Restoring from backup / cannot then save nodes as "published" as administrator
by Darrell Eifert 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hello -- I've been testing our Drupal 6 backups in order to simulate a disk crash. I'm using an rsync backup program to transfer everything under 'www' to a Windows network share, including the daily mysql backups created by the Backup and Migrate module. When I restore the files to an empty test subfolder inside www, reset the settings.php, re-install Drupal, and restore the most resent sql dump from Backup and Migrate, everything looks fine until I attempt to modify and save any of the pages. (Note that I am logged in as administrator). The pages are saved as "unpublished", and however many times I select "Published" just before saving the page the status doesn't change. Note also that the page comes up in edit with "Published" unchecked, even though it is published on the production site. I've checked, and Administrator does have "administer node" privileges. As this is my primary backup strategy, I would like to know some ways of determining where the problem may lie. Thanks in advance ... -- Best, Darrell Eifert Lane Memorial Library (603) 926-3368

problems installing modules
by Jonathan 02 May '14

Hi all. so, I have the new drupal update, which is 7.27 and the way I use to install modules is I use to goto my modules area in my admin panel on drupal and click the install modules link, then I would go to either upload a module or enter URL, in which case I have tried both. well, when I click install, nothing happens it just takes me back to the previous screen! and when and if I try to click the install button for the second time, it just brings up a black screen. in short, it doesn't even take me to the ftp settings for installing the modules any more... does anyone knows why this is happening? Thanks.

another problem in the newist update of drupal

Okay... I am sorry for spamming you all with email messages, but this is urgent! when either adding an account for removing an account from drupal, it has a broken link in it. look at this... "Not Found The requested URL /blog/admin/people was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at www.kjscradio.com Port 80" and that's what I get when either approving an account or removing one.

Re: [support] problem with https on localhost when trying to login

I did something else, something more time consuming but… Put (around midnight) the website in maintenance mode, turned off https, made mysqldump and returned the website to the previous settings. And then overwrote the database on localhost with the fresh mysqldump. Worked like a charm! :-) Thanks Roger. > On May 1, 2014, at 3:32 PM, Roger Bilinda <rogerbilinda(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> You can use drush to disable the securepages module, >> >> >> you can use this command >> >> drush dis securepages >> >> and then , you will have to vi or you favorite command line editor, and check if you have the these two lines, in settings.php, , comment them out: it is located in /sites/default/settings.php >> >> $conf['https'] = TRUE; >> >> $conf['securepages_enable'] = 1; >> >> >> oh ! >> and while you are in here , you can check this setting , make sure it uses the right domain. >> >> $cookie_domain = ''; >> >> and then save and quit, on vi it is :wq! >> >> >> and then visit you site, this time make sure the url in the browser is http , not https. >> >> >> I hope it helps >> >> >> Best luck. >> >> >> >> >> >> On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 12:04 PM, Afan Pasalic <afan(a)afan.net> wrote: >> Yes.

problem with https on localhost when trying to login

I copied a website to localhost (I’m using MAMP) and everything looks ok - until I try to login. It redirects me to https://dev.localhost:8082/user (using Acquia) and I get “Secured Conenction Failed”. How to turn the SSL request/check off? Thanks
