Basic Assumptions

• This guide assumes you:
• Are not scared of CLI (and using bash)
• Will be using Drupal 6.x
• Have a little experience with websites
• Will be using /var/www for your source
• Will be using yoursite.com to refer to your site
• Were not offended here (we did say basic)

Drupal Installation

1. Grab the latest release from http://www.drupal.org

2. Unpack inside /var/www (Move everything outside the drupal directory)

Create Database

1. Create a database and database user
   • Replace $database and $pass with appropriate values
   1. echo "CREATE DATABASE $database;" | mysql -uroot -p
   2. echo "GRANT ALL ON $database.* TO '$database'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$pass';" | mysql -uroot -p

Create Website

1. Create website files (The Ubuntu Drupal team suggests using a multisite setup)
   1. cd /var/www/sites
   2. mkdir -p yoursite.com/{files,modules,themes}
   3. cp default/default.settings.php yoursite.com/settings.php
   4. chmod 777 yoursite.com/settings.php yoursite.com/files
2. Grab the latest module/theme builds

   1. Alternatively, you can grab a latest stable from the ubuntu-drupal project

   2. cd /var/www/sites/yoursite.com
   3. If you DO NOT have a Launchpad account:

      1. bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-modules/ubuntu-drupal-openid/6.x modules/openid

      2. bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-modules/ubuntu-drupal-launchpad/6.x modules/openid_launchpad

      3. bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-modules/ubuntu-drupal-teams/6.x modules/openid_teams

      4. bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-modules/drupal-planet/6.x modules/planet

      5. bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-themes/ubuntu-drupal-theme/6.x themes/ubuntu-loco

      If you DO have a launchpad account:
      1. bzr launchpad-login
      2. bzr branch lp:ubuntu-drupal-openid modules/openid
      3. bzr branch lp:ubuntu-drupal-launchpad modules/openid_launchpad
      4. bzr branch lp:ubuntu-drupal-teams modules/openid_teams
      5. bzr branch lp:drupal-planet modules/planet
      6. bzr branch lp:ubuntu-drupal-theme themes/ubuntu-loco
3. Create entry in hosts file for loopback

   1. echo "127.0.0.1 yoursite.com" >> /etc/hosts

Finish Installation

1. Go to yoursite.com
2. Perform a standard installation
   1. "Install Drupal in Language"
   2. Enter details from "Create Database" section"
   3. Toss in standard info
   4. Click "You may now visit your new site."
3. Clean up permissions
   1. chmod 774 /var/www/sites/yoursite.com/*

Setup Site

1. Go to yoursite.com/admin/build/modules
   1. Enable "OpenID" in "Core - optional" section
   2. Enable "Launchpad OpenID" in "Other" section
   3. Enable "OpenID Teams" in "Other" section
   4. Click "Save Configuration"
2. Go to yoursite.com/admin/build/themes
   1. Select "Ubuntu-Loco" theme
   2. Click "Save Configuration"
3. Go to admin/build/blocks
   1. Move the "Launchpad Login Button" underneath the "User Login" block.
   2. Disable to login block (after testing)

   3. I usually set the "Block title" to "<none>"

   NOTE: Defaults past this point should be acceptable.

4. Go to yoursite.com/admin/settings/launchpad
   1. Verify server is set to production
   2. If you need your trust root added to Launchpad:
      1. Ensure this is the location you will keep your site at

      2. Ask a question in Launchpad

5. Go to yoursite.com/admin/settings/openid_teams
   1. If you have a Launchpad team, you can add it here and assign it to and existing role
6. Go to yoursite.com/admin/user/settings
   1. Under "Launchpad user options"
      1. These settings are pretty self explanatory. Ask in channel if you don't understand them.
   2. Under "User registration settings"
      1. The Ubuntu Drupal team recommends using "Visitors can create accounts and no administrator approval is required."
      2. If your trust root is verified, there's no need for the "Require e-mail verification [...]" setting
      3. If your trust root is not verified, you should use the "Require e-mail verification [...]" setting

Using The Modules

1. Log out of the site
2. Click the Launchpad Login button
3. You will be transferred to Launchpad
   1. Sign in here
4. IF your trust root IS NOT verified, you will need to provide an email address
5. Your account will be created and you will be logged in
   1. Your Launchpad ID will be used as the user name of the account
   2. Your primary Launchpad email will be used
