The Drupal databases fill up rapidly with logs of various kinds - access logs, cache, error logs, etc. For this reason, it is important to periodically clean out the database. Fortunately, Drupal includes a quick way to do it.

Drupal comes packaged with a cron.php script that does this work for you. It's a very short script:

pythonbrew is a Python version manager that allows for local Python installations. This is necessary because 1and1 gives us quite an old (2.6.6) version of Python, meaning that we either have to have the old version on a local machine to do local development, or we need to be able to switch into newer versions of Python on the server. Knowing how to use pythonbrew solves both of these problems.

- Created additional documentation: for using installing PEAR extensions for PHP
- Did further research on OpenID support, including reading the OpenID standard, reading through the official PHP OpenID library source code, and reading a bit through the MediaWiki and Drupal 7 OpenID modules source code.

1and1 gives us PHP out of the box, but not necessarily all the standard PHP extensions. This document shows you how to add standard PHP extensions (PEAR modules) to the default setup. You can read more about PEAR at the PEAR homepage.
Creating the .pearrc config file
For PEAR to work, you'll need to create a config file. This has already been done on the current server at:
