→Installing Drupal 7 on SME Server 8
== Installing Drupal 7 on SME Server 8 ==
== Installing Drupal 7 on SME Server 8 ==
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!
