drupal

I am still running the 4.6.4 of Drupal for this blog. I finally got the time to test the upgrade to the latest version(4.7.3) in my laptop.

Well, it's such a painful experience.

Because I have a new laptop, I no longer had the Drupal environment setup in Windows XP. I had to install xampp first, then downloaded a copy of this site to run it locally. Well, the first thing happened was that Drupal's clean URL was no longer working.

This was particular frustrating because Drupal should have come with clean URL out of box instead of requiring additional configurations. I had to digg around to find out the configurations because I no longer remembered them.

This page documents how I have used Drupal to create my blog site.

Blog software

My blog site is powered by Drupal. It currently runs on version 4.6.4. Drupal does not function nicely out of box as a blog site. Some configurations and additional modules are needed to make it nicer.

Modules to Turn on

There are the modules that come with Drupal distribution

• blog
• help
• image
• node
• page
• search
• statistics
• upload
• ping - ping search sites to notify updates of your site. This doesn't seem to work for my site.
• comment - I patched the file in 4.6.3 release because I want it to support captcha. Download the patched file here
