Thanks to everyone who has helped get my Drupal install working. I have been playing around a bit with it and enjoy themes, etc.
I have been looking around for ways to launch my actual test site right now.
Currently I need to do something like this:
http://www.horizontech.org/drupal-5.7/www.horizontech.org
I wish I could just type in www.horizontech.org and the site would come up.
However, it is not "active" in a way that I can actually do this. I need to go through Drupal first. If I'm correct this seems
like it's still stuck in its test environment. This is not a problem as there are still quite a few things I need to do.
More clearly:
I don't know how to
get my content from http://www.horizontech.org/drupal-5.7/www.horizontech.org to www.horizontech.org.
See what I'm saying? It's not a "real" site yet.
Right now www.horizontech.org is just a few links, including drupal. I'm going to keep researching today.
I want to find:
1. The php files created by Drupal in order to start digging into the php code behind it.
2. How to "activate" my site.
3. More about modules and themes.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Cheers,
Brandt

It's the webserver
You need to get the webserver to serve your drupal5.7 directory as the root directory for the site instead of listing the parent directory.
Alternatively, you can pull everything out of the drupal directory (including folders and hidden files) and move it up so that the contents of the drupal directory gets put into the root.
That's a good start...
That's a good start, thanks... it's along the lines of what I was thinking of. Now, do I need to modify .htaccess in any way I'm wondering?
