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

How do I change what page people see after logging in?

After you log in to a site, is it possible to forward them to the page they had been at before logging in, rather than their user page, or perhaps even a "logged in" home page or something? I don't like dumping people to their profiles after they use the quick sign in block, but can't figure out how to get around that. Thanks!

Multiple column layout on homepage?

I would like to move our site over to Drupal, but am having trouble just trying to grasp all the stuff out there. It is very exicting to see all the sites that are already using it, and I want to get there eventually. We currently have a site that is done in static html via Dreamweaver. The homepage is the image you see here (it is a staff website, and prefer to keep the info internal, so sorry for the blur). The basic layout is 4 columns wide with information.

multisite -- what am I missing?

All,

I've read the multisite info in install.txt and settings.php, I've found/read several related forum threads (especially http://drupal.org/node/20663), and I still can't get basic multisite functionality working in Drupal 4.6.3.

I know this topic comes up a lot in the forums, and it's possible I missed a thread that would solve my problem perfectly, but I'm hoping someone will help me troubleshoot this.

My desired functionality: completely independent Drupal sites (separate users, content, themes, etc), running on the same codebase, pointing to different hosts/subdomains of the same domain.

Thanks to my ISP blocking inbound traffic on port 80, I use dyndns.org to bounce requests to port 8080 (as per their their instructions: http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/archives/redirecting_webhttp_requests.html). The redirects work as follows:

drupalsite1.mydomain.org --> drupalsite1.x.mydomain.org:8080
drupalsite2.mydomain.org --> drupalsite2.x.mydomain.org:8080

Now, for my Drupal config...

The Drupal codebase lives in: /var/www/drupal/

I have configured Apache2 virtual hosts for both drupalsite1.x.mydomain.org and drupalsite2.x.mydomain.org, with both virtual hosts pointing their DocumentRoot to /var/www/drupal

In sites/default/settings.php, I have the following:


$base_url = 'http://drupalsite1.x.mydomain.org:8080';
$db_url = 'mysql://site1dbuser:site1password@localhost/site1db';

help with mailhandler error

I have mailhandler all set up--it puts the mail in the right taxonomy but the body text of the email isn't put into the node. I get this error in watchdog:

Unsupported encoding 'iso-8859-1'. Please install iconv, GNU recode or mbstring for PHP

Are these programs I would put on my server and install somehow? Anyone know what this means?
