how can i tell what version of drupal i am using?

By scrawl on 27 Apr 2007 at 11:01 UTC

I have inherited a drupal test server at work, and I would like to know what version of Drupal I am using on it. The person that had installed Drupal has left. Hence the reason I don't know what version it is. Can anyone tell me how to find it?

Thanks in advance.

System info mod

I'm sure there are other ways, but if you're taking over this project you might also want more info on the server, etc... if so, check out System Info mod at http://drupal.org/project/systeminfo as it will also give info on the versions of PHP, MySQL, etc that you're running under.

cheers, reading this

Thank you.

If you are the site admin

If you are the site admin with access to the logs, you can go to Administer > Logs > Status Report. That should do it. No need to install extra modules.

Brilliant, thanks for that.

Brilliant, thanks for that. I had been looking around all morning. Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees.

Thanks

Thanks - this was just what I was hoping to find!

You can find drupal version in CHANGELOG.txt file (in your drupal folder), together with list of changes.

Should be more visible

I just had the same problem. I think it would be good to include this information someplace more prominent, like on the Admin home page. It's really not obvious where you should look for it.

Best of all would be a "About this installation" page that would give a detailed report about the drupal installation:
- What version?
- When was it first installed? Last updated? Are there newer versions available at Drupal.org?
- Have any of the core files been modified (based on file checksums)
- How big is the files directory? The entire installation directory?
- How many nodes, categories, files, etc... are there?

Administer -> Reports ->

Sorry, wanderingstan. I meant to reply to the original question. The status report you envision would be a wonderful thing indeed. Hopefully some developer is reading this and looking for an awesome module to contribute???
