Post installation

Hi, I'm trying to understand Drupal's inners to see if it fits my needs, but I'm lost in the sea of nodes, stories, pages and taxonomies.

In short, I need something similar to fedoranews.org: a different section for each user, where the user can post pages and stories, but separated from other user's content.

I found the artist and contextlinks modules wich maybe can help me, but if somebody with more experience has better ideas, I'd be really grateful.

Thank you,
Michele

I installed drupal on my home system first, so I could learn it before, putting it up at the hosting site and everything went perfectly.

Unfortunately there was a few things I didn't consider and the hosting installation created a few questions.

How do I make files secure and writable by drupal?

It's currently:
files Myusername Mygroup rwXrwsr-X

I can't change it to the Apache servers group and making other rwX seems like a bad idea on a hosted site.

conf.php

Is world readable, security problem again since it contains the mysql password.

If I enable most modules, Drupal 4.5.0-rc1 uses to much memory and hit 8MB memory limit of the hosting site. I haven't run rc1 at home yet, so not sure if it's a hosting site issue or rc1 issue. Isn't 8MB default memory limit?

Even when I enable the linebreak enhancement, it still makes everything I type one line in the restricted HTML mode (Full HTML works). Looking at the formatting guidelines when typing this, I can see they contain
and

, but those is not configured in rc1 out of the box. It was in fact rc1's default Allowed HTML tags that doesn't allow for the auto linebreaker to work, updating to use the Allowed HTML tags from drupal.org fixed it.

"The configuration options have been saved." this line is ontop of every page I view, doesn't matter if it's in configuration or elsewhere, it's a parment part of pages now.

Alright, I'm not sure what happenned, because one day my Cron jobs worked fine, the next, they didn't.

i have setup my comments so that Anonymous users can post without moderation and can enter their personal information, including their own website

however, the form requires that a user types http:// else it kicks up an error

is there a way to modify the comment.module so that it can automatically enter http:// if a user just types www.myhomepage.com ?

thanks in advance

Hi all, I woke up today and looked at two of my sites that reside on the same server and both are dead. Both www.ishizaka-san.com and www.kerryturner.com give the same errors (listed below). The database seems to be fine, phpinfo doesn't show anything wrong, the server is operating perfectly - what am I missing? Thanks for ideas - Robert

I have my site up and running but noticed what may be a bug in the search module and I'm wondering if anyone else can confirm the behaviour I am seeing. If so I will submit a bug report, but I wanted to check with all of you here first.

In general search works fine. My site is being indexed regularly via cron and I can do searches that produce results. However, if I do a search that includes a "noise" word - no results are returned.

For example. I have a page that includes the following sentence:

"We are committed to the education of clients and the..." etc.
