saving a 4.X D installation
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, Is there a place where to find the latest D4? Yep D four! Was it compatible with PHP 5? Does anyone remember what had to be fixed to make it PHP 5 compatible. I'm getting some errors about: 1 timezone (fixed) 2 array_merge getting as input something that is not an array (probably fixed) 3 assignment to non object causing "Creating default object from empty value in" (probably fixed) But even fixing all the above... the site still doesn't work and I'm getting something like: {primary_links} {_BLOCK_.footer.blocks} {_BLOCK_.header.title} {_BLOCK_.node.title} ... Actually I'm not really sure if the fix I used for 2 (casting to array the return of functions) and 3 (ignoring the error @) were actual fix. It's just Sunday midnight and I'd really appreciate some clue to temporarily resurrect this site. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

HTTP 400 - BAD REQUEST when moving .htaccess to httpd.conf
by Ryan Chan 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hello, I have install latest Drupal, I come across with a problem: If I move the content of .htaccess into httpd.conf, the site is not accessible and error "HTTP 400 - BAD REQUEST" will be give out. If I leave the drupal config as in .htaccess, it is okay. However, I don't want to use .htacess in my production server, so anyone had experience in moving configurations to httpd.conf? (I am using Apache 2.2) Thanks.

Redirecting a deleted node
by Skip Taylor 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

There's a node (page) that I deleted from my site. I have attempted to remove it from Google, but they keep scanning for it. They do this for about 3 hours before giving up and believe the node isn't there. The only real harm is a really huge log file and a lot of 404's generated. I've tried a lot of the examples I found on Drupal.org, but none seem to really work. I have a feeling it's the address Google is using trying to get at. I'm not sure .htaccess can handle the '?q=' part of the line. http://www.example.com/index.php?q=node/1234&gccid=5810652&gcp=18 The site is on latest 5.19 and uses clean urls. I have no idea where they got their address from but it is the correct node number that used to exist but it was never addressed that way, always with a clean url. What I've tried in .htaccess: RedirectPermanent index.php?q=node/1234 http://www.example.com/newpage Also: RewriteBase / RewriteRule index.php?q=node/1234 /newpage [R=301,L] (yes, I positioned both BEFORE the clean rewrite rules) But none have any effect on the redirect and all these get sent to the 404 page. I'm out of ideas on this. Anyone else have ideas how to fix this? Is there a way (or module) that might let me redirect based on a node number? I haven't seen one yet that does that. Thanks for your help, Skip
