Converting to Drupal

Hi,

I would like to upgrade my currently static site, example.com, to be run with Drupal. I am intending to develop the Drupal version under example.com/dev. Once I am happy with the configuration I would like to move the new Drupal powered version of my site to example.com, replacing the static version.

Can this be done by simply copying the files from one location to the other or are there certain steps I must follow for this to succeed?

Cheers!

Hi,

I am facing an issue with URL redirection for drupal. Following is my scenario. I have a website http://www.abc.com/ which is actually the VIP of the Loadbalancer. I want the following thing to happen

I am in the process of evaluating options to replace a site that is currently run under Plone. I do not like Plone so this is a good time to get out from under it.

Here's the site: http://www.pluginpavilion.com/

One of the most important things to recreate is the concept where each company has its own space that they are in charge of maintaining. Can I do this in Drupal?

Hi -

I was asked to create a drupal site to host a blog. The blog was already being done with some proprietary software so I have over 400 entries which need to get into the drupal database.

I wrote a short little perl script** which manually takes the entries from a delimited flat file and then inserts them into the node and node_revisions tables. When I go to manage content - in the admin section, everything shows up fine, however I am having really quirky results getting them into a view. It seems that the views only want to take the first few dozen entries (the number corresponding to 'test' entries I did through the blog entry form itself) but will not recognize the rest of the data.

Am I missing an insert into a table? Is there some other table other than node and node_revisions which 'registers' node entries somehow? (If so, why are they showing up when I go into manage content? I can see them, pull them up, edit them, save them etc......) I just can't get them to show up in a view.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

** It is actually a bit more complicated than that because taxonomy and a custom field are involved. The script lies below:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

$database = "**************";
$host = "***************";
$user = "****************";
$password= "********************";
