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

Drupal on Solaris with Postgres

I have installation on Drupal 4.7 on Solaris 9 with iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP10, PHP 5.1.2 and PostgreSQL 8.1.1.

I have constant problem receiving some warnings related to the cache. If I have limited modules included in the configuration everything is fine. But when I add some additional modules, it's not important which, then this warning messages start to come on every open page. Cache is disabled but Drupal probably use cache for some static pages or menus.
Messages are this:

• warning: pg_query() [function.pg-query]: Query failed: could not receive data from server: No such file or directory in /drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 84.
• user warning: query: SELECT data, created, headers, expire FROM cache WHERE cid = 'menu:1:en' in /drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 103.

If I disable some of the modules then everything is fine with out these warning messages. But on this way I am limited to use just some of the modules and then Drupal is useless. I find a way to filter these warnings and not show them to everybody and now I have clean pages for visitors without warnings and errors.

Why all warnings and errors have to be placed on all pages?
It's not good to have them there.
All users must have impression that everything is working fine. Why you are not put them just in logs.

I still can't find what is producing this warning, postgres, php, solaris or some wrong combination of all of them. Probably adding more modules cache data are bigger and this is producing some timeout until data is served to the php function which requests them. I still can’t find where is the problem and it will be good to share some information if somebody have similar platform like me.

Please point me int the right direction

Ok, I am playing around with drupal as a potential CMS for a project I am working on. This is my first attempt to use drupal. I had previously tried out Xoops for this project but got frustrated with their forum mods who deleted posts containing any ill words towards their software.

I've got drupal 4.6 up and running on my development box (windows xp pro; Apache 2.0.55; PHP 5.1.1; MySQL 4.1) Next, I installed the phptemplate engine and started to dig into some theme development. Now however I am stuck.

This project I am working on will eventually contain a large volume of text data mostly in the form of unorded lists and links. The basic layout of this project is quite simple. It is to be a three coloumn format with a header and footer that remain consitant across all the pages. The left coloumn contains a navigation module and a multifunction search box; the middle contains all of the content; and in the right coloumn there is a secondary navigation box whose links change depending on what section of the site you are in.

So for example; the left navigation would have links like Home; Databases; Computers and if you were to click on the "Computers" link the middle coloumn would change to an index or home page for the computers section and the right coloumn would now display a module with all the links to pages that contain more detailed content relevant to the "computers" section such as Classes, Tutorials, Wireless Access, etc.

all-day events with Event module

Hi,

I got Event installed and working somehow. But how do I make all-day events? Letting it run from 0:00 to 23:59 doesn't do it, and the same time for start and stop doesn't work either.

TIA, Roman

Flexinode listing

OK, I'm sure this has been done before, but I can't quite seem to find it. I have a flexinode that consists of a couple of attributes. I need to create a page that will consist of all of those flexinodes- not teasers that click through- the entire flexinode, in an unordered list. Normally, I'd just write something custom and use it as a php code snippet in a story page, but I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around this query. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to do this, or if there is a module that has already been done to help me out here?

taxonomy hierarchies

There is a thing about taxonomy hierarchies I really don't understand.
Lets say I have a dictionary called Places:

Places
+-europe (1)
---france (2)
---germany (3)
---italy (4)
+-asia (5)
--japan (6)
--china (7)

selecting the url http://www.example.com/taxonomy/term/1 (europe) I really would expect to get all the nodes tagged europe (term 1) PLUS all the nodes tagged france, germany and italy (taxonomy_menu behaves this way). Instead I only get the nodes tagged europe.

To get what I want, I should tag every node for continent AND for country, making the whole hierarchy totally useless.

Am I wrong?

Login caching problem

I've already read this thread:
http://drupal.org/node/38213

The bootstrap.inc fix appears to already be included in my basic install. So does the ExpiresByType text/html A1 fix in the .htaccess

Deleting the cache in the browser does fix the problem, but of course I have users.

Are there other things I can try?
