I just moved a site from Mambo to Drupal. It's been working great in a subdomain for testing, however once I moved it to the main place the server went down due to the number of page requests!
After looking at the logs I found the problem. Many people and sites were/are hotlinking some of the images hosted in my server, the problem is that those images are no longer available, so the url rewriting defined in Drupal's .htaccess routes them to index.php. The result is that everytime I enable the .htaccess, after a couple of minuttes the server is unresponsive :(
I'm having trouble adding feeds. I can add a feed but all I see is the orange XML box. How do I get it display the actual information generated by the feed(the front end)?
Just tried running tar -zxvf drupal-4.6.0.tgz on my RedHat Fedora machine and and i got this:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
After looking around a bit, I tried renaming the file with tar.gz and then I tried running just tar -xvf without the z, but to no avail.
Needless to say, I'm not a tar expert, and I'm not sure why this is happening. A few weeks ago I installed 4.5.2 on this same machine and had no problems running the installation from the command line.
I've got the multi-site feature working yesterday, and things are great with site-specific modules & themes. But what about the 'files' directory? What should I put as the files path in admin/settings? ('files' or 'sites/some-domain.com/files' or something else)
Ideally, I would want the directory, which mostly contain files uploaded via uplode.module, to reside in eash site's sub directory and not share a single directory. But I'm a bit confused if this is the case now or not.
