Re: [support] Moving to a new host

Gordon and all, Thanks for all your help. The host has found some issue on the server thanks to your troubleshooting, and is investigating a possible solution. In the meantime he asked if I could ask the list if it is possible to put a port number in the $db_url for the database server? in other words, something like: $db_url = 'mysql://drupaluser:mypassword@111.111.111.111:3307/drupaldb'; where 111.111.111.111 is the MySQL database server? My gut feeling is that the string will not get parsed correctly, because of the fact that there is a : already in the $db_url after the drupaluser. Any ideas on this, please? Thanks!

locked out - site off line for maintenance
by david 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

I've just created my first attempt at drupal, apparently successful, until I did something with a button that said something about going off line for maintenance. Now I can't get back again. No matter what I do, I get the "closed for maintenance" window. Help?! thanks... David.

View module and node teaser
by Martin Tomes 31 May '06

31 May '06

I am using Drupal 4.7.1 with CCK and Views (from CVS on 25th May). It doesn't appear to be possible to add the node teaser as a field. This seems very odd to me, is this because it is difficult to do or just that is hasn't been added to the module yet? -- Martin.

DB error on upgrade
by Geoff Staples 31 May '06

31 May '06

In upgrading from drupal 4.7.0 to 4.7.1, I got the database error below. It looks like the column vid was already added and the data from uid copied as per the update code. I had to manually modify the table to make vid unique.

Updating from 4.5.2 (in CivicSpace distro) to 4.6.7 Drupal
by blogdiva＠culturekitchen.com 30 May '06

30 May '06

And of course, there's an error message (those who've heard of me know I'm jinxed) > Fatal error: Unknown column 'severity' in 'field list' query: > INSERT INTO civsp_watchdog (uid, type, message, severity, link, > location, hostname, timestamp) VALUES (1, 'php', 'Table > 'liza_dailygotham_2.civsp_queue' doesn't exist > \nquery: SELECT uid, vote FROM civsp_queue WHERE nid = 1856 in / > home/liza/domains/dailygotham.com/public_html/NEW/includes/ > database.mysql.inc on line 66.', 2, '', '/NEW/index.php', > '207.237.24.22', 1148953436) in /home/liza/domains/dailygotham.com/ > public_html/NEW/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66 I've followed the following instructions to the t : http://drupal.org/node/30699 And here's where I got in trouble : When I read step #6, I assumed it meant the latest version of 4.6 not the actual 4.6.0. is this a correct assumption? That I will have to upgrade to 4.6.0 first before going on to 4.6.7? What do I do now? I did not get any blaring red messages after the DB upgrade; but, am I supposed to get an update after each date annotated by the program? Also, would it be possible to fix this extremely important page by linking each version to the actual download page I'd have to go to?

clean paths - but /admin is hard-wired to another location
by Volker Wegert 29 May '06

29 May '06

Hi, I'm running Drupal 4.7.1 on a Cobalt RaQ box or something similar. The problem with this box is that the /admin location is hard-wired to their internal admin interface - this makes navigation inside the Drupal admin menu a little tedious. Even worse, according the the ISP support, this mapping cannot be disabled. Is there a simple way to consistently rename the Drupal paths e. g. from "/admin/..." to "/dadmin/..." or something like this?

links page
by Morten Holmstrup 27 May '06

27 May '06

Hi, I'm a newbie - you've been warned :o) I'm looking for a way to set up a links page. I've managed to install the experimental links package, and it seems to work ok, although I can't find a way to style it. Is using this package the best way to set up a links page, or should I try something else? My links page should contain categories and subcategories, and the links should have descriptions - much like Yahoo, I guess. You can take a look at my first feeble attempts here: http://unschooling.dk/?q=links/weblink it's in Danish... As I said, I can't figure out how to style the categories table, and I would love some help with this - how do I for instance move the two categories longer apart? I do know some php and I'm comfortable with css, but I can't get this to work - please help!!! cheers Morten
