Drupal is a popular content management system (CMS) that can be used to create and manage websites, blogs, and online stores. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Drupal on Fedora Server Latest.
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Drupal website at https://www.drupal.org/. Click on the "Download & Extend" tab located on the homepage and select the "Download Drupal" option.
Alternatively, you can download Drupal directly from the command line by using the following command:
$ wget https://www.drupal.org/download-latest/tar.gz
This will download the latest version of Drupal in the form of a compressed file.
After downloading Drupal, navigate to the directory where the compressed file is located and extract it using the following command:
$ tar -xzvf drupal-x.y.z.tar.gz
Note: Replace x.y.z with the version number of Drupal that you have downloaded.
This will extract Drupal to a directory named drupal-x.y.z.
Move the extracted Drupal files to the web server root directory by using the following command:
$ sudo mv drupal-x.y.z /var/www/html/drupal
This will move the Drupal files to the web server root directory.
Set the correct permissions for the Drupal files and directories using the following command:
$ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/drupal/
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/drupal/
This will give the web server write permissions to the Drupal files.
You need to create a MySQL or MariaDB database for your Drupal installation. This can be done by logging in to the MySQL or MariaDB server and creating a new database and a user associated with that database.
$ mysql -u root -p
Once you are logged in to the database server, create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE drupal_db;
Create a new user and grant it privileges on the newly created database:
CREATE USER 'drupaluser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal_db.* TO 'drupaluser'@'localhost';
Replace drupal_db, drupaluser, and password with your own database name, username, and password.
Navigate to the URL http://your_server_ip/drupal/ in your web browser. You will be taken to the Drupal configuration page.
Select the language and click on the "Save and continue" button.
Choose the installation profile that best suits your needs and click on the "Save and continue" button.
Enter the database details that you created in Step 5 and click on the "Save and continue" button.
On the next screen, you will be asked to configure your website and create an admin account. Enter the necessary details and click on the "Save and continue" button.
