24.207.253.154 Add lots of modules and themes. Update MySQL database creation. (CMB)
Line 1: Line 1:
 ====== Drupal ====== ====== Drupal ======
 +[[http://​drupal.org | Drupal]] is a popular Content Management System (CMS). It is used to handle web sites that include various components of functionality.
  
-These instructions detail how to install ​Drupal ​(4.5.2) on our Debian 3.1 (RC) system.+We chose Drupal ​after considering a few other CMSesWe tried installing and using a few others, and came to the conclusion that Drupal is the most flexible, and comes closest to meeting ​our requirements.
  
 +We <​del>​considered</​del>​ tried using a pre-release version of Drupal 6, but had to revert to Drupal 5. Even though Drupal 6 is in code freeze and is set to be released in a few months, very few modules and themes have support for it yet.
  
 ===== Requirements ===== ===== Requirements =====
 +We evaluated several CMS packages to see which one best meets our needs.
 +We used the following criteria:
 +  * Must be Open Source / Free Software
 +    * Active community, so we know it'll be well supported into the future
 +  * Looks like a "​normal"​ web site, with mostly static content
 +    * Packages like Plone and PHP-Nuke pretty much fail in this respect
 +    * Most Wikis fail in this respect
 +  * Editing a page is moderately easy, using wiki-like syntax or a WYSIWYG
 +    * We don't want to have to edit raw HTML, but would like the ability to
 +  * Accounts/​ACLs limit who can edit pages, on a per-directory basis
 +    * Different groups of people will have different access rights
 +    * Flexible authentication (LDAP, passwd, MySQL, etc.)
 +  * URLs look like URLs of a "​normal"​ web site
 +    * Allows us to mirror the structure of our existing web site
 +    * Uses Apache mod_rewrite,​ but the CMS needs to be aware of the rewriting
 +  * Should use modern standards and practices, such as XHTML and CSS
 +    * CSS is essential to making the site work well
 +      * Our existing sites were a mess of FONT tags
 +    * XHTML isn't necessary; valid HTML 4.01 would suffice
 +  * Not too hard to install or customize
 +    * PHP or Perl (mod_perl) preferred
 +    * Nothing more complex storage-wise than MySQL or PostgreSQL
 +    * Java-based systems are probably too hard to use
 +    * Zope is difficult to get working right
 +  * Expandable, so we can add non-static pages later
 +    * We'll probably want to add things such as a calendar of events, polls, etc.
 +    * Bonus points if it's easy to integrate 3rd-party packages
 +  * Site search
 +  * Templates, so all pages have the same structure
  
 +Other things that would be nice:
 +  * Site statistics
 +  * RSS feeds
 +  * Per-user configuration
 +  * Integration with MailMan
 +  * Forums
 +    * Especially if the forums have bi-directional gateway with MailMan lists
 +
 +===== Pre-Requisites =====
 +Drupal requires the following:
   * Apache   * Apache
-  * PHP (currently ​4.x only+  * PHP (4.3.3+ or 5.x) 
-  * MySQL (I think it supports 4.0 and 4.1)+  * MySQL (4.1 or higher) 
 +
