using six steps to install a drupal site

1. Install apache2 and MySQL5 in Linux.

2. Download Drupal 6.2
1) You can obtain Drupal from http://drupal.org/. Now we use drupal 6.2(http://drupal.org/drupal-6.2). The files are in .tar.gz format and can be extracted using most compression tools. You can also use following Unix command line to extract:
tar -zxvf drupal-6.2.tar.gz
This will create a new directory drupal-6.2/ containing all Drupal files and directories.
2) Move the contents of that directory into a directory within your web server's document root or your public HTML directory:
mv drupal-6.2/* drupal-6.2/.htaccess /var/www/html

3. Grant write permissions on configuration file. use following Unix command line:
chmod 777 sites/default/

4. Create database with MySQL
First, you must create a new database for your Drupal site here, 'databasename' is the name of the new database):
mysqladmin -u username -p create databasename
MySQL will prompt for the 'username' database password and then create the initial database files. Next you must login and set the access database rights:
mysql -u username -p
Again, you will be asked for the 'username' database password. At the MySQL prompt, enter following command:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER ON databasename.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
where
'databasename' is the name of your database. 'username' is the username of your MySQL account. 'password' is the password required for that username
To activate the new permissions, enter the following command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

5. Run the install script
To run the install script point your browser to the base URL of your website (e.g., http://www.example.com).
 
You will be guided through several screens to set up the database, create tables,
 
add the first user account and provide basic web site settings. Use following unix command:
chmod 755 sites/default/

After you click save and continue, Drupal Installation Complete page will be displayed. Click “your new site”, you can use your new website now.

6. Add new module and theme into drupal
1) Install fckeditor module
•Download fckeditor module in drupal(http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/fckeditor-6.x-1.3-beta2.tar.gz)

Create new folder “modules” in sites/all folder
Move extracted fckeditor folder to sites/all/modules.

•Download fckeditor(http://www.fckeditor.net/nightly/FCKeditor_N.tar.gz)
tar -zxvf FCKeditor_N.tar.gz
Move extracted fckeditor folder to sites/all/modules/fckeditor.
