Post installation

Being the compulsive fiddler that I am, I have just installed drupal and after much other fiddling and tweaking I came across the 'file system path' setting. Does anyone have any idea what it does? There are a couple of posts about it which can be summarised as no one else seems to know what it does either. However, changing it broke my install. All the links lost the ?q= section of their URI. I can still access pages but I have to manually enter the link in.

Hi,

I encountered a problem with the calender of Drupal. Bear in mind I am a newbie with some programming background (25 years). I have to say that PHP is new for me. I am studying it for several months now.

The problem
I saw that the current day on the calender was 1 day ahead. It was after 10 o'clock local time so I expected it to be a timezone problem. I checked it and the timezone was OK. I must be +0200 hour to match my local time. So no solution there.

So I searched for the code. I found the code in the Archieve Module. This is the code:

// Extract today's date:
  $offset = time() + $user->timezone;
  $start_of_today = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('n', $offset), date('d', $offset), date('Y', $offset)) + $user->timezone;
  $end_of_today = mktime(23, 59, 59, date('n', $offset), date('d', $offset), date('Y', $offset)) + $user->timezone;

I noticed that the variable $offset contains the timezone difference added to the time. Right? If we take a closer look you can see that $start_of_today contains ruffly the $offset (time + timezone remember?) and the timezone is added again. That is 2 times the timezone. Right? The same counts for the variable $end_of_today.

If I am correct that means with a timezone of 0200 hours in this case the time will be +0400 hours. Correct? I corrected it by removing the first $user->timezone.

Hi all. I've got 4.5 loaded and am using the Upload functionality. I'm having trouble uploading files greater than 2 MB for some reason. Can anyone tell me if there are limitations (browser, Drupal) in how much can be uploaded with Drupal's new attachment thing? Maybe I'm missing something in my settings?

We've set LimitRequestBody directive in Apache to handle at least 15MB files. And I set the Upload settings in Drupal as follows:

Maximum file size per upload: 999
The maximum size of a file a user can upload (in megabytes).

I'm using the new 4.5 RC installation of Drupal. I have tested out a 4.4.1 install briefly, but this is my first Drupal site, so I am still trying to figure out taxonomy and all that.

It says in the documentation that you can put multiple node types in a book... So, I went back and changed my book vocabulary term to accept two node types, a flexinode I made and the regular book pages. But I don't know where to go from there, how do I add items made with the flexinode to the book I made?

I have installed Drupal 4.5 RC. It was working fine until I went to the Admin / Modules and checked the Menus module to be "installed". After I did this (and saved the changes), I clicked on the Menus option in the Admin panel to configure the menus and I got an error referencing some line in the menus.module (didn't write it down). Now when I go to my home page I don't get a login or any "menu" options on the left side of my web page.

I did not try to install any other Menus module other than that which comes with Drupal 4.5 RC.

I'm a newbie with Drupal. I've been playing with the settings and quite happily building a new site from scratch. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but now my home page (http://simplesimon.info) is not displaying the dummy content I have created. I'm getting a page with a title "Page not Found". The content (a samlple story) is there - and works OK when I log-in.

Anyone seen this before and knows what this is and how to remedy?
I'm running Drupal 4.4.2 on a Linux/PHP4/MySQL shared server.
