If I change the E-mail address in System / Site Information and click 'save' it says that it's saved but it returns to the original E-mail address.

Is this just me or is this known?

Did you install it using the standard drupal installer or a script provided by your hosting company?

It is very likely see #1245528: The email address cannot be change in the configuration page for info on how to fix the issue or at least confirm if the root cause is the same.

Using the installer is the problem. The solution is to manually edit the e-mail address in your settings.php file (may be overridden on upgrade).

/sites/default/settings.php

hi,

Can you help me further by telling me how to make the change in the settings.php? Do I add a particular line there?

Thanks!

Whatever email address is set now.. grep the settings file for that email address and replace it with what you want :)

Hi, I know that it should be obvious...:( When I got the site drupal was already installed (lunar pages). I downloaded the settings.php file to my system and checked, but there is not mention of email in it anywhere. Can i add this new email manually to it and upload it again?
