This guide shows you how to correctly install Drupal ( http://www.drupal.org ) into your Primary ibay.

* Create a user from the user panel and reset their password

* Enable ftp from local networks
* Enable ftp from local networks (I only allow administration of websites from the local network as a matter of security principle!)
* Give the user you just created the correct access permissions
* Give the user you just created the correct access permissions using the fix_permissions.sh script from http://drupal.org/node/244924 (Note: the contents of this file is at the bottom of this page)
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:

bash fix-permissions.sh /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html fred
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:
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:

This has been tested on 8Beta6 and the 8Beta7 release.

Note: You may need to delete the index.htm file in your Primary ibay so that Drupal's index.php file is picked up.
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!

For your convenience, I have reproduced the contents of fix_permissions.sh:
#!/bin/bash
path=${1%/}
user=${2}
group="www"
help="\nHelp: This script is used to fix permissions of a drupal installation\nyou need to provide the following arguments:\n\t 1) Path to your drupal installation\n\t 2)
Username o$
want to give files/directories ownership\nNote: \"www-data\" (apache default) is assumed as the group the server is belonging to, if this is different you need to modify it
manually$
script\n\nUsage: (sudo) bash ${0##*/} drupal_path user_name\n"
if [ -z "${path}" ] || [ ! -d "${path}/sites" ] || [ ! -f "${path}/modules/system/system.module" ]; then
echo "Please provide a valid drupal path"
echo -e $help
exit
fi
if [ -z "${user}" ] || [ "`id -un ${user} 2> /dev/null`" != "${user}" ]; then
echo "Please provide a valid user"
echo -e $help
exit
fi
cd $path;
echo -e "Changing ownership of all contents of \"${path}\" :\n user => \"${user}\" \t group => \"${group}\"\n"
chown -R ${user}:${group} .
echo "Changing permissions of all directories inside \"${path}\" to \"750\"..."
find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o= {} \;
echo -e "Changing permissions of all files inside \"${path}\" to \"640\"...\n"
find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw,g=r,o= {} \;
cd $path/sites;
echo "Changing permissions of \"files\" directories in \"${path}/sites\" to \"770\"..."
find . -type d -name files -exec chmod ug=rwx,o= '{}' \;
echo "Changing permissions of all files inside all \"files\" directories in \"${path}/sites\" to \"660\"..."
find . -name files -type d -exec find '{}' -type f \; | while read FILE; do chmod ug=rw,o= "$FILE"; done
echo "Changing permissions of all directories inside all \"files\" directories in \"${path}/sites\" to \"770\"..."
find . -name files -type d -exec find '{}' -type d \; | while read DIR; do chmod ug=rwx,o= "$DIR"; done
