drupal 7 installation

drupal 7 installation

Step 1: Download and extract Drupal

Downloading
Download Drupal from the command line

  wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz

Note: Replace http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz with the link for the version you want to install. (for example, if you wanna install drupal 7.43, just replace ‘drupal-x.x.tar.gz’ with ‘drupal-7.43.tar.gz’)

Extracting files
Type the following command and replace “x.x” with your downloaded version’s number:

 tar -xzvf drupal-x.x.tar.gz

Then remove the compressed version of the file by using the following command:

 rm drupal-x.x.tar.gz

Moving to its intended location

Now you need to move the contents of the drupal-x.x directory one level “up” into the web server’s document root or your public HTML directory:

 mv drupal-x.x/* drupal-x.x/.htaccess ./
 mv drupal-x.x/.gitignore ./
 mv drupal-x.x /var/www/html

The files from the directory you downloaded and decompressed have now been moved up a level into your web directory, and you can delete the (now empty) drupal-x.x directory:

rmdir drupal-x.x

Step 2: Create the database

Create a database and user using phpMyAdmin

 apt-get install apache2
 apt-get install php5
 apt-get install mysql-server
 apt-get install phpmyadmin

apache2 not working
[problem and solution] (http://askubuntu.com/questions/452042/why-is-my-apache-not-working-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-14-04)

phpmyadmin installation failed… modify source list…

deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

always waiting for headers…just abort it

modify limit of import .sql size
sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
memory_limit, post_max_size, upload_max_filesize

phpmyadmin page extension mysqli missing , apt-get install php5-mysql then modify /etc/php5/cli/php.ini add
extension=mysqli.so
finally restart apache2(but not restart mysql)

Note: This procedure assumes that you have root access to phpMyAdmin, and that you’re using phpMyAdmin 3.5.x.

Sign in to phpMyAdmin as the root user.
1. Click Users, and then click Add user.
2. Note: You can use the root user credential as well..
3. In the User name field, enter the username that you want to use.
4. In the Host field, select Local, which is a more secure setting, unless you’ll be accessing the database with this user from another server.
5. Enter or generate a password for the user.
6. In the Database for User section, select Create database with same name and grant all privileges.
7. Make sure you select COLLATION utf8_general_ci
8. Click Go to create the user.

Step 3: Run the installation script and check out the error

Step 1 - Navigation & Creation

cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php

Step 2 - Check the Permissions Are Writable

 chmod 644 sites/default/settings.php

Step 3 - Create the Files Directory

mkdir sites/default/files
chmod 777 sites/default/files

Step 4 - try to install

• PHP extensions Disabled
  just reboot server

Enter the database name, the username, and the password for the database that you created in Step 2: Create the database. This username and password information allows Drupal to access your database so the install script can create tables. Note that this is not the username and password for administering Drupal; these will be created in the next step.

Step 5 - Post Install Permission Check

 chmod 555 sites/default
chmod 444 sites/default/settings.php

Step 6: Configure clean URLs

run test failed, modify apache2.conf

 a2enmod rewrite
 cd /etc/apache2/
 subl apache2.conf

   <Directory /var/www/html>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
   </Directory>

apache2 restart

solution

private files or public files not protected:
https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003

copy .htaccess into default/files then modify its content as the link has shown
