Drupal Troubleshooting

The codebase I am working on uses hierarchical select with taxonomy to make it easy for editors to tag from nested terms. Pathauto is used to create the URL alias for the content type. We need both the parent and child terms in the URL, so use this token: [save-lineage-termpath-raw].

With the default PHP settings, Drush will probably get a fatal error because the PHP memory limit is too low. Thankfully, the solution is very simple.

I recently had a problem where PHP was timing out at 60 seconds when running a Drupal site using XAMPP on Windows (yeah I know, Windows and XAMPP sucks). I tried changing my php.ini file to 240 seconds, but it made no difference, it would still time out at 60 seconds. Here are the steps I made to fix this issue.

From time to time a user may not be able to edit a Drupal node and you end up tearing your hair out trying to figure out why. Sometimes the solution is obvious, and sometimes it is not. This post will take you through some of the main reasons for the problem along with suggested solutions.

If you are using Drupal on share hosting, you have probably experienced a white screen. You see nothing on the screen. You had might as well be skiing in a blizzard. This generally happens when PHP runs out of memory and is one of the biggest problems with shared hosting.

But do not panic. It is fairly easy to fix in most cases.
