Post installation

If you're using Jumpline as your host, you may be wondering, "Why can't I get clean URLs to work?" After all, mod_rewrite is enabled by default. .htaccess files are set to "override all" by default, clean URLs work with other scripts?? Everything is perfect but it doesn't work!
Tearing your hair out?
Well after 24 hours of messing with it (even dreaming about it last night) I finally figured it out. Here is the step-by-step...

1.) EDIT YOUR HTTPD.CONF FILE. This is the major source of your problem.
Find it by logging in with your ftp client and going to
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Open it and jump to line 476. Change "None" to "All."
i.e.

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

This is different from the "AllowOverride" at line 507 - which must also be set to "All" but is already done by default.

2.) SAVE THIS FILE, overriding the original, AND RESTART APACHE
You restart apache by going to your VDS manager, clicking "Site Management," then click the "Settings" tab. Find Restart VDS and click the "Restart" button. Wait 30 seconds for Apache to restart and you're good to go.

3.) Then, just enable clean URLs in Drupal and life should be giving you lemonade.

In your .htaccess file, strangely, your rewrite base directory does NOT need to be changed.
My final file (after many tweaks just looked like the original .htaccess:

My Drupal site is running just fine except every user sees a different menu. I have several user accounts at different role levels; the admin user's menu seems to be just fine but every other user is not seeing menu customizations, and/or is seeing things I didn't add or in the wrong place.

I have deleted the cache several times and it hasn't helped at all. In fact, it seems to make it worse because each time I do it, more items get out of place.

All,

I just got Drupal successfully installed, and want to use Drupal to power an informational website.
It is NOT a blog, and thus should not have any "Posted by" or "Posted date" etc anywhere, but rather an intricate system of "about us", "products" "solutions" etc pages, as well as some basic contact information and some latest industry news.

Is it possible to use Drupal for this, with a horizontal menu on top, custom graphics (in a template) and similar?

what is necessary to let drupal search for relative urls and translate them correctly to the base url?

examples:
1.
base is: "/test/"
in /test/node/45 is a link "../view/46" this link should be parsed to view/46
2.
"#top" link should refer to the page itself

thanks

When I delete a term or vocabulary sometimes all the permissions are inactivated for all roles, does anyone know why???
