(Part of the detailed Step-by-Step Installation Guide for setting up the Server)

The Drupal CMS has an out-dated Ubuntu packge, so we install from source.

We use Drupal mainly as a Blog

sudo addgroup drupaladmins

cd /opt

sudo wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/drupal-5.1.tar.gz

sudo tar zxvf drupal-5.1.tar.gz

sudo ln -s drupal-5.1 drupal

Add modules desired by Facilitators:
http://drupal.org/project/Modules

sudo chgrp -R drupaladmins /opt/drupal

Configure MySQL:

Configure Apache:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/conf/sites-available/drupal

cd /etc/apache2/conf/sites-active

sudo ln -s /sites-available/drupal

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
