Post installation

Hey all - I've got an older Drupal system (4.2.0) which I occasionally have a few dumb-ass script-kiddies try and break into. They register for dozens of accounts, and then try to log into those accounts to elevate privaleges. After the first go-around, I set my registration to block all new accounts so they had to be approved by a moderator. Pisses me off that I have to do this ... but that's the nature of idiots, they piss you off.

In Chameleon theme, below every blog, such words will display:

"By Pal Woo at 2005-11-16 20:16 | Hardware | Pal Woo's blog | add new comment | read more | 7 reads"

I don't want "Pal Woo's blog" display here. I changed the code when I used Drupal 6.0, it displayd like this:

"By Pal Woo at 2005-11-16 20:16 | Hardware | add new comment | read more | 7 reads"

I installed the location module and have most of it is working fine in my Drupal 4.6.3 site, except for the proximity search tab in the search page. No matter what is searched for, it returns no results when there are definitely hits within the givien zip code radius.

The google map part works fine on the profile page, so the location data is collected and saved properly, I assume, but the proximity search based on zip code doesn't work.

First of all,
I apologize if this is already answered elsewhere but I couldn't find it.

My Setup

• development server is my windows XP laptop with drupal 4.6.3 installed and running (Apache 2 + PHP 5 + MySQL 4)
• production server is a linux box with basically the same software installed but a slight different apache setup

My Goal

I would like to move my site from development to production as quickly as possible.
I understand that the easiest way is to copy all drupal files and folders from development to production, and dump the database in development (with mysqldump) and recreate it on production, restoring all data (with mysql).
I am familiar with these operations, and got no difficulties here.

My Problem

The problem is linked to the slightly different setup in the two webserver: while on my XP laptop I have installed drupal in a folder in the Apache Document Root (and set drupal $base_url accordingly as http://my.laptop.ip.address/drupal_root) in the production machine I have to install drupal in the webserver root ($base_url = http://production.server.ip.address).

I moved drupal folder and database from development to production, changed $base_url on the production server and connected to production... but my drupal site was not working as expected!

The home page (I use front_page module) is OK, but if I click on any link apache gives me a

I currently have my site set up so that user pictures are shown only in comments, and not for regular content nodes. I want to display user pictures in forum nodes. Is it possible to do this without turning user pictures on for all nodes?

I created an interactive Flash map, where viewers can click on a town that is generated by a Drupal taxonomy tree. Because I spent some time trying to find something like this on the forums, but couldn't, I figured I'd post my solution in case it helps someone in the future. I apologize if it's a bit rough; it's still in development, and not intended to be for general use. I'll post the code & demo links following, in case I need to edit any of it.
