Trouble shooting

  • When upgrading some modules you must first delete the old version of the folder and then install the new version. For example with OG rc4 upgrading to OG rc5 you must do this.
  • Note to reinstall you must remove settings.php from the sites/default directory, this will tell the installer to run.
  • To enable clean URLs you may need to edit the .htaccess file in the drupal directory and add the RewriteBase /drupal.
