Howdy Folks:

Trying to get the CLean URLs to work and getting the following error:

Not Found
The requested URL /drupal-4.7.1/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.36 Server at ls401.acenet.net Port 80

Assuming I'm pointing something to the wrong place. Here's my code. Could someone please take a quick glance and let me know what I'm doing incorrect? THANKS

i remember the way images used to be handled in Drupal, a couple of years ago (the bad old days). it was hideous, a nightmare. images caused more grief than anything else. and then, the update to 4.5 or such (i forget the number), images suddenly became a joy! you didn't even need the image module; just ftp your image to the files directory and use a basic img tag. viola, picture in your node & bob's yer uncle.

1) How can I define and use a custom session php variable in drupal 4.6.x ?
2) Same question for 4.7.x

I have taken a look around but i can't find an option for unsubscribing to the E-Commerce support forum, Can anyone tell me how?

I feel like I must be misunderstanding this problem, because I haven't found ANY posts on this and I've been searching for a while (including the mailing list). Basically, my PathAuto indices don't work at all. This is Drupal 4.7.2.

Under the user account page pattern I have: users/[user]. blogs: users/[user]/blog. Blog entries: users/[user]/blog/[title].

I have "Create Index Aliases" checked, and all of the bulk update boxes checked. PathAuto says it has created node, user, and blog aliases, but 0 index aliases.

If I visit /users/nick_urban, it worked as expected, but if I visit /users, instead of a list of the user pages (which is what is supposed to happen, right?), it gives me an SQL error:

Hello,

I got the basic Drupal 4.7 configured and running with GoDaddy's Linux Economy plan. Now I'm sorta lost on how to get a functional website with some ecommerce functionality. My requirements are for a simple site with 3-4 static pages and a category list to display the store contents by category/vendor with Paypal integration. The site should also have an administrator module to manage the inventory details.

Can some point me to some documentation / tutorials / step by step process to create a website? Greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Ng
