I am a beginner and working on joomla 1.5. I have two question :
Does JOOMLA 1.5 support multiple sites within single joomla installation? By multiple I mean each site has its own different contents.
Does JOOMLA 1.5 support multiple databases for a single site?
If above features are supported by any other version of joomla please mention.
I am very confused by different opinions regarding these questions.
Thanks in advance
Shubhra, one of the Joomla! core developers, is looking for others interested in this, as well. Please see Topic:

Goodluck!

I just installed DotNetNuke expecting to have a CMS like the ones many people generally use, Wordpress, among others, but now I can't find what to do. It shows me a screen with options that take me to other places.
Can someone please tell me what to do to have a CMS with the DotNetNuke that I have installed, or if that platform is to create the CMS somewhere else, which is not what I wanted to do?
Thanks.
There are a lot of videos and documentation about DNN. Examples:

Just use Google... and the DNN Community Website to ask questions in the forum, read the blogs, see the tutorials etc. The community is always helpful.
I'm looking for a CMS or similar system with the following requirements for a project I'm helping out on. The basic idea of the project is to allow users in completely separate groups to have their own communities (sites) where they can do things such as book facilities, create and vote on polls, discuss on a forum and so on.
All CMS's probably have these features, except for the multiple separate groups part. As there will likely be too many groups for our admin to handle, all group admins should be able to manage their own sites (polls, facilities, users etc.). Different sites will share the layout and design. The available "modules" are installed and made available by admins.
Does such a CMS exist, or should I start inventing my own using a framework like Django or MVC.NET? Coding extra extensions to an existing CMS won't be a problem if one which satisfies our basic needs can be found. A good extension framework is a huge plus of course.
I've used Joomla in a different project before, but it's not what this project needs.
If you have any suggestions, please point me in the right direction, thanks!
I would recommend you to check Drupal and Organic Groups module.
I have got a project from a model who wants to build a site similar to oprah.com
I went through oprah.com and tried to find the CMS it is using but failed miserably. Does anyone has any ideas?
Moreover, which Joomla! components can be used to mimic the Oprah's site?
This is a custom built site, which was built ofver several years. I do not know about the CMS, but it does use J2EE, Oracle DBMS and Autonomy’s IDOL search and personalization engine and Jive’s Clearspace collaboration software for discussion forums and blogs. I would predict therefore that the CMS is either bespoke or another paid for CMS solution. I agree with pharalia - it is definately not an php-based open-source product such as Wordpress or Joomla
You could easily replicate this look in Joomla, or Wordpress or Drupal for that matter. Since I know Joomla best and you asked, I would use K2 with a couple of different display modules for a site like this. RokStories and RokTabs come to mind but there are all kinds of K2 compatible modules out there now.
That said, I'm not sure I would want to replicate a site this old. It makes some really basic mistakes that Oprah might be able to get away with, but someone with less star power is going to have problems.
Does anyone know what tumblr is written in? I have been trying to figure it out.
It's PHP...
http://www.marco.org/55384019
spiteshow:
I wonder if the Tumblr guys are using a framework or if it is all home brew.
Both: it’s a homebrew framework to add MVC structure and a useful secondary function library to PHP 5 that we started in 2006 and have constantly evolved into a very finely tuned framework for our needs. The same framework runs some of Davidville’s former consulting-client sites as well as all of my personal sites and projects. It’s not available publicly anywhere, but we may release it in the future.
The lead developer's blog features a lot of PHP-related material, and Tumblr was advertising for PHP developers a while ago. This isn't strong evidence, but it's possibly indicative and it's the best I could find.
Here's the full stack as of 2013.
"We're a LAMP based stack (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) with Scala for our many services. Other pieces of tech we use currently in production are Memcached, Varnish and Redis."

I just logged in to my account and added the index.php and it worked, so it must be php.

I'm looking for [preferably free] software that's designed to support Parent Teacher Association websites. CMS seem like the right place to start. I'm sure many of them could be customized to support our needs (member registration, forums, document sharing, photos, bulk emailing, online payment processing) but I'm wondering if there are any specialized PTA software packages already out there?
Drupal is always a good first bet, with modules for everything you've just described. You can also take a look at Joomla. Some say they find Joomla easier to manage.
Drupal is very common and there are lots of options for hosting. Depending on how elaborate you want to get, it's easy to hire someone to set it up for you as well.
You have couple of options:
Drupal
Joomla
