> Make sure your .htaccess file is being read. Then make sure you have > the correct redirect command uncommented. Thanks, but.. sorry, how do I check this? I REALLY need to understand if what's happening is an error of mine and which one, or if it's a general Drupa or LAMP issue/bug > If you're trying to run your www. domain as a different site than the > non-www. domain, then I don't know -- I've never tried that. No, that's not what I want. I want mysite.net and www.mysite.net to be the same website. I just want to _advertise_ (when it will be ready) only the shorter name. Anyway: I have discovered two things: 1) If I click on "log out" in www.mysite.net then I don't see that hole anymore, but: 2) three days ago I had created (after the admin account) a second account, called My_First_Name with full powers (since I read somewhere it's good practice to use account #1 as seldom as possible). If I log in with this _second_ account, I still get the page: ############################################ Welcome to your new Drupal website! Please follow these steps to set up and start using your website: 1. Create your administrator account To begin, create the first account. This account will have full administration rights and will allow you to configure your website. ################################################################### if I click on "create the first account" I get an access denied page, so there seems to be nothing really dangerous going on, but this still seems very confusing, if not potentially dangerous, to me. Thanks in advance for any further feedback. O.

www.mysite.net security hole for mysite.net?
by dondi_2006 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

Hello, please help me, this is serious. some days ago I started to build a new website with Drupal 4.7.2 on Linux + Apache. I configured everything ( DNS, Apache, Drupal...) to work ONLY when connecting to http://mysite.net. Or so I believed. ten minutes ago I decided to continue building my website. Without thinking, I typed in the browser www.mysite.net and got the drupal page (with default theme) saying, more or less, "hello, this is the first connection, so this account will be administrator with password ..... Please configure" If I click on configure, I go to the administration page and can screw the website without entering a password! At the same time, if I type in the browser http://mysite.net I get to the website I configured (theme, etc...) and I _have_ to log in to change things. What is this? An error of mine, a Drupal/apache bug, both? How can I set things so that www.mysite.net goes to mysite.net, without believing that is a first visit, and that anybody can hack the site? TIA, O.

Users Unable To Change Themes
by Rick Friedman 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

I am running Drupal 4.7.2 on my site (which I am just starting up). Right now, I have the offline notice displaying when anyone goes to the domain while I configure it. I have enabled several themes for testing: Pushbutton (default), Friendselectric and Sands. Under the admin account (user/1) if I select "My Account" from the menu, I can change my account's theme configuration and select between the three, enabled themes. However, if I logon as a normal user and then select "My Account" from the menu, there is no option the user's account page to change to theme configuration. Normal users cannot change the theme from the default. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated. Rick

Re: [support] Primary + Secondary links
by Kobus Myburgh 09 Jun '06

Marc, That URL seems to be malformed in Drupal context - where did you get that from? It seems as if you're trying to add some CSS class to the URL. Could this be something in your theme perhaps where your HTML is not properly formed? Did you edit any of the module files directly? Based on the URL you provided, you aren't using clean URLs, so to get to the menu setup, you need to go to http://www.mondo-erotico.com/?q=admin/menu Regards, Kobus >>> marc(a)mondo-erotico.com 6/8/2006 5:34:03 PM >>> Hi, Since making a few changes to my site, these links are now not functioning. Can somebody explain how these relate to the Menu links I set up in the Admin panel? example - edit primary Links: http://www.mondo-erotico.com/%3Fq%3Dadmin/themes/settings%22+class%3D% 22active Gives 'Page Not Found', so how can I fix these? Just one of many questions....

acidfree/filemanage module installation problem
by david 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

I've moved filemanager module and acidfree directory to drupal/modules, and both appear in my modules list. Problem 1: I did this to set up mysql (as suggested in docs): david@test:~/howto $ mysql -u acidfree -p acidfree < /var/www/drupal/modules/acidfree/acidfree.mysql Enter password: ERROR 1146 at line 47: Table 'acidfree.variable' doesn't exist I assume I'm supposed to edit that last line in the acidfree.mysql file, but not sure how. Problem 2: I activated filemanager (check next to the filemanager name in the modules list and save configs, then gave permissions to authenticated users). When I try to activate acidfree i get this message: The 'Filemanager' module must be enabled for Acidfree to work. Please download it from the drupal modules site and enable it below. Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, David.

Aggregator not showing Catagorize boxes after upgrade to 3.7.2
by Wayne Johnson 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

Our admin just upgraded our Drupal to 3.7.2 and now I find that all the checkboxes in the Aggregator Catagorize tabs are gone. We tried http://drupal.org/node/47267 but that didn't seem to help. Don't seem to see anything else that might fit. Any suggestions.

free tagging limited number of terms?
by Anisa 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

A couple of users have asked about this in the forums, but I'm not seeing any answers. I have potentially big category called Anime Series, it is not possible for me to put in every one, new ones come out all the time, etc, etc, so free tagging is a great idea. I was cheating and using test posts to generate large numbers of taxonomy terms through free tagging when I found I couldn't enter in more terms than the actual length of the field. So, for example, I can't enter in 20 terms. Admittedly, at the time I was cheating, but in one of the planned features of the site, 20 Anime Series tagged for a node is entirely possible. I looked around the taxonomy module, and there appears to be a maxlength of 100 defined for a free tagging text field, but changing that just made the little circle thing go round and round when I went over the line. Beyond that, I don't know what to do and I don't want to mess with the taxonomy module code. Suggestions, ideas, thoughts? I think it's a bug, but...

Re: [support] Help with getting new site set up and running?

Marc, I have a few pointers for you: 1. You need a nice theme. Look at the Drupal themes pages to see if there is one that better suits the need of your site than the standard ones. 2. Your primary links are missing some weights (to make the order correct). Otherwise I don't see a specific problem? Unless you figured it out since you sent this mail? Regards, Kobus >>> marc(a)mondo-erotico.com 6/7/2006 6:34 PM >>> Hi, This is my first post here, and I hope somebody can help. I'm based in South West London, UK I've recently upgraded to Drupal 4.7, although I hadn't actually even set my site up in the previous version i was running. I've also installed a few modules too. Basically, everything is a mess, and I'm really not sure where to begin. I've been trying to figure Drupal out for two months now, and I'm getting nowhere. Here's my original website which I want to replace with a Drupal site: http://www.vidmarc.demon.co.uk/mondo-erotico/index_home.html It's a large site with a Home Page (latest UK and US cult DVD news), and news pages for 4 movie directors, plus extensive filmographies and other information.

I'm having trouble working out how to set everything up (i'm used to writing in HTML) so this is completely new for me. I'm also confused about getting graphic links onto the site and layout in general. I really didn't think it would be this confusing, sadly.
