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

Accidentally deleted column instead of field...

I'm new to MySql, and may have just broken my installation. On http://meetthegamer.com I deleted the column realm. Also, using simple_access, I produced the error that makes it so that no one can view any content. I caused the previous error while trying to fix the latter. Apparently, screaming and crying in frustration wont fix it. I tried that.

edit primary links accidentally deleted

How do I get it back? When I was in the Menu portion of administration I deleted it thinking it would effect only the theme I was working with. How do I get it back though? I've attempted to create a new menu with the same name, i assumed this would not work and my assumption was correct. How do I get it back?

Changing Drupal's Location

I have Drupal set up at www.example.com/drupal. I would like to be able to type in www.example.com and have it forward to /drupal. How can I do this?

Thanks

After 13 unresolved topics ... is there a final solution to THIS?

Sorry to post this "general" and undetermined title for this post.
I´ve been a while looking for an answer related to private and restricted uploaded files, and didn´t get the answer yet.

Not even at the IRC. Not here at the forums.
And I´m not the only one.

There have been several posts related to this stuff:

http://drupal.org/node/41175
http://drupal.org/node/68270
http://drupal.org/node/68297
http://drupal.org/node/68301
http://drupal.org/node/37719
http://drupal.org/node/68255
http://drupal.org/node/68252
http://drupal.org/node/68220
http://drupal.org/node/68225
http://drupal.org/node/46187
http://drupal.org/node/13553
http://drupal.org/node/26601
http://drupal.org/node/20329

I´ve started some of those, and I´ve participated in some others.
None of them with a solution.

Please let me be clear, as my mother´s tongue isn´t english maybe I´m sounding angry, or complaining, or something like that. But it is NOT. I´m very grateful with Drupal community! I could happily set my site because of your help!

I just desperately need a solution for this. And didn´t find it yet.
I´m passing to Drupal the whole site of my company, and found that one special and very important issue is unsolved: I need the ability to upload private files, and public ones. I din´t saw that problem before. I thought that controlling node and block access was enough.

URLALIASing upon user registration

Upon a successful registration, I would like to automatically alias
http://www.example.com/blog/4 (4 is just an example)
to
http://www.example.com/blog/john (john is username for uid=4)

I dont give my users access to urlalias. So I would like to control and fix their aliasing that way. How can this be done? Code snipper pls. TIA.

Can someone explain what the dir.lock file does and what permissions it should have?

I've been chasing down a problem with Acidfree where certain files would cause huge lists of errors. After three days of trying everything I can think of, I figured out that changing the permissions on the dir.lock file in the files/tmp/acidfree folder to 766 fixes the problem. But, I don't really know what that means, if I've opened up a security hole, or if this is something I need to change on the dir.lock files in other folders.

Can someone who understands the dir.lock file give me a rundown on what it does?
