Hi all,

I am trying to upgrade from 4.7.3 to 4.7.4 but it gives me errors when updating:

First I receive:

An HTTP error 403 occured. update.php?op=do_update

then looking at the log:

Duplicate column name 'cache' query: ALTER TABLE sessions ADD cache int(11) NOT NULL default '0' AFTER timestamp in /opt/www/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 121.

Did restore from back-up, get same error after re-running update script.

Any ideas?

Ive got a drupal site hosted on sourceforge (swlpc.sourceforge.net) and I'm having trouble setting up the email validation and therefore am unable to get new users authenticated. Has anyone set up a drupal site on sourceforge and managed to get the email working? If so what are the steps? I tried to turn off email validation and use captcha instead but doesnt seem to be anything I can do to switch off email validation.

Is there anything in drupal or any modules that would support the integration of a social networking functionality in a drupal community website?
Like inviting friends, confirming friend relationships, giving attributes to relationships, etc.
anyone has experience with that or tried to build something like that?

Thanks a lot for your help

Jochen

I'm thinking about using drupal to build a community website, but I'm unsure about the scalability.
what's the maximum number of users drupal can handle?
is it realistic to build a community site with multple thousand users?

thanks for you experience

Cheers,
Jochen

Hi, need help!
I'd like to have a main screen that appears when somebody open my website, something similar to a welcome message for any user. However, Drupal shows the most recent created content default. What can I do? I tried the option "Mission", but it doesn't work under the theme I chose. Any other idea?
Thanks :D

I've been wondering some for a little while. Some of the more popular sites that look like their running an opensource CMS but they don't acknowledge it(cuz it might not be cool or something?). I've been wondering what powers sites like;
