Drupal 7 settings.php $conf error message - Use of undefined constant * - assumed '*' in include_once

The error here was

'Use of undefined constant site_name - assumed 'site_name' in include_once'


All I needed to do was to add quotes around my array element.

$conf[site_name]


to

$conf["site_name"]

Drupal 7 - Mac Os - Mamp Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘*’ (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.22/lib/php') in *includes/bootstrap.inc on line 3211

I needed to rebuild the registry and had a 'Bus 10' error with the 'Registry Rebuild' that's listed in modules.

To solve this on index.php add at the bottom


registry_rebuild();


This is fine for fixing on local but if you're doing this on local but if you need to do it on a server a much better solution is to use the module https://www.drupal.org/project/registry_rebuild

And then

$ drush registry-rebuild

Just as a foot note I also got this message

Fatal error: Call to undefined function video_embed_field_property_info_callback() in */profiles/commons/modules/contrib/entity/modules/field.info.inc on line 30

To fix this I had to install the Video Embed Field Module and enable from drush.

Acquia Offending RSA key in */.ssh/known_hosts:5 Message

When trying to run a drush command I got the following error.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

@    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!

It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.

The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is

*

Please contact your system administrator.

Add correct host key in *.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.

Offending RSA key in *.ssh/known_hosts:5

RSA host key for * has changed and you have requested strict checking.

Host key verification failed.

More than likely it's just been a change on the server and nothing to panic about. 

If you remove the file ‘known_hosts’ from  >Users>you>.ssh   folder , the next time you run a command you'll get to choose whether to add to your know host list .

Drupal 7 webform output country name instead of country code in webform country list

Drupal 7 webform output county name webform country list

What I have is the Country Codes being sent in emails where I want the country names.  This is using the module 'Webform Country List'

I feel like I should have been able to solve this with the module https://www.drupal.org/search/site/address%20field%20token  but couldn't get that to work.  If anyone knows how this is done then please let me know. 

So I've created a module that will do this for you and can be found at Drupal 7 Webform Country Token Names 

The code in this module is reliant on the fact the fieldname is 'country'  - if it isn't you'll either need to change the field name or customise this code.

How to turn on the Search ( Module Filter ) on the Module Page.

I'd made a hand full of searches and not been able to find the answer I wanted. - like

drupal 7 turn on module search

drupal 7 search module not working


What I needed to search for though was 'drupal 7 module filter '

Either install from https://www.drupal.org/search/site/module%20filter  or like I did enable on the Modules page. 

Mac Os Mavericks : How to download file without wget .

On a recent tutorial I was asked to install PHP Unit with wget.  To which I got this message

'-bash: wget: command not found'

Rather than installing this you can use 'curl'  .  Here's the commands I used.

'curl https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar -o phpunit.phar'

And then followed the next instructions the same as after 'wget'

'chmod +x phpunit.phar'

'mv phpunit.phar /usr/local/bin/phpunit'
