drupal is still annoying…
My first attempt to install drupal resulted in a “500″ error. Luckily, I have seen this before. Upon deleting the .htaccess file, installation was a success. Ok, now, why do “I” have to add a /files folder and chmod it to 777? You would think that the developers would be kind enough to supply it with the install files and simply add an index.html file to it. Apparently, drupal Quality Assurance had the week off.
Now to attempt something easy, like, oh maybe changing the default theme color. Easy…how about impossible… HELLO, does anybody test this stuff??? Oh wait, it actually did write the files.
ok, fine, I will now remove the ice pick from my back.
/me deletes drupal, no wait, I can’t, apache owns some of those files.
I don’t think I should have to logon via ssh to remove files.
stupid drupal…

I am getting a 500 “internal server error” when trying to change colors with the default theme. Since the .htaccess file is owned by apache, it can’t be edited through ftp.
Way to go drupal.

I fixed the theme color problem by deleting /files/color and /files/.htaccess. Then I created /files/color and /files/.htaccess and uploaded them to the server. chmod to 777 and voila it works.
