers, cookies, and session caching. My problem is that on certian forms (on every browser, from any location) the post data doesn't get passed all the way through PHP.

I can confirm this by putting a drupal_set_message('POST: ' . var_export($_POST)) in a menu hook of a loaded module (menu hook gets hit always and at least once). On some forms I can see my post data show up. On the "broken" forms I see one or possibly two lines showing POST: array().

Specifically the problem affects the following forms:

• Quick Login (user/login works correctly though)

I would like my members to be able to participate in discussions on my Forums by email. Ideally, I would like them to be able to:

1. Opt to receive a full copy (not just a notification that a message has been posted) of all messages posted to a specified forum.

2. Opt to receive a full copy (not just a notification that a message has been posted) of replies to a question posted to a specified forum

3. Post new threads to a specified forum by email.

ALL LINKS TO NODES RETURN A 404 ERROR!!

I installed Gallery 2.1 for use with drupal. I was working on embedding it into drupal, which reqired some .htaccess work. All was well. Today, my default main page comes up, but NOTHING else loads. I can't even log in (/user is also 404)!

I'm having the original .htaccess files reloaded. Any other ideas as to what this might be?

the database IS intact, thankfully.

Thanks!
Shawn

Does anyone know how to set things up so that one can access their site by using http://serverIP/~username. My links bust whenever I do that and adding the url to settings.php doesn't seem to help either.
