duplicating Database problem
by Roger 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Thank you. I had tried Backup/Migrate and gave up. It appears there is a problem with php and phpmyadmin, probably something to do with a data limitation in php. I don't know anything about this other than it has been discussed on the web. So I ssh into the server and did a mysqldump of the required database , scp the file across to my machine then after installing a copy of the drupal system on my pc I ran mysql to restore the database and everything worked with no errors. Mysql handles the process with ease. Of course none of this is available with shared servers and that's where my next problem will arise. Putting the whole thing onto a shared server with terminal access unavailable.

Cryptic error messages?
by Roger 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

I'm hoping someone can advise me on this problem. I set the Drupal 7.12 file system to "Maintenance Mode" Zipped the complete filesystem, copied it across to my machine, created a fresh database, Installed the unzipped filesystem. Mysqldump the server database, copied it to my machine and restored it to the fresh install database. Unset Maintenance Mode. All worked smoothly. The above results in error messages as below. Error is theme agnostic and too cryptic to be of help. Logs as below do not reveal helpful info. The fault seems to be an inaccessible file or directory. But which? Can someone please tell me what the destination directory is, where I can find it. Where should I look for more info, Google has been uninformative. I have set /tmp to 777 and created /sites/default/files/tmp and set that to 777. I have <File system><Private file system path> set to sites/default/files/tmp and <Temporary directory> set to sites/default/files/tmp I have deleted both - no change - error remains. Thank you in advance Roger Garland theme: "The specified file /themes/garland/images/menu-collapsed.gif/ could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured. This may be caused by a problem with file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log." Mayo theme: "The specified file /sites/all/themes/mayo/logo.png/ could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured. This may be caused by a problem with file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log." Same again for the Bartik theme. All themes are default with default logos. A strange thing is that the Mayo theme if left on default seems to work sometimes and when reloaded reverts to black on white. Location http://localhost/youth/admin/appearance/settings/mayo?render=overlay&render… <http://localhost/local.youth/admin/appearance/settings/mayo?render=overlay&…> Referrer http://localhost/youth/admin/appearance/settings/mayo?render=overlay <http://localhost/local.youth/admin/appearance/settings/mayo?render=overlay> Message The file permissions could not be set on /public://color/mayo-c617f64e/colors.css/. The error " Message: The file permissions could not be set on /public/...etc" changes each time the error is trapped.

duplicating Database problem
by Roger 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Using Drupal 7.12 I'm building a live site and wish to duplicate the database. I used phpmyadmin to copy the database on the server and cpanel to download to my pc. I keep running into an error: ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 27: Duplicate entry 'comment_publish_action' for key 'PRIMARY' I have tried mysql -uname -pword database < copied_data.sql copied the structure, have copied the structure only then tried to insert the data but get the same error. I tried deleting the offending INSERT INTO table but the error simply transfers to the next INSERT. Haven't run into this before! Where should I look for help please. Thanks Roger

Meta Tags for Views
by Swapnil Bhartiya 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

I am using D7 and want to create sub-sections of a site, lets say example.com/sport and example.com/science. I will use views to pull tagged content for sports, science pages. I want to be able to show meta tags for these pages so that Science page has Title as Science and then description as well as keywords. This way each section will be SEO optimized and will be easier for user to visit only the interested pages. This is important as we have domains like MyScience.com which we redirect to the appropriate views pages. So instead of creating many sites we can use one install to segregate content. I hop you get my problem. Best Arnie

Nice Menus Module problem
by Prothero William 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Folks: I am using the Nicemenus module to make dropdown menus for the main menus in Drupal 7.12. I set the config for the Nicemenu to have no block title in the "Main Menu Links" block, and it's set to <none>. But, there is still space for the title on the page. Obviously, ugly. You can see the page at; http://jazz.earthednet.org/ How can I get the navigation menu to originate at the top of the block? Best, Bill Prothero William waprothero(a)gmail.com

Restricting file download
by Shérab 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Dear all, I'm building a site on which certain files should be available for download: (1) only through https and (2) only for user with a given role. One possibility I see to achieve this is to (1) store the files outside of the documentroot and (2) writing a module that registers an URL such as download and takes a filename as argument. The module then should check that the connection was secure and that the user is logged in and has the specified role. It will then send the file. I'm wondering whether this approach seemsokay to you or whether there may be another more simple way to achieve that result. I'm aware that thee is the "private download" method in D6 but my understanding of this is that if it is enabled, then all the downloads will go through Drupal, e.g. css, javascripts, etc., which does not seem desirable to me and would anyway not be enough to implement what I'm looking for. Any advice or suggestion warmly welcome. Thanks ! Sherab.

Freetagging in Drupal 7 Taxonomies
by DTH 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi, I'm adding blog functionality to a D7 site. I'm using Taxonomy to add a list of checkboxes for authors to tag posts. However, people will always want to add extra tags. Rather than force people to edit vocabularies, are there any contributed modules that allow for people to choose "other" and then add extra terms on the node form? I don't want to use the autocomplete widget as (based on current usage), I'll know we end up with a ton of similar/mispelled tags, plus I want to force people to reuse existing tags/limit the tags they use. I'm aware of Hierarchical Select, but that seems overly complicated for this purpose (and I'm somewhat reluctant to use an Alpha release of a module with 143 open bugs on a live site). Thanks, David

Trouble installing Mollom
by Prothero William 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Folks: I am trying to install Mollom on a Drupal V6.24 site. I have uploaded the module to the all/sites/modules folder and am getting the following error message on my site, and Mollom doesn't show up in the modules list. Error: first two lines warning: file_get_contents(sites/all/modules/mollom/mollom.info) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/wap/public_html/includes/common.inc on line 3667. warning: file_get_contents(sites/all/modules/mollom/tests/mollom_test.info) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/wap/public_html/includes/common.inc on line 3667. I get 4 of these lines. I have Captcha module installed, but disabled. Also, when I enable it, the number of error lines (same as above) increases. Could there be an interaction between the Captcha module and Mollom, even if Captcha is disabled? Also, I've gone through the installation tutorial, created a free Mollom account, but am now stuck. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks, Bill Prothero William waprothero(a)gmail.com
