Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
Edit: It seems that the sections/folders
are being created when i look in my root-dir with FTP, but the
new sections isn''t shown in the "section manager". Just a ordinary guy from sweden...

Do you remember when installing the installer complained about
non-writable folders? You should also enable the private folder
to be writable (and all the other folders in order to correctly
use Drake CMS).
Furthermore, you should also update to
v0.3.5 before testing again the subsites (it's more stable)

I
have chmodded the folders that was shown as not writable when
installing drake. Not sure about the sub-folders tho.
How can i upgrade to the latest version then?Just a ordinary guy from sweden...

System -> Updates and install each update in the order they
should starting from that related to your version.
But if you do not enable write permissions, Drake CMS will
obviously not be able to write the subsites and database
backups
Ask more if you need help

I checked "Update Drake CMS from
v0.3.3 to v0.3.4" and clicked on the button (Update), but nothing
happend (i think). If i choose "Install", then i need to browse
for a file on my computer that i don''t have.
EDIT: Maybe it''s just me, but it seems that i
can''t change the title of the new site/section without changeing
the title on the main site. (Hard to explain.)
Let''s
say my main site is called "Sitename", and then i want my subsite
to be called "Another sitename", then the title for my main site
(Sitename) is also changed to the same title i choosed to the
subsite (Another sitename). How can that be? Is this a bug or
what?
I want the subsite to have a own sitename and
own news section etc. I don''t want the same news from my main
site to be shown in the subsite.Just a

Uhm...also other people experienced this problem, I think it
might be related to the files extraction (which is failing)
Make another try: when the patch installation page
appears use this url:
If it does not work, then you'll have to do the
following:
enable write permissions on the
private folder
make a backup and download it on
your computer
download Drake CMS v0.3.5 and
overwrite all your Drake CMS v0.3.3 files
re-install Drake CMS
go in the System ->
Database -> Database backups and restore your previously saved
database backup
I am sorry for such troubles but I
think that file extraction is failing because of limited write
permissions, however if you wish to collaborate I would be happy
to make some tests to understand the reason of the problem and
solve it once for all.

All seems to work now after i re-installed the latest version of
drake. One small question thoo... Is it possible to
de-activate/remove some functions in the admin cp for the
subsites?
I created a subsite for a small
organisation, and i want them selfs to be able to update and add
text/images on their site. I even want them to access the
admin cp for their subsite. But i DON`T want them to be able to
delete/edit something regarding the database and other important
settings.
BTW.. thanks for all the help so far. Just a ordinary guy from sweden...

The subsites feature is a pretty young one, so please be careful
about whom is given access to them because if they are admin of
the subsite they might make troubles! Of course
this should not be possible (subsites admin should not be able to
edit the parent site or even access the root folder for write
access), but I hope that with your help we can improve the
trasversal security.
Currently, you should give them a
lower level than Admin (in future you could give them the admin
level with no problems) to be more safe.
Specifically,
what things you think they should not edit? Before answering
create an user with a lower level (Manager for example) and see
if there is something you don't like about the permissions.
Then, use the subsite admin user and see what's wrong
with it too (for example, the file manager is probably wrong
because I think it allows to edit in the root folder!)
Many thanks to you, if you are going to collaborate we will
make this CMS suit your needs (and the improvements will be for
everybody, too!)

Hmm, ok... i''m gonna create a test user and then login to the
admin cp of the subsite. Right now i''m translating drake to
swedish, so i will inform you how it goes with the admin "thing"
on the subsite later today. Just a ordinary guy from sweden...
However please note that Drake is evolving, so you might need
to update the translation in future versions
I have
created an account on sourceforge now since there wasn''t any
swedish translation started. How can i become a official
translater then? Just a ordinary guy
