The title says it all really. Im after some advice on how to create a login page and how to create a page where people can create a profile and the profile becomes active kind of thing once they have filled in the relevant details.

I would like the user to fill in details to create a username and password enter email details etc and for a confirmation email to be sent to them.

Basically i need to know how to create a login page that the user can login from using their chosen username and pasword, how to create a form for them to create this and the confirmation email.

Sorry if the above makes no sense but if anyone can help or point me in the right direction to a tutorial that would be great.

i will be using dreamweaver to design and have hosting with 5mysql databases,

ok joomla seemed to be nice and easy to install and setup but when trying to upload through my hosting providers ftp software it wont allow it. It comes up with an error message like:

cannot get contents list for .tar

I also tried the drupal which i managed to upload and then caused my brain to swell and my ears to bleed when trying to set it up lol.

IS there anything else like this around, preferably like joomla which seemed to have a nice and easy installation.
 
Right im back again lol

I have moombla uploaded and unzipped to my website. But now once again im having trouble installing it or even getting on the website. When i go to my site (dummy site being used as a practice run) www.brixhamauctions.co.uk i get a 403 error message saying i have to log in?
 
right ok where do i find those bad boys, i have looked tar folder and now see that there are files in there that have not been uploaded such as index.php index2.php and some others. Is it these that are missing?
 
oh my god look i have done it lol wwoooooo hooooooooo!!!

JonB thanks for all your help and replies its much appreciated!

Just one last question, how do i correct these things in red??

Thanks

I have started going through the installation now, i just entered all the details of my mysql database and then pressed next to go to step 2 but i now get this error log:

SQL=Invalid default value for 'rating_sum':
- - - - - - - - - -
# Table structure for table `mos_content_rating`

CREATE TABLE `mos_content_rating` (
`content_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`rating_sum` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '',
`rating_count` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`lastip` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
