Hello All!

So heres the story... Our company just acquired another company and their web site was built in Drupal. After tons of research (i'm not a web developer/programmer) I have gotten the site to the point where it displays the site but in some sections of the site I get the following errors (below). This is hosted on-premise with Windows 2012, IIS, PHP, Drupal 7, etc. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 2681 of 3219 bytes in DrupalDatabaseCache->prepareItem() (line 438 of C:\inetpub\drupal\includes\cache.inc).

I've had a Wordpress site for a few years and have had my eye on Drupal for just as long. Now that Drupal 8.0.0 is released I've created a Drupal 8 site in preparation to replace the Wordpress site. The only thing left is to figure out how to get the blog posts and their comments from Wordpress over to Drupal. In reality, I don't have many posts or comments, and have no issue manually copy and pasting them over to Drupal. I can do that with the posts, but I can't find a way to manually recreate comments and backdate them from the UI on Drupal.

I am succeeding in most ways, at porting www.tollandfire.org, into Drupal at www.ct-internet.com/drupaltest.

But the old site uses PHP's "curl" function to screen-scrape a small amount of text on "fire danger" from a CT state website (visible on the home page, upper left).

Trying to execute that in a block in Drupal gives me a security message flashing by, and then disallows the code. I have enabled the PHP Code function.

Dear all

I am in the process of trying to migrate my site to drupal 7, which I have never used before. However, I have been very impressed with it which has prompted me to attempt to move the thousands of pages we have onto a new Drupal platform.

I'm using migrate, and I've spent a lot of time learning to write the relevant classes etc. I have simple migrations working fine.

However, I have a lot of pages that cross-references each other: we're a news and podcast site, so we have a lot of authors who write articles and news stories and present programmes.

I am currently making a website using a simple HTML editor with linked CSS file.
I have only made the homepage so far...
I have chosen Drupal as my CMS and just wanted a bit of advice on whether I should continue to finish my site like that or start on Drupal straight away. If the second option is better do I just copy and paste to Drupal content types?
As a novice I welcome very much your suggestions as I don't want to double the amount of work for myself!
Thanks,
