 ====== 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 CMSes. We 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.
-===== 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.
+===== Pre-Requisites =====
+Drupal requires the following:
   * 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)
 ===== Installation =====
 Download Drupal:
+<code bash>
-  # cd /home/www/dev.sluug.org/
+cd /home/web/test.sluug.org/
-  # wget http://drupal.org/files/project/drupal-4.5.2.tgz
+wget http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-5.2.tar.gz
+</code>
 Unpack the program:
+<code bash>
+tar xfz drupal-5.2.tar.gz
+rm drupal-5.2.tar.gz
+</code>
-  # tar xfz drupal-4.5.2.tgz
+Create a directory for uploaded attachments (TODO: not sure if this is still required):
-  # cd drupal-4.5.2/
+<code bash>
+mkdir drupal-5.2/files
+chmod 2755 drupal-5.2/files
+</code>
 Change the ownership of the files:
+<code rootshell>
-  # chown -R www-data:www-data .
+chown -R www-data:www drupal-5.2
+find ./drupal-5.2 -type d | xargs -L1 chmod g+ws
-Create a directory for uploaded attachments:
+find ./drupal-5.2 -type f | xargs -L1 chmod g+w
+</code>
-  # mkdir files
-  # chown -R www-data:www-data files
-  # chmod 2755 files
 Create MySQL database (replace $DRUPAL_MYSQL_USER with the real username, and $DRUPAL_MYSQL_PWD with the real password):
+<code rootshell>
+database='drupal'
+user="$DRUPAL_MYSQL_USER"
+password="$DRUPAL_MYSQL_PWD"
+mysql <<-EOF
+  CREATE DATABASE $database DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
+  GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES
+    ON $database.* TO '$user'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$password';
+  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+EOF
+mysqladmin reload
+</code>
-  # mysqladmin create drupal
+Save the username and password in a [drupal] section of ''/root/.my.cnf'' for safe-keeping.
-  # mysql
-  	GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.* TO $DRUPAL_MYSQL_USER@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$DRUPAL_MYSQL_PWD';
-  	FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
-  	\q
-Load the Drupal Database Schema (enter password when prompted):
+Point the "current" directory, where the Apache instance points, to the just-downloaded version:
-  # mysql -u $DRUPAL_MYSQL_USER -p drupal < database/database.mysql
+<code rootshell>
+rm current
+ln -s drupal-5.2 current
+</code>
-Edit config file (includes/conf.php):
+Launch the site (http://test.sluug.org/).
-  $db_url = "mysql://$DRUPAL_MYSQL_USER:$DRUPAL_MYSQL_PWD@localhost/drupal";
+You should see the Drupal Database Configuration page.
-  $base_url = "http://dev.boochtek.com/drupal-4.5.2";
+Select the ''mysqli'' database connector.
+Enter the name of the database, the database user, and the database user's password (from above).
-Launch the site (http://dev.boochtek.com/drupal-4.5.2/).
+Click on the **Save** button, and you should get a screen saying **Drupal installation complete**.
-You should see the Drupal page.
+Click on the link to visit the new site.
-Click on the link to create a new account.
+Click on the link to create the first account.
 This first account will have full admin priveleges.
 Call the account 'admin'. Enter an email address.
-For the very first account, the password will be randomly
+For the very first account, the password will be randomly generated and printed to the screen.
-generated and printed to the screen. Record the password.
+Record the password in ''/root/.my.cnf'' for safe-keeping.
+Change the user's time zone.
-===== Configuration =====
+Set up a cron job to do some housekeeping activities once every hour, and run it once initially:
+<code rootshell>
+echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nwget -O - -q http://test.sluug.org/cron.php' > /etc/cron.hourly/drupal
+chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/drupal
