You now can install Drupal with one click in Amahi!

If you would like to use a lower version, or are feeling adventurous, you will need to manually install Drupal as a web-app. Here are some steps to help you along.

  1. Use the instructions here to help you create the web-app from the control panel and create an associated database.
  2. Download your Drupal tarball and install. The second page of this presentation is very helpful.
  3. Now open your Drupal app and complete Drupal's initial setup. You may have to check the readme for specific instructions.
  4. You will now need to change the app's conf file to allow Drupal to have full functionality.
  • Use these instructions to find Drupal's conf file.
  • Once you have opened the file, find the portion that looks like this:
text code
​<Directory "/var/hda/web-apps/drupal/html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI AddHandler fcgid-script .fcg AllowOverride AuthConfig Order allow,deny​


You need to change the AllowOverride value to all. Here, you'll see that the default is commented out (#) and the new value is added below:

text code
​<Directory "/var/hda/web-apps/drupal/html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI AddHandler fcgid-script .fcg #AllowOverride AuthConfig AllowOverride all Order allow,deny​


After restarting apache services, your Drupal installation should be ready for action.

bash code
​service httpd restart​
