Just started drupaling, and I've come across my first real mystery.

In General Settings, I can't get the first field, "Name" to update. The others are fine. Ideas? And short of them, in what table are the general setting held, so I can force a change at the db? Or, is that a really bad idea?

I'd be careful with drupal 4.6 , with the release of 5.0, 4.6 will be sunset. drupal only supports one release behind. so in the coming months 4.6 will be phased out and 4.7 will take it place, as 5.0 gets released. The 5.0 beta was released today.

you really want to consider this as there are some really exciting modules coming that wont get backported all the way back to 4.6

consider using 4.7 as the platform.

The environment in which I work doesn't update versions of available software as frequently as anyone would like.

Given that, we an unupdatable Site Name an issue with 4.6? Or, do the questions still stand?

Check the bottom of your settings.php to make sure you are not using the overrides in there. If you have the overrides uncommented, no changes in the web interface will take effect.

BIIINGO! Thanks, anner. I looked right past that.
