Drupal is a CMS
(Content mangement System) is reliable. I like Drupal for my ease in
loading the website, we just write on the Create Content and choose
Page or Story and ready dionlinekan our writing. Drupal CMS provides
easy solution for us who likes to create a website but do not
understand the language of html and PHP, and I know Drupal after
finding this link by searching on google.

Following steps
to install
Drupal on our ubuntu machine, First we have to
install a local web server on our computer, with the command :
root@server:/# aptitude updatee
&& aptitude install apache2 php5-mysql php5-gd
libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
When
installing mysql-server we usually are prompted for the password,
please use the password as you want and for the default user is root.
|
If
completed then we downloaded the package and the current drupal version
I use is drupal 6:10 :
root@server:/# wget
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-6.10.tar.gz
Then we
must extract the file drupal, with step :
root@server:/# tar -xzf
drupal-6.10.tar.gz
Then
make a folder that will be a place to install drupal in the folder
/var/www, let's give the folder a name udiniq and we have to put this
drupal extract files in the folder /var/www/udiniq :
root@server:/# mkdir
/var/www/udiniq
root@server:/#
drupal-6.10/* drupal-6.10/.htaccess /var/www/udiniq
Next we create a file folder in a
folder udiniq, where we will put the drupal files in the folder, and
folder must be changed ownership to a group :
root@server:/# cp
/var/www/udiniq/sites/default/default.settings.php
/var/www/udiniq/sites/default/settings.php
root@server:/#
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/udiniq/sites/default/settings.php
Be sure
to make drupal in mysql database that will be used to memanagement our
web database, the following steps and I suppose that database named
drupal : |
root@server:/# mysqladmin -u root -p create udiniq
(Enter the password mysql)
After the
database is created we need to determine what wrote that column will be
created in the database file, with the steps to login to the mysql
database :
root@server:/# mysql -u root -p
(Enter the password mysql)
|
mysql>
And to see if the database that we have made it had been ok,
then type the following command :
mysql>show databases;
If the
database is ok, the next step we need to create a column that contained
in the database and make udiniq username password for the database
drupal :
mysql>
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,INDEX,ALTER,CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLES,LOCK TABLES ON
udiniq.*TO'drupalusername'@'localhost'IDENTIFIED BY 'drupalpassword';
Furthermore
do not forget to activate the new permissions with the command as
follows :
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then out
of the mysql with the command :
mysql>\q
Do not
forget also that the memory limit for php in drupal is the minimum
standard 32M of default is 8M. you need to change the memory limits in
php.ini file with this 32 mega with the command :
root@server:/# vim
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini |
By pressing
the letter writing i please search memory_limit = 8M or 16M and please
converted to memory_limit = 32M
save by
pressing Esc:wq and Enter
Finally, 90%
drupal installation on the server computer is over and the next is to
install drupal on the web page, the following steps :
- Open your browse and type in the address:
http://localhost/udiniq and then you'll be guided through a wizard to
install drupal.
