Poor performance of Drupal 5 internationalized site due to lack of database table indexes?

One issue is that in Drupal 5x the i18n_node table does not have indexes where you really need them.

See the CivicActions post When to Index - Databases, Tables, Explain.

Mass Contact module sends to site "To" but not to BCC recipients

Solution: Updating to the latest nightly dev release of the module, from the 2007 November Beta, fixed it.

Back to the problem...

Mass contact module says:

# cid = "2"

 

Upgrade Drupal a version with an automatic patch

Agaric has modified version the shell command version (listed by Khalid right above the comments) to be a script that can patch Drupal regardless of the name of its current directory..

Agaric's version is attached.

 

Validation error on search form, contact site admin. But I am the site admin!

Search causes validation errors: how to disable caching for certain pages?

Not Boost!

Using search pages causes a validation error only when logged in.

 

Installing Munin, the site monitor named after a Norse god's crow

sudo aptitude install munin-node

sudo aptitude install munin 

sudo vi /etc/munin/munin.conf

# a simple host tree
[wsf.grassrootsconnection.org]
address 127.0.0.1
use_node_name yes

Skipping this for now -- and I think this assumes both munin and munin-node on one server:

How to configure and enable blocks in Drupal

Create some blocks first, the add block link at the top of the admin/build/block page

these blocks would be in different languages

then create a multilingual block, which will let you slot these blocks in. Again, I'm fairly certain you want something for each block even if you don't have a translation-- put another translation in.

from here on the steps are the same for any block
