How to find version of Drupal installed

Question

How can I know which version of Drupal is installed in my server?

Answer 1

You can also type:

drush status in your project folder. It will print out something like this:

$ drush status
 Drupal version         :  7.27 **<--**
 Default theme          :  garland
 Administration theme   :  garland
 PHP executable         :  php
 PHP configuration      :  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Drush\Php\php.ini"
 PHP OS                 :  WINNT
 Drush version          :  6.0
 Drush configuration    :
 Drush alias files      :  c:/users/spaden/.drush/pantheon.aliases.drushrc.php
 Drupal root            :  c:/Users/spaden/localSite/

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

For older versions you can find the details here: modules/system/system.module

One of my installs says:

define('VERSION', '5.6');

Answer 3

The really easy way is: go to your site, and into the Browser go to: view source.

Generally you can find:

<meta name="generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" />

Or just press: Ctrl/Cmd "F": And find the word Drupal.

You will find the Drupal version in the code without check anything in the admin.

Answer 4

This is defined as a global PHP variable in /includes/bootstrap.inc within D7. Example: define('VERSION', '7.14'); So use it like this...

if (VERSION >= 7.1) {
  do_something();
}

Answer 5

You can get this by logging in to admin. Go to Administer → Reports → Status Report.

This will let you know all your config information of the site including your Drupal version.
