Drupal/cheatsheet

My current (as of 2025-09-22) setup is Static/CGI/PHP-5.4

Take site offline

drush vset maintenance_mode 1

get a status and use --debug to get a bit more info about what drush is doing

drush --debug status

Check system requirements

drush rq

Clear all caches and then run database updates

drush cc all
drush --debug updb

List all the enabled modules (and themes). Add the --pipe -p option for compact output

drush pml --status=enabled

Disable a bunch of stuff all at once (and let Drupal figure out the dependencies that also need to be disabled.)

drush dis admin_menu,backstretch,ctools,features,mollom,seo_checker,socialmedia,token,xmlsitemap
