Parent is not working across files. Filed support request: http://drupal.org/node/1262230

In an aliases file that lives with your project, so for our SDL project, sdl.aliases.drushrc.php, put in all settings that are true no matter who is using Drush and from where. This is the settings for an externally hosted development collaboration site.

Weirdest. Server. Drupal. Zen. Bug. Ever. Our client's site suddenly stopped working. With a server error.

Safari can’t open the page. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.example.com/landing” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.

Opera was just a blank white screen. But other sites on the server were still working.

• Features Extra block (fe_block) does not export block cache settings (from the contrib module).

Importing a CCK content type with fields, that had just been exported from an identical site (did some work offline) failed with the oh-so-helpful white screen o' death (aka whitescreen, blank page).

Found no reports about this in the CCK issue queue or online elsewhere. Through cutting out parts until it worked, Agaric has been able to identify the field calling the error.

Here is the problematic field's definition, as excerpted from the export output we were trying to input into the import:

Definitely best practice for all libraries that cannot be included on Drupal.org due to GPL or other reasons.

Dan discovers in the FCKeditor WYSIWYG documentation

Extract the archive and copy its contents into a new folder in the following location:
sites/all/libraries/fckeditor

So the actual library can be found at:
sites/all/libraries/fckeditor/fckeditor.js

Sweet! If only they were all consistent!
