Installation process

1. We assume that you have some working experience with Apache, MySQL and PHP. If you still need to install Apache, MySQL or PHP, please install them now. The installation of these required packages is beyond the scope of this document but make sure your Apache is setup to allow .htaccess files so that drupal can override Apache options from within the drupal directories.

6. Edit your configuration file to set the required settings such as the database options and to customize your site to your likings.

-

7. Launch your browser and point it to http://yourdomain.com/, create an account, log in and head on to http://yourdomain.com/admin.php. The first user will automatically have administrator permissions. Play with it for a bit and spend some time getting used to the administration interfaces.

-

8. (optional) Optionally (yet recommended for smooth operation) setup a crontab to periodically visit http://yourdomain.com/cron.php.

8. (optional) Optionally (yet recommended for smooth operation) setup a crontab to periodically visit http://yourdomain.com/cron.php.

Use a browser like lynx or wget but make sure the process terminates: either use /usr/bin/lynx -source http://yourdomain.com/cron.php or /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://yourdomain.com/cron.php. Take a look at the example scripts in the scripts-directory and make sure to adjust them to your needs.

A good crontab-line to run the cron-script once every hour would be:

     00 * * * * /home/www/drupal/scripts/cron-lynx

9. (optional) Create your site's theme or at least customize the existing themes. To get started, head on to the themes-directory and make a custom logo for each theme. -

10. (optional) Add and remove modules to customize the functionality of your site. Adding and removing modules is plain easy. You can add a module by copying the files into the modules-directory and you can remove a module by removing a module's file from the modules-directory. The drupal engine will then automatically include or exclude this module. If for some reason, this seems to fail, "manually" rehash the modules list from http://yourdomain.com/admin.php?mod=module.
