Post installation

Trying to weigh the advantages of Public vs Private download method. It seems like using a (rewritten)query string (private download method) would require more server resources than using a physical file path (public download method).

Is this correct?, or do I misunderstand how these things work?

I'm trying to troubleshoot massive CPU usage and MySQL errors on a site where it is not uncommon to have 1500 simultaneous connections to a page with 20+ images on it. Wondering if having "Download method" set to private could have something to do with it. (Caching enabled)

How can i create another user with the same privileges as the user you create right after installation? I want to have 2 or 3 of those users for a single site.

Do I need to create a new access role and check off every box? Is there an easier way?

Thanks

Hi all. I have done alot fo searching and test of the different node privacy/access systems. So far, none seem to do exactly what I need to do.

On the front page of the site, I want anonymous users to be able to see all the items that have been promoted. New Pages/Stories/Forum topics, etc. I want them to see the titles and teasers of these items. However, when they click on the item, I want them to get an access denied message, or re-directed to the login page.

The last requirement, is that I can set this up as the administrator, and the people who create the content can not change it. So in Content Types->Configure, I can specify all my settings (Promote to Front, Published, etc) including security. And then no one can override it.

Seems fairly easy to me, except I cant get it to work yet. If I uncheck "Access Content" on the node option in access control, they dont see anything at all on the front page. Not the titles or the teaser at all.

I have looked at TAC_Lite. This is ok, but I dont want to restrict access based on Taxonomy. Once the user is in the site, they can read everything. (Edit is still only by admin and original poster.)

Simple_Access. I dont quite understand this one. Why cant it use the roles I have already created in Access Control? Why do I have to create new groups for this? Also, it still doesnt allow for the setup I want.

hi, i'm new to drupal. i try to use Drupal 4.7 built-in upload module and i set the size limit to 0 (that means no restriction) but when i upload the files that is larger than 3 MB, nothing happens (no error messages and no file uploaded).
