I've installed a site, and now I want to make a mobile subdomain site like this m.example.com. DB and content should be shared across both sites making mobile tools take care of what theme to display when etc. However, this problem shows up way before I get to the mobile part.
I currently run a wedding insurance advice blog that runs on wordpress. The problem with wordpress is I feel limited to what I can do because I've always been a Drupal user and so much more can be done with Drupal.
I want to switch to Drupal but if possible keep all the content. Is it possible to back up the database and convert it to a drupal database?
using D7 I noticed a loss of performance compared to D6. I found out it might have to do with the innoDB configuration. I would like to optimize the innoDb settings but since I'm on shared hosting that might not be possible. I copied the setting as found in phpMyAdmin below.
My question is: should work D7 ok with this configuration (so the problem with the performance is somewhere else) or is it better to change back to MyISAM?
And if so, is it safe to change all the tables in D7 back to MyISAM by ALTER TABLE table ENGINE=MyISAM?
I don't know what I did to break this but I have an installation with 2 sites. One uses the default directory and the other uses a sites/example.com directory
