how to get these basic modules

[numberwhun]

hi Sir,

Thanks. I search in drupal for the blog module, but could not find it... any clue?


Best Rgds,
Andrew

Did you happen to go to the drupal modules page and search for "blog"?

I hope that you are not under the misconception that if you install drupal and the blog module (which is probably a theme), that you will magically have a blog that works. You have to have some software behind the scenes that is specifically for blogging. (ie: wordpress).

I still get the feeling that you think drupal is some magical software that has modules to do it all for you. There are modules for many things, but drupal itself is again, a CMS. You might need to look up the definition of a CMS. I don't want there to be any confusion on your part.

Regards,

Jeff

(of course, if you find out that I am mistaken on the capabilities of Drupal, do let me know). :-)

If by "unix format" you mean that the files are .tar.gz, that is just an archive and compression scheme that even winzip can undo. If you look at the drupal documentation for System Requirements, you will see that both Apache and IIS are supported. Since you don't run IIS on Unix, I would truly assume that Windows is supported, you just have to unzip and unpack the tarballs with winzip (or the like) and then use the files inside as prescribed by the documentation.

Thanks Sir... Btw, does most of the hosting supports perl on windows? Including the blog and forum?
