Drupal multisite install
by Roger 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi Rolf, thank you. > You need to acces the sites by their name, so you > set up virtual hosts for your first (site1), > second (site2) and following hostnames (siteN), > all pointing to /var/www/html > With VirtualHost in httpd.conf I have one: <VirtualHost *:80> directives Servername site1 directives </VirtualHost> If I set up another VirtualHost for site2, apache complains about 2 port 80's and gives priority to the first. This has me perplexed. Can I not have a number of <VirtualHost> setups on the same port if they are accessed at different times? yes I restarted httpd after every test change. > > > > You also create hostnames for them, either in > /etc/hosts or with a nameserver. If your webserver > is on the same machine as your webbrowser, you put > > 127.0.0.1 site1 > 127.0.0.1 site2 > 127.0.0.1 siteN Yes I have this. > > Then you cp the /home/www/html/sites/default/ > Directory to /home/www/html/sites/site1 and > /home/www/html/sites/site2 (and > /home/www/html/sites/siteN). > > The installer should be available with your > browser at > http://site1 > http://site2 > http://siteN > Nope, It did not work and that's got me puzzled. I can access the test Drupal 7 site with http://localhost/first.com but not just http://first.com because there is a web site with that name which takes precedence. http://site1 is a folder in drupal7/sites, and is a copy of /default with the database name and password changed, I get my test index.html in /var/www/html but nothing from drupal. http://localhost/site1 produces a Not Found error message. I've deleted the error and access logs so will retry this evening and see of any helpful new messages appear. Roger

url alias and path auto
by Guillermo Garron 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, I hope I can explain this clearly enough. Here it goes: I'm having two issues one is, that even using url alias and pathauto modules (Drupal 6) I can still access my post with two different (or more) urls. here an example. /node/5 /node/5/3945 If you need me to give you the real urls let me know. Is there a way to solve this?, should it be done in Drupal, or should I use Nginx or Apache? I have this setup Varnish -> Nginx (serving boost files) -> Apache. thanks a lot for your help. Guillermo.

Re: [support] lock.inc problem? -
by Aissatou 17 May '11

Hi, this look like your database settings are incorrect. Check your settings.php and make sure that userid and password match your root user or connect to your database (phpMyAdmin) and check that the user on the settings.php exist and has the right permission. Hopefully this will help.

Copying HTML to drupal

I disabled CKEditor and CKfinder and just use the CCK tool provided with Drupal core. CKEditor, for me, destroys html markup by adding a lot of unnecessary tags, making the resulting code hard to read and in my case unworkable. I find it prehistoric and unhelpful. In CCK I have Full HTML selected, not Filtered HTML because I did not wish to alter the filters and Filtered HTML is very limiting. In CCK, I cut and paste or manually type html code including <img>, <p align>,<ul> <li>, etc. I find that colors and other markup have to be placed in the appropriate css files -not- in the CCK because they are overwritten by style.css, layout.css and colors.css in my theme. I alter line spacing in the css also. Use firebug in Firefox or <shift ctrl I> in chromium, I don't know the tools in windows or apple. I'm using a modified Bartick theme for this purpose and once I got the idea of what to do it became far easier and much faster to do html coding by hand. Plus I can have a number of different css text styles, for example: #h2gold {css; font; styling; here;} #h7black {css; font; styling; here;} and so on then call these from the CCK html Hope this helps, works for me.

Calendar with Views
by Iain William Wiseman 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, I am currently trying to run with the following. 7.x-1.0-alpha4 CTools 7.x-2.0-alpha1 Calendar 7.x-2.0-alpha3 Date 7.x-3.0-beta3 Views And cannot get them to play ball. Two issues * /Notice/: Undefined variable: entity_info in /field_views_field_default_views_data()/ (line /177/ of //mnt/RAID/WEBTEST/DRUPAL7/drupal-7.0/sites/all/modules/views/modules/field.views.inc/). * /Notice/: Undefined variable: entity_info in /field_views_field_default_views_data()/ (line /178/ of //mnt/RAID/WEBTEST/DRUPAL7/drupal-7.0/sites/all/modules/views/modules/field.views.inc/). And the fact that Dates do not show up in criteria, what used to be arguments. I am using drupal-7.0 or the core. 1/ Is my only option to move to dev packages to solve these issues? Or are there patches I can use. 2/ If I do need to update is there a way to migrate without losing my data. My assumption (bad word) is that once I untick and uninstall then the data is lost. 3/ Do I need to move to the dev of drupal too? I am familar with GIT and patches so ideally I would prefer to keep the current install and patch. Thanks, Iain

Saving Settings -- 403
by Brian Choc 17 May '11

17 May '11

When attempting to save the settings (admin/settings/site-information) I get a "Page Not Found" error. The log basically gives this: Details Type page not found Location http://www.../admin/settings/site-information Referrer http://www.../admin/settings/site-information Message 403.shtml Severity warning This is a multisite setup, and it's on a shared host which recently changed the server to improve performance. My best guess is that mod_security settings changed during the move from one environment to the other, but I'll have to open a ticket with the host. Any other ideas before I go down that path? Thanks, Brian

Re: [support] Tiny MCE and Wysiwyg
by James Rome 16 May '11

16 May '11

Wysiwyg_formatter did indeed solve the problem, but I had to go into their Issues to get a version that would work on Drupal 7. I wish they would put the patched version out as a release to make it easier for others. But the FAQ is wrong because the TinyMCE buttons only put in <span> tags, so the check box does nothing. Thanks, Jim Message: 4 Date: Mon, 16 May 2011 10:44:26 -0400 From: Shai Gluskin <shai(a)content2zero.com> Subject: Re: [support] Tiny MCE and Wysiwyg To: support(a)drupal.org Message-ID: <BANLkTinoEbx7_5NCqiHjELTHmkVMOo2oEQ(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi James, You need the the wysiwyg_filter <http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg_filter>module. Though the FAQ is confusing or wrong in this regard... the answer was close by. There was a link highlighted in pink with strike-through, "Tiny MCE and Filter HTML not allowing font changes." The answer to your is question is thus at: http://drupal.org/node/400216#comment-4472864 Looking at the post-times, I see that it is possible that *you* are @tjtj. Arggh, I wish this list were on g.d.o. Anyway, please write back to this list if you get your question answered in a different place so people don't waste their time helping someone who got help elsewhere. Good luck, Shai
