This guide shows you how to correctly install Drupal ( http://www.drupal.org ) into your Primary ibay.
    +
=== Setting up PHP to work correctly for Drupal ===
    +
    db accounts setprop Primary PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary:/tmp
 +
    signal-event ibay-modify Primary
    +
    db configuration setprop php MemoryLimit 128M
 +
    db configuration setprop php PostMaxSize 112M
 +
    db configuration setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 96M
 +
    expand-template /etc/php.ini
 +
    sv t httpd-e-smith
    +
=== Setting up the overrides for Apache ===
    +
    db accounts setprop Primary AllowOverride all
 +
    db accounts setprop Primary FollowSymLinks enabled
 +
    db accounts setprop Primary Indexes disabled
 +
    signal-event ibay-modify Primary
 +
 +
=== Setting up ftp ===
 +
 +
In order to be able to ftp new themes and modules to your drupal installation, you need to go to the server-manager panel in smeserver and:
 +
 +
* Create a user from the user panel and reset their password
 +
* Enable ftp from local networks
 +
* Give the user you just created the correct access permissions
 +
 +
For example, say you created a user called '''fred''', then in order for '''fred''' to be able to ftp the required files via the drupal interface, then you give them permission to do so like this:
 +
 +
    cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/
 +
    chown -R fred:www .
 +
    find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o= {} \;
 +
    find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw,g=r,o= {} \;
 +
 +
Where '''fred''' is the user account you will use in Drupal to ftp the files (for example installing a new theme) and www is the account that smesever runs the web server under.
 +
 +
Lastly you have to modify the /etc/proftpd.conf file and comment out the "DefaultRoot" line ( I used the nano editor for this ):
 +
 +
    cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/proftpd.conf/05DefaultRoot /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/proftpd.conf/
 +
    nano  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/proftpd.conf/05DefaultRoot
 +
 +
Comment out the DefaultRoot like:
 +
 +
    #DefaultRoot            /home/e-smith/files
 +
 +
Now save the file by going pressing the '''control''' and '''o''' keys together, then exit nano by pressing the '''control''' and the '''x''' keys together.
 +
 +
Then you need to expand the template:
 +
 +
    expand-template /etc/proftpd.conf
 +
 +
To confim this:
 +
 +
    config show ftp
 +
 +
Should return:
 +
 +
    ftp=service
 +
    LoginAccess=private
 +
    TCPPort=21
 +
    access=private
 +
    status=enabled
 +
 +
=== Finally, you are ready to follow the install instructions for Drupal ===
 +
 +
Now SME Server is all set up ready for you to follow the Drupal installation guide at: http://drupal.org/documentation/install
 +
 +
 +
This has been tested on 8Beta6 and the 8Beta7 release.
 +
 +
 +
As a footnote, I would recommend only enabling ftp via the server-manager panel just when you need it so that it is not turned on all the time!
