Hi all,

Might seem like a silly question but how can you determine which version of drupal you are running?

thanks

How do I know which version of Drupal I'm running?

If it's available, go to Administer (or Administration) >> Reports >> Status report. This will list your version number if you have Drupal 6.0 or later. In Drupal 5.x and earlier, the path to go to is Administer >> Logs >> Status report.

Failing that, look for a file called CHANGELOG.txt in the root of your Drupal directory and open it up to find the version you are running.

If CHANGELOG.txt is missing, you can also check in system.module for a line at the top like:

define('VERSION', '5.5');

If this is present, it will tell you which version you are running. If not, you have a version earlier than 4.7.2.

Hi all,

I was given the website made on Drupal by another company that we no longer speak to. I am missing a lot of tabs that you mention for example I can't see administrator even though I am logged in as an administrator, can anyone help me find out what version I am using as I am going through a lot of problems with the website?

thank you

There won't be an "Administration" tab actually. The poser was referring to the administration menu. Do you see the Reports link on your toolbar? It's possible that someone created an "administrator" role but still restricted the permissions.

If you go to your account page, and click the edit tab, what number appears in the URL? There should be /user/1/edit in the URL. If that number between /user and /edit is 1, you know you have full permissions.

To find out which version you're using you can also go to http://yoursite.com/CHANGELOG.txt and the version number will appear at the top of that file.
