Hi everyone,

Is there anyone who experienced these strange characters appearing on the sites replacing " ", and ' ' with different characters? I give you a link http://samuiexpress.net/?q=node/1034 ...

I have been seaching in the forum but seems no one had or is having this problem. I already contacted my host but they ae unable to fix the database encoding. This site is relatively large with over a thousand nodes, and remaking it is a bit tough.

I've written a desktop application that converts Wordpress blogs to Drupal 5.x (now in the process of configuring it for Drupal 6.x).

Could someone explain the meaning of the data field of the users table. I note that under a clean fresh installation of Drupal the data field for a user is recorded as such a:1:{s:7:"contact";i:0;}. For conversion purposes from Wordpress to Drupal, I've merely copied this and everything works.

This is a database question for a security concern.

I would like my site to have all administrative actions done in https, and http for normal user interactions.

I'm looking for a scheme where there is little doubt than the https mechanisms can't be bypassed.

Here is my idea. Using Apache and mySQL. Two virtual hosts, respectively https and http for admin access and normal user access. Pointing to the same database, but with different database user, e.g. respectively wwwadmin and wwwnormal. Use default Drupal installation permissions for wwwadmin, but restrict wwwnormal permissions to SELECT on every tables, and INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE only on those tables (or even columns) that require such access.

This does not spare me the task of setting Drupal roles and access control correctly, but it gives assurance that 1) an excessively liberal access allowed to normal users would be catched by the database permission mechanism, and 2) a hacker who guesses the Drupal admin password can't perform the administrative actions unless she also hacks the https authentication mechanism (which I don't specify in this post).

Here are my four questions:

1. Is there a starting point for the determination of the appropriate permissions for wwwnormal in the above scheme?
