[drupal-support] Home always show the setting up site page
by Maykel Moya 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

I have installed drupal, created some users, but whenever I go to the home page I get the 'Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website. This me ...' text. How can I say to drupal that I have already set up and admin account and to show me the real homepage ? Regards maykel

[drupal-support] Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pg_connect()
by emdeex 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

I've just had a server restored and now my drupal database is giving this error when I try to access the site: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pg_connect() in /home/stonetil/public_html/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 28 I see that this is a PostgreSQL database connection routine, but I don't have postgresql installed. Ive always used MySQL. Why is drupal calling this routine, and how can I make it go back to using MySQL? The include database.inc seems to indicate that Drupal is looking to set an active database, why? Can I override it? thanks emdee

[drupal-support] Automatic updates check and upgrades
by Andrei Emeltchenko 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi all, I use drupal for a long time and performed several upgrades. I just think would it be better to automate update using some "check for update" button. Is it too lame? Also each time I need to rewrite conf.php file after untarring archive which is not handy. Since this info doesn't change during upgrades I propose to rename conf.php to config.php and store there persistent information which will not be rewritten by installing a new source. Regards, Andrei

[drupal-support] Clean URL's and Spiders
by Thatguywhowon'tgivehisname 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

I took a look at http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/sim_spider.cgi the other day and noticed that when spider-checking any drupal-based site that has enabled clean url functionality the spider doesn't fill in the domain name. Give it a try and see what I mean. I am not that worried since my pages show up in Google and Yahoo. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[drupal-support] Deleting orphan book pages
by Anisa 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Is there a clean way to delete a book (including all child pages)? When you're deleteing orphan pages (at administer > content > books > orphan pages), is it supposed to keep going back to the content screen? It'd be nice to be able to delete multiple orphan pages at once, but perhaps I deserve this problem if there is a way to cleanly delete a book. ^.^;; Anisa. Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself.

Re: [drupal-support] Uploads not appearing

I've finally got around to setting up a drupal site on Debian. I can confirm that there seems to be some kind of problem with file uploads. Files do not get uploaded the first time I try, but only on the second try (ie after selecting the image for upload again). Very strange. Cheers, Gerhard

[drupal-support] drupal.org template feature
by Abalieno 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

I've noticed that the official site uses two different settings for the layout by default. On the normal nodes on the homepage the comments are shown by default in a threaded mode, while on the forum they are shown as a flat list. Is this possible in a normal version of the engine or it's a specific hack just for drupal.org? All I know is that I can set a general preference but I cannot set the homepage in a way and the forum in another. -HRose / Abalieno

[drupal-support] How to center logo?
by Rick 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Hi, I searched: logo "and" center, but got no hits on both words. I am setting up my website and simply want to center the logo. I am using Marvin and got rid of the backgroud image with css. Now I want to center the logo that is stuck to the left side. I spent an hour in the fourms search also and could not find this info. I spent hours searching the css sheets with no luck. Thanks for any info anyone can provide, I will take guesses at this point :) Rick WhatonMars.com

[drupal-support] Again on the "remember me" option
by Abalieno 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

I'm still struggling with this problem without being able to solve it, so here I'll write more details and maybe someone will be able to help me figure out why the feature isn't working correctly and if it's a problem of my configuration or a bug in Drupal. I use a relatively unmodified version of Drupal 4.5.2 The only "quirk" is that the engine is in a /drupal/ subdirectory. So the real address is: http://www.cesspit.net/drupal/ To redirect there I have an .htaccess directly into http://www.cesspit.net/ which just contain a line: DirectoryIndex drupal/index.php This redirects to the subdir whenever the basic address is accessed. and it seems to work. I cannot install drupal in the main directory because the http://www.cesspit.net/admin/ shortcut is used by the provider to access the admin pages of the website, so it prevents drupal to work in the case I install it there. The other technical details are that I use PHP 4.3.8 and Apache 2.0.50 The .htaccess file in have on the /drupal subdirectory is exactly the one in default package. The only difference is that I followed the instructions, replacing <IfModule mod_php4.c> With: <IfModule sapi_apache2.c> This considering that I run the site on Apache 2. But this didn't produce any effect. The sessions weren't saved and every time I closed the browser I had to log in my site again. To solve this problem I had to directly edit the php.ini file in /etc/ So I searched for the session.cookie_lifetime and set it to 2000000 instead of 0 (the previous value). >From my attempts I realized that my site simply ignores what's written in the drupal's .htaccess. I tried to set the value in php.ini to 8000000 (which should correspond to four months) and the one in the .htaccess to 6000000 (which should be three months). And looking directly at the cookie stored in my browser I saw it always behave as the php.ini value, no matter what value I put in the .htaccess file. Anyway, setting the php.ini file solved the problem of the cookie. I use Firefox 1.0 as browser and I can see that there's a cookie expiring in May, about three months from now and exactly following the value in the php.ini. Now the session is somewhat saved. I can shut down the browser, reopen it and I'm still logged in. But if I don't go back within an hour or so I have to relog *again*. So the cookie basically works for some time but then vanishes in the void. Absolutely ignoring the fact that it should last at least THREE MONTHS. So, please, is someone able to figure out what is happening? -HRose / Abalieno
