Post installation

I have made sure the upload module is turn on, and that the files folder is writable. When I try to upload a picture, I get this :

Fatal error: mime_magic could not be initialized, magic file /usr/share/file/magic.mime is not available in /var/www/drupal/includes/file.inc on line 149

Any thoughts?

Here's a bit of background. My site is a highly customized PHP Template. I have the administration section completely separate from the rest of the page, and not accessible through the front or inner pages. This is intentional and non negotiable. In the administration panel I have intalled Taxonomy_Menu to view a hierarchy of the page structure. Ideally, I'd like to be able to select a page and edit it from there.

I want to "weight" individual nodes (or posts) as I do with blocks or menu items. I know I can make a post "sticky" to remain at the top of the page, but I'd like sometimes to move some posts (for instance, more popular news) ahead of others. Can this be done? If so, how?

Hi there!

I've been trying to use field_mov.inc by Harald Walker, found here: http://drupal.org/node/11193 - but I simply cannot make it work because of a php-error, reported here: http://drupal.org/node/11609

Anyway, I'd like to ask the community, if there are other ways to accomplish my goal?

Hi

I'm using the /chameleon/marvin theme in Drupal version 4.6.3

When comments are added they are listed in descending date order with the newest one directly under the story. I'd like the order to be reversed with the newest one at the bottom as on drupal.org. Does anyone know how to do this in this theme.

Apologies if there's an obvious answer to this that I haven't been able to find.

Thanks
Phil

Image block on the front page gives out similar pictures for recent image and random image. Is there anyway we can stop recent image being displayed as random image.
Kind regards
