Must be a very dumb question.....

Status: Drupal is running for +/- 8 months at my site. I want to add some modules, but I can not remember which version of drupal is running...

I looked AFAICS all over the place (source files/ database) but I can not find it anywhere.

Anyone?

thanks.

Check the file CHANGELOG in your Drupal root. The latest entry is your Drupal version.

I would call it good practise to delete all unnecessary files in a webdir, such as license but certainly what version I am running. Either rm them or put them in a protected .htaccess, removing them being the easier way.

It would be better if the admin could see the version of the drupal site administrating within the admin menu:

Thanks Steven, but like bert says 'delete all unnecessary files' is just what I did (couple of months ago).

I fully agree to have it displayed somewhere in the admin menu.

Any suggestions for a way to find out the version?

Look at the cvs IDs at the top of each file and compare with a newly downloaded tarball...

Drupal included a metatag in <head> giving the version number.

Then everybody would be able to read the version instead of the only person who should be able to know it; the admin. so security wise I would be against this. Best to make a small /admin/version page. Would be great if the modules would carry a number as well

Glad to know I'm not completly dumb :)

At last I did a CVS compare on 4 different tarballs and now I know which version I'm running :)
