The files directory error is just a permissions problem. You need to first make the private directory in ../private (outside of root). Then chmod that to 777. For your drupal directories, checkout this article: https://drupal.org/node/244924. This script rocks. Run it from your server root, not drupal and follow the directions carefully. This will correct everything within your drupal directory. I swear by this. Since the private directory is outside of that, it won't touch it which is why I do it manually - chmod 777 private. Refresh and that error will go away.

To define 'external' - I am working on a proof-of-concept for a client. I have written a drupal module which renders legacy CGI which uses my own python framework, which I have maintained for years. The content is delivered into drupal via jQuery ajax.

This is 'step 1' in migrating this very large legacy project into drupal.

The content of the legacy framework is created via a MVC strategy using html templates which have hard-coded css classes.

Is there a way to leverage drupal css classes rather than those which were 'hand-rolled' for the original?

This is an inquiry rather than a request for help. I would welcome any comments [except for "are you crazy?" :) ] and pointers to similar discussions and documentations.

Hi to all! After I updated my Drupal website from 7.23 to 7.25 I'm getting this

Public files directory Not fully protected Seehttp://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003for information about the recommended .htaccess file which should be added to the/sites/default/files/directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution.

Temporary files directory Not fully protected Seehttp://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003for information about the recommended .htaccess file which should be added to the//tmp/directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution.

On the https://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 it said under Solution "... upgrade to Drupal core 7.24." In may case it would be downgrade, right?

What should I do?

Thanks for any help, Afan
