Hi Guys,
whenever I think I am getting on top of Drupal it comes back and bites me.
Have built numerous sites from scratch - Install Drupal and then add modules and themes as required, and have also built a couple of sites using Distributions. A friend wants a Blog site so decided to use Drupress - which seems to use "Profiles".
Extracted the download to the public html type area. Then did the usual - settings.php in sites/default and added files directory, chown, chgrp and chmod. Set up an empty database with a user. Then ran install.php from a browser and nothing happens. What would normally be in sites/all/themes and sites/all/modules is now in a profile/drupress directory. Everything seems to be there but how do I get to it. So looking for a "Dummies intro to installing from "Profiles". Thanks.
Alison
Sounds like you are doing too much fiddling beforehand. Just follow the profiles install instructions.
I have strongly objected to profiles putting modules in a strange place as then when you install some other (non-profile contrib module it winds up in the normal place and using the web based update a module puts it in the normal place with the result of having two copies of the module and not knowing for sure which one is actually used - bad deal). So you really have to rely on the distribution provider to keep up with security patches to modules they use.

When you run install you should have a screen that asks what you want to install, same as installing plain old Drupal. The only different is you'll have an extra option to install Drupress, on top of standard and minimal. If you aren't getting that option, then you need to open an issue with the project. The project is still in Alpha stages and if you look at the issue queue, there is one open issue of it producing a fatal error during installation:

Tried that and it just stops part way through running the install script with just a blank screen. That''s the reason why I thought I needed to do more. I am familar with the dialog you speak of, which is similar to installing "distributions". The tb_sirate_starter distribution does that.

Have you checked your server logs? There's a very good chance you'll see the same error as in the issue I linked.

Thanks Jamie.
More looking for confirmation that the error wasn't due to my lack of familiarity re: installing using "Profiles". If there is no necessity to run the Drush make files or do anything else different, then I will spend the weekend debugging it. Lots on Drupal.org about distributing using profiles but couldn't find anything about installing from them.

There really isn't much out there, because there isn't much to them. If you can install Drupal, you can install from a profile. As matter of fact, Drupal is nothing more than a profile itself. The problems that always popup are errors inside the profile, or if a particular profile does something different (maybe require a 3rd party library that can be distributed with Drupal).
