Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I have just installed drupal 4.1 following Documeantions' directives. since using the .htaccess that comes with the distribution will get my server spit out a 500 error (option xy not allowed here in the error.log) i have toggled htaccess out and instead i have set all the possible option directly in the php.ini . i dont get any kind of errors loadinng up the pages and so on. i can post stories and articles. i use the default style. but block positioning wont work: i have tried to change to left/right the postion value but nothing will change in the home page. i have noticed that users online block doesnt get updated (im surfing and im logged in, but i am not listed neither in the guest or in the logged in users) [i have added this info, maybe it can help]
if anybody can help pliz answer me to flevour_at_libero_dot_it or you can find me online on irc at freenode, channel #debian under the nick of flevour. thanks in advance.

al CreditAttribution: al commentedBlock left/right only works if your theme supports it. Many themes only have blocks on one side or the other, not both.
You'll need to download a theme that supports this. I have a gallery of screenshots of themes for Drupal CVS (which is now a little out of date, but not much) up at almaw.com[1]. This might help you locate a theme that supports blocks on both sides.
Errors related to .htaccess files are problems with your site's Apache config. Drupal's .htaccess is evidently overriding something that you've disallowed to be overridden in your httpd.conf.
I'm unable to verify the inaccuracy/failure of the users online block. It's possible this is related to options failing to be set in .htaccess. I'm changing the area and title of this bug to reflect the only bit of it that is valid.

Who's online depends on access logging being enabled. Drupal displaying the who's online block when access logging is not enabled is a problem (especially when access logging is disabled by default.)

How about something simple, like (untested):

I'll backport this to the DRUPAL-4-1-0 branch.
