How to duplicate a Drupal Setup.
by Mike Ryan 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi Lloyd, You can change the names of the web sites by changing the vhosts file and the hosts file. I always have to look this up to remember how to do it -- and there's posts on drupal.org that walk you through it. But there should be a vhosts file within your Apache files and a hosts file in your operating system files. If you upload your files into a database that you create in MySQL, you just need to change your settings file (sites/default/settings.php) with the proper MySQL settings and you'll probably want to change your base url settings in the same file. In general, for your purposes you can also just search for instructions on how to migrate a site, which is all you're doing w/ your backup. Hope that helps. -Mike

How to duplicate a Drupal Setup.
by Lloyd Lowe 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi There, I have inherited a Drupal 5 setup which our Organization uses on a daily basis. We have a machine hosted in the UK that supplies our website to all our visitors and sponsors. This website has been build on Drupal and I have recently upgraded it to Drupal 6.20. We are planning on revamping this website completely but cant afford to do this on the live site for obvious reasons so i have done the following : I have installed a Debian 6.0.1a machine with Apache2, PHP5 and mysql-server. I have tarred the /var/www folder and the /etc/apache folder and downloaded them to my local machine. I have backed up my database to a .sql file using phpmyadmin and downloaded that as well. Let me tell you what i have done so far : in the sites-availabe and sites-enables folders I have websites that look like this : www.x.org.za (path = /var/www/drupal/home/www.x.org.za) www.y.org.za (path = /var/www/drupal/home/www.y.org.za) I have logged into phpmyadmin and imported the database. I have untarred the download file into /var/www creating the paths specified above. Now, here are my questions : 1 . How do i change the names of the websites so i can browse them as http://localhost/x etc....... ? 2 . How do i make sure that Drupal is using the data I imported in the step above - Was I supposed to import the data into the database i pointed Drupal to or does the website have seperate database references? Thank you for your time, Cheers, Lloyd

[drupal support] Blocks and php code question
by tony maciejowski 23 May '11

23 May '11

Dear All, I am trying to create a custom block per Tomlinson's Beginning Drupal 7.0 on page 81. He instructs one to go to Structure; Blocks; add new block. then further: He says " after entering the (PHP) code, change the Text format select list from Filtered HTML to PHP code". I only see options for *filtered HTML*; *Full HTML *or *Plain Text*. No "PHP code". How come? Thanks Tony

Backup and Migrate
by Roger 22 May '11

22 May '11

I had problems with Backup and Migrate because it did not copy all of the drupal installation, themes, modules, views, etc and produced errors. I did it manually. I copied the database so it became an .sql file not a tar.gz or zip file. I copied all of the Drupal7 installation to the new hard drive space. Created the new database with the same name and password as the old version, did a mysqlrestore to insert all of the database information. It does not have to have the same database name, username and password but you will have to make alterations to the settings.php if it's not the same as the old version. Checked settings.php to see that it pointed to the correct database and password. Went into mysql> show databases;>show tables; to see that everything was in place and comparable to the original. Then started drupal 7 and it worked as though it was still on the old system. I ran update.php to make sure that the database was corrected. It works. And I did not have to fiddle with versions of modules and themes, etc. That was my little adventure. Roger

backup_migrate
by tony maciejowski 20 May '11

20 May '11

Dear All, Reading the help file with the module "*Backup_Migrate"* I get the following instructions, which I, of course, follow to the letter: *INSTALLATION: * Put the module in your drupal modules directory and enable it in admin/build/modules. Check! * Go to admin/user/permissions and grant permission to any roles that need to be able to backup or restore the databse. **Check!* * * Configure and use the module at admin/structure/backup_migrate* *I just get the normal structure screen: no hint of backup_migrate or am I blind to something. Thanks Tony *

White screen
by Joel Willers 20 May '11

20 May '11

So, we got the white screen of doom across a site a team is working on. The only major change we can see is that somebody did: chown -R :www-data * in the /sites/default/modules folder. Would that have any effect on the entire site? Joel Willers
