Note: Drupal 6 includes a built-in update status module.
- When enabled could produce confusing/annoying version notifications.
- This is due to drupal6 being installed and updated via the APT package manager, instead of manually from the upstream source code.
Known issues:
- Drupal keeps redirecting to install.php: remove /usr/share/drupal6/tmp/install_redirect.php
rm -f /usr/share/drupal6/tmp/install_redirect.php
- The Drupal 6 installation will fail if client-side scripting is disabled.
Credentials (passwords set at first boot):
