Drupal wie nur ich es kann
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"
Vorwort
While all PHP-based CMS-packages perform what can basically be considered the same task, differences in functionality and scalability arise out of how those tasks are performed.
The U-of-M student offering sex as payment for web-services on freelancer.com probably ended up with a WordPress site. MTV and McDonald's use Drupal.
Comparing WordPress to Drupal is like comparing Justin Bieber to Rammstein: they both make 'music' and have German names (bieber is deutsch for 'beaver'). 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 than had the same been expected of Rammstein.
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
Das Inhalt ist noch zukommend.
Drupal 7.x
Hab' doch g'rad g'sagt das i' es hab'n werde wenn's mir auch lohnt~!
