Hi, <div><br></div><div><br></div><div> Havent tried installing drupal using ubuntu, but why not give drush a try? Drush comes with lots of cool package manager kind of commands which makes your life as a drupal dev/admin easier. Check out drush at <a href="http://drupal.org/project/drush" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/drush</a> </div>
<div> </div><div>But would like to know if there are benefits of apt-get way of installing or maintaining drupal installations, though I think drush is much more advance and convenient when it comes to drupal way of doing things.</div>

Hi:<br>
<br>
I installed Drupal with the Ubuntu command:<br>
<br>
apt-get install drupal6<br>
<br>
In reviewing Drupal documentation about setting up files, modules, and so<br>
forth, many things don't seem to be the same in the Ubuntu installation.<br>
For example, the files are not as suggested in /usr/share/drupal6/sites.<br>
Does anybody know of a good source of documentation on what the Ubuntu<br>
installation does, where it puts things, and what we need to do as<br>
administrators and designers in getting started?<br>
<br>
Many thanks.<br>
<br>
Chris<br>

I both an ardent Ubuntu and Drupal user but I abandoned the apt-get package a long time ago. The current version in "universe" is 6.12-1.1ubuntu1 which means you face a immediate "core" update.<br>
<br>I host a couple dozen Drupal sites and my current scheme is to install Drupal in each users file space. Some users have more than one Drupal site so I used the pattern /home/user/public_html/domain_name/. Then I establish a virtual in "sites-available" pointing back to the user space and add the domain to /etc/bind. I wound up maintaining all of the drupal installations anyway to having unique "core" installations only increased my maintenance.<br>
<br>I am about to move them all to "multisite" and point "sites/domain_name" back to user space preserving user ability to modify their modules, themes and files via ftp. With reluctance, I offer an "old" install-script - <a href="http://drupal.ls.net/content/install-script-ubuntu-and-debian">http://drupal.ls.net/content/install-script-ubuntu-and-debian</a> as a guide. The versions are out of date.<br>
<br>I expect to complete the move to multisite by May 15th.<br><br>Jim<br>-- <br>Rev. Jim Tarvid, PCA<br>Galax, Virginia<br><a href="http://ls.net">http://ls.net</a><br><a href="http://drupal.ls.net">http://drupal.ls.net</a><br>
