Hi there,

I am new to Drupal and want to ask a few things.

I have a site running with WordPress MU (Multiuser) and I am not really happy. (I can do what I want: My WP-MU is a honeypot for spamers)
Now I want to setup a new site and I am searching another System how can gimme this features:

  • A new user can register very easy and quick.
  • A new user becomes a own subdomain with his prefered name.
  • A blog (or a new Drupal-Installation) is automatically setup on the new subdomain.
  • The user can change the given themes, plugins on his own blog/subdomain.

Can I reach this needings with Drupal 6.2?

I had rented for the new site a V-Server with 40 GB HD, 2x Xeon 2.4 GHz and 1 GB RAM, 42 MB php MEM.
Can I run on this environment such a Drupalsystem - if its existing?

Sorry, for this noobish post, but I am a Drupal beginner.

Well, I was exploring this site now a few hours and found a lot of nice things.

This plugin: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/blog a blogsystem for Drupal is for v 5.x.
The hint from the poster above: http://drupal.org/project/subdomain is also for v5.x.

Means this Recommended for... recommended or it works only in this version?
(Its a general question about this, not only for this 2 Plugins.)

Sorry about that, catcat. I failed to look at the version number before I posted. I'm use to the days before version 6.

There is a blog module in Drupal 6. It's distributed with core. I believe that handbook page just needs to be updated to say version 6 as well.

Also, about the subdomain module. Maybe you could submit an inquiry in the support section to see when or if that module will be updated to work with Drupal 6.

Cheers
