Drupal question

Brian Stewart
MemberI know im dumb and its late but im going to take drupal for a spin for the sake of learning ;p
Now to my question lol
I want to install drupal and ive been looking through the new guide. The killboard i was having issues with is now up running and very happy at http://www.killboard.me If i want to install drupal can i do it on this dns zone or should i setup a subdomain ?
I was thinking in my tired state it may be better to have my drupal blog or forum as the thing people land on at the tld and then have killboard as say killboard.me/kb or such?
Apologies if this made/makes no sense i'll try and clarify further what i mean when i wake up ;p

hey Brian
.. as for your web strategy, I cannot comment but ..
Drupal is a content management system, so generally you'd run a site off it, with Drupal sat in your root directory for whatever site, ie:-
/home/public_html/somesite.com/public/DRUPAL_FILES_LIVE_HERE
as for your killboard forum, it could sit happily within as a sub-site.
.. then again, you could have the forum as the root with the drupal-powered site sat in a sub-folder, else as a wildcard A record:-
WILDCARD.someDomain.tld
.. or (more typically) you could have your forum as the wildcard or, as is the case with vpsBible.com:-
whatever.com/forums
whichever way, you'd have a single Domain Zone for killboard.me.
if you want a sub-domain as exampled above, you'd create a wildcard A record in that record.
if you want /forums it's just another page with no extra DNS record.

MemberIm thinking maybe some of this is above my level i might just stick with seperate packages to do seperate things.
apparently the new drupal download doesnt actually have the settings file in the package ive created it and the other one made all the dirs it says dont exist and 777 them and it still complains more than my gf lol
wordpress and phpbb here i come i think :-(

big cheers Brian .. keep it here: I'm determined to turn you into a VPS Pro :P
that permissions tut is next week now .. had to make way for a how-to about adding modules to Nginx, which fits with the Upgrade Nginx guide I pubbed yesterday.
and Joomla .. that will be within a couple of weeks (there've been a few requests) .. er, once I've actually tried Joomla!!

Memberthis is just my opinion...
going from Drupal to Joomla is a backward move... :D
If you are looking for friendlier cms/blog, yet powerful and well supported, you should go wordpress....
again this is just my opinion...
drupal and wordpress are SEO friendly out of the box, and they have very good plugin/module for SEO... not the case with joomla, and not to mention you cant have content with multiple categories in joomla.....
