Comparing WordPress to Drupal is like comparing Justin Bieber to Rammstein: they both make 'music' and have German names (''bieber'' is deutsch for 'beaver').
Comparing WordPress to Drupal is like comparing Justin Bieber to Rammstein: on the surface, both make 'music' and have German names (''bieber'' is deutsch for 'beaver'); setting fire to both groups in a 'live performance' environment however, would reveal major differences in the raw abilities of each to provide consistent, quality, performance under stress.
Setting fire to Justin Bieber during a concert, while expecting him to sing campfire songs afterwards however, is going to result in far more disappointment

Drupal wie nur ich es kann

drupal.org

Many customers opt to use a CMS due to being technically-challenged; Drupal is NOT the CMS for these individuals. Drupal-users are usually professional web developers. As such, most have logically focused their intellectual efforts on moar-phun subjects, like coding and graphic-design, rather than learn anything about that boring metal box down at the Liquid Loaf used to host their always-flawless sites afterwards. Get my drift? If not, try googling about for "humor as an inherently rhetorical discourse"

Comparing WordPress to Drupal is like comparing Justin Bieber to Rammstein: on the surface, both make 'music' and have German names (bieber is deutsch for 'beaver'); setting fire to both groups in a 'live performance' environment however, would reveal major differences in the raw abilities of each to provide consistent, quality, performance under stress.

Versionen

There are three versions of Drupal presently in widespread use. Determining which version a customer is using should always be your first step after exhausting obvious explanations for whatever their issue might be.

Drupal 5.x

Compare the Apache PHP handler against the permissions in your customer's troublesome directory. Are they using SuPHP?

Drupal 6.x

Drupal 7.x

Hab' doch g'rad g'sagt das i' es hab'n werde wenn's mir auch lohnt~!

Common Causes of Issues in Order of Frequency

Your first step should be to ignore whatever bits of misinformation the customer is giving you. Remember, these people are web developers; this means they usually have no idea
