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

Time Zones and Calendars

All my Drupal sites have time zone and calendar problems, and I haven't been able to fix them.

First, the default time zone offset at administer->settings is wrong. The correct time is shown with an offset of 0, but it should be -5 since I'm in New York time zone. How can I fix this?

Second, when an event is set to, say, 10:00 am it appears in the calendar as 5:00 am. How can I fix this?

Third, The calendar opens up to November - it's March now. How do I make the current month the month the calendar opens to?

Convert drupal site to static site

Following up on my "memory exhausted" problem (see other post), I'd like to know if there's a module that lets me convert my dynamic site to a quasi-static one. I have 4800 nodes and 15000 taxonomy terms that only change once or twice per day. So it would be enough to run a cron script that once a day converts the node and the taxonomy pages to static ones - and to circumvent Drupal's memory limit problem. I'd like to keep one part of the page dynamic, however, and this is the one that allows users to login and to create new nodes.

Memory exhausted

I'm using Drupal 4.6 on a SuSE 9.3 machine, using Apache 2.0 and mySQL 3.23. The average numbers of visitors is 400 (Drupal's count in the Who's online box). So far I'm impressed with the possibilites Drupal offers and its advantages over other CMS. BUT - and it's a big BUT - two or three times a day my DRUPAL install crashed, displaying an empty site while the error_log complains about "client denied by server configuration". When I tried to follow up on this error, I stumbled across an "Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes)" in access.log.

user error: Table 'ezzini_algodrup.file' doesn't exist

I am getting this error.

user error: Table 'ezzini_algodrup.file' doesn't exist

when I checked the tables in my database there is a table called

FILE

I assume that is the problem that it is uppercase and it needs to be lowercase. If so, how do I change it?

Thanks,

how do I use hook_onload?

I'm new to drupal, and I'm need to add a function to body-onload on every page. page.tpl.php uses 'theme("onload_attribute")' to create the onload attribute. I know onload_attribute is set somehow using the the onload hook. However, I have no idea how I'm supposed to actually add something to hook.

Unable to create thumbnail image

Using the Image module to add an image to a gallery works fine, thumbnail image and full size is created. However, if I later edit the image describtion and save the changes, I get the error message 'Unable to create thumbnail image', and either the full size image is displayed instead of a thumbnail or no image is displayed at all.
The problem is similar to the one reported in http://drupal.org/node/31280, but setting permissions to 777 for files/images doesn't help in my case.
Can you help me?
