hardening drupal for a live deployment
deployment, drupal, live, production, security
Solution
The status report on http://your-site/admin/reports/status will tell you if anything is not quite right.
Under the performance admin page you can turn on various caching settings, but test your site with them turned on before deploying.
There is a book by greggles for securing drupal, which may be worth a look.
Problem
Are there any special security measures to take when deploying a Drupal site to a production server? For instance: I can imaging that we need to remove install.php from the root directory. Are there any more actions? Or is there maybe a module available which checks the site for "world readiness"
