Before we start looking at Boost's advanced settings, let's run our Status report and check on our site's contributed module status. I have been noticing some warning messages appearing across the site notifying us that we need to upgrade the following contributed modules to their latest security patch releases. So now is a good time to do that. The modules we're going to upgrade are:
Devel module (upgrade to
6.x-1.18
)FileField (upgrade to
6.x-3.2
)
Download the updates from the modules' project page at http://drupal.org/, extract them locally on your desktop, and then upload the modules to your /sites/all/modules
folder. You'll be asked to replace the existing files. Click on Yes to this and then browse to your Status report page once you have completed the copy of the module files. You should notice that your Update Notifications are enabled and in green mode showing that everything on your site module-wise has been updated. We are ready to move on.
