Hey guys, been awhile since I posted on here. I've literally searched all day on the drupal.org forums about this issue... all I really got was links to related threads that didn't solve the issue. I saw patches and such, but wasn't sure how to add those patches if they'd even work. I got to the point where I trashed all the modules and started with the core ones. the modules page still loads slow and I'm at least able to activate modules. But when I had all my modules and I tried to activate the CCK modules the system would get a fatal error and time out.

Hey guys. I'm having a little trouble setting my drupal 6 installing for multiple sites. I've been reading stuff all day on drupal.org and have no clue what I am missing. Newbie needs help if possible.

I understand how to set up the directory.(I think of course)
www.mthopebaptist.com/drupal-6.4 gets me in the main site. Basically its a missionaries site I've been using to learn the drupal stuff.

Now on the server I made a folder for another site I want to use with Drupal.
/drupal-6.4/ (is main site)
/drupal-6.4/sites/theoldpaths1611.com/

In there I have
theoldpaths1611.com/files
theoldpaths1611.com/settings.php
theoldpaths1611.com/modules
theoldpaths1611.com/themes

On my actual server I created the database theoldpaths. It has a user and password.

settings.php in theoldpaths1611.com folder was changed for the database theoldpaths as per the documents on drupal.org.

Now when I go to www.mthopebaptist.com/drupal-6.4/sites/theoldpaths... I get a "forbidden access" message.

I did check the permissions on the settings files and it's set to the correct permissions.

Am I missing something now? My server uses Plesk and I have no problems with the original website I made with Drupal–6.4.

Thanks for any help guys.... this is been driving me nuts lately. In fact I was almost considering just putting a new drupal install, but changing the folder to reflect the sites name, since it was so easy setting up the install initially.

I was trying to figure out the events module. What I am attempting to do is set up an itinerary like i have on www.perfectingthesaints.com.

I have no problem making event pages, but I was wanting to show multple ones on a page. I read a lot and was under the impression that views would do this for me, but I couldn't get views to work with events. Any ideas or online tutorials for this? I couldn't find any. I'm also putting this up on the G&G forums get ideas from others as well. Thanks!

This is what I have so far with trying to recreate the first link. I used a contributed theme, but tend on learning how to make a theme myself to look just like the first link. Which is why I'm sorry i missed Rob Feature's workshop :(

So I have Drupal installed and working find on my server. I set up bogus links just to see how it did, and they are there under "navigation".

But here is what I am wanting to do. I am wanting the main Drupal install to basically be for setting up someone's website. Then have them be able to log in and allow them to update context of their sites themselves.

What I have so far is a basic drupal install... and I created a folder in /sites called "testing" and I copied the settings.php into the folder from the basic install.

I'm basically wanting to do a multi site drupal.

What I'm wanting to do is create a user and allow that user to have access to their site I create for them.

Am I making sense? I've read over and over the stuff over at drupal.org and listened to some of the podcasts, but I'm just not getting it... Just trying to learn this stuff on my own, can't afford any of the tutorials or books.

Not sure if this would help but it's located at http://www.mthopebaptist.com/drupal-5.10/

Thanks!

I was curious if anyone knew or could suggest a solution. I currently do a few websites for missionaries. The last on I have done we had the idea of using a blog in order to post their prayer letters. And this way if he wanted to do a quick update he could.

I considered making an account for him on blogger, so he can just log in and do a post. But I wasn't sure if it were possible to have it embedded in the html file. I was wanting it to show up on his website rather than giving a direct link to the actual blog.

Anyone know if this is possible? And if so how to do something like this? It would help me out so I don't have to update the site myself and he could do it.
