For java related security, please refer to : 1) SecurityManager Class 2) Java Policy Tool You can restrict which ip-address is allowed to access the database remotely. Also, you can implement user login feature to authenticate/authorize the user.

yes, It is true that most plug-ins require at least one other plug-in(dependency) for it to work. However, 1) It is very easy to find a plugin for Drupal and you have got choice to choose from many plugins that best suits your needs. 2) usually you will find a link to depency plugin to install, when you install a plugin from a particular site. 3) It is easy to install plugin, one just have to unzip a plugin file in a particular folder and enable the module from the module administration page. Having said that, there are many common plugins pre-installed with Drupal like, blog and forum. Also, should you want to sell content/stuff there is ubercart plugin to sell items online via several payment methods. Drupal allows same user/pass to use with blog and forum.

I am new to this forum and I didn't expect the help to come so fast.

Hi, I recently installed drupal at my site, so I thought of sharing the experience with you .. Here are the steps to install drupal : 1. Download latest version of drupal https://ftp-origin.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-6.13.tar.gz 2. Login in to the CPanel with username/password provided by the web host. 3. Use the filemanager provided by the CPanel to upload drupal-6.13.tar.gz to your home directory ie. /home/your-username Note: /home/your-username is often represented by a home icon. 4. Extract drupal-6.13.tar.gz to directory /home/your-username Note: a ) select file drupal-6.13.tar.gz b ) right click file drupal-6.13.tar.gz c ) choose from menu extract option d ) specify the directory where to extract the file. 5. After extraction you will find a directory named drupal-6.13 in your home directory i.e /home/your-username 6. move the contents of drupal-6.13 to your public_html directory Note: If you want to install in a subdirectory under public_html, you can do so, this way your drupal installation can coexist with your current website installation. Now, since we have successfully uploaded the drupal and has placed in a proper location, It is time to setup the database. 7. Create the database from CPanel, lets say drupaldb 8. Create a new user for this database, or assign it an existing user 9. Please, note the database name, username, password, as we are going to use it later. We have successfully setup the database, now we will configure the drupal to use this database. 10. Use the filemanager provided by the CPanel, to copy public_html/sites/default/default.settings.php to public_html/sites/default/settings.php 11. Use the filemanager to change the file permissions of settings.php to read,write by others Note: This is required because, later drupal will try to edit this file for which it will need a read/write permission. 12. Use the filemanager to edit settings.php Look for line like this: $db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename'; Change username to your-db-username Change password to your-db-password Change databasename to your-db-name Note: These settings will be required by drupal to connect to the database. 13. Use the filemanager to create a new directory named files under public_html/sites/default/ 14. Use filemanager to change permissions of public_html/sites/default/files to read/write/execute by others. Note: Drupal save uploaded files in this directory, so it will need these permissions. 15. point your browser url to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Voila !!! we have come to the installation screen of drupal 16. choose the language in which to install drupal. 17. If all went well then, drupal should have done the following steps by now: a ) verify requirements b ) setup database c ) install site If something went wrong, you can post your queries here you should be looking at configure site screen now and drupal should be showing the warning to remove write permissions from the sites/default and sites/default/settings.php 18. Use the filemanager to remove the write permission for others in sites/default and sites/default/settings.php 19. Configure site, by providing: a ) From email-address b ) Username, password to be used to login as administrator Congratulations!!! You have successfully installed drupal 20. point your browser url to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ to access your drupal site. Drupal Home Page : https://www.drupal.org/

Hi all,Is there any way to view hidden files like .htaccess through the filemanager provided by cpanel ?Thanks

I want to add one more thing to it, hope it would make things more clear :-) Anchor tags are hyperlinks that make us visit other pages, so the default action of "onclick" in an achor tag is to leave the current page and visit the linked page. If we want to change this default action, then we should do like this: <a href="#" onclick="java script: dosomething(); return false;">click me</a> please, note the return false; statement in the above code.
