    Installation guide

    Last modified: September 6, 2011Drupal provides an installation script that automatically populates database tables andconfigures the correct settings in the settings.php file. This section covers preparing for

    installation, running the installation script itself, and the steps that should be done after

    running the installation script has completed. It also explains how to do a "multi site"

    installation, where a number of different Drupal sites run off the same code base.

    Before proceeding with your first Drupal installation, you should also review the best

    practices section. For help with Drupal terms, see the glossary page.

    Other tools

    Some of the steps in the installation process can be performed with tools such as graphical

    applications for moving files and managing databases or tools that are provided by your

    hosting service. This documentation focuses on performing tasks at the command line. For

    information on using other tools, see the documentation that accompanies the application or

    is provided by your hosting service.

    Creating a test site on a local computer

    It is considered a good practice to do all development work on a separate test site before

    making changes to a production site. A test site allows you to evaluate the impact of

    upgrades, new modules, modifications to themes etc. without causing disruption to your livesite. For information about setting up a web server on a local computer, see the Local Server

    Setup section of the Developing for Drupal guide.

    Alternative methods for installation

    Some web hosting companies offer "one-click" installations of Drupal, or specific Drupal

    support. You may be able to locate one on the Drupal hosting handbook page.

    There is also information about Drupal distributions, which include installation profiles and

    pre-packaged distributions of Drupal and modules. These may be of help as well.

    Step 1: Download and uncompress Drupal

    Drupal version: Drupal 6.x, Drupal 7.x Audience: Developers and coders, Site administrators Last modified: December 27, 2010

    Drupal is available in two supported versions (the most recent and the previous). The

    "recommended release" is the latest stable release of that version. To learn more about

    versions, see the Drupal version information page.

    If you would like to create a Drupal site in a language other than English, information about

    Drupal translations is available at http://drupal.org/project/translations .

    Downloading Drupal

    Before you begin, log into your server and navigate to the directory from which you will beserving your Drupal site. On many *nix computers the path from the server's root will be

    /var/www/html, so cd /var/www/html. On a shared server, or a server that hosts multiple

    domains, the path will be different (try cd ~/www or cd ~/public_html). If you are unsure

    of the directory, ask your hosting provider for assistance.

    Download Drupal using any download utility, the two most popular of which are wgetand

    curl. Not every computer has both. The commands are, respectively:

    wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz

    orcurl -O http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz

    (Note that the option for the curl command is the upper case letter "O" and not the numeral

    that stands for zero.)

    (Replace the "http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz" string with the link for the

    version you will be installing.)

    Uncompressing Drupal

    Type the following command (replacing "x.x" with your downloaded version's number):

    tar -xzvf drupal-x.x.tar.gz

    Remove the compressed version of the file by typing rm drupal-x.x.tar.gz.

    Moving Drupal to its intended location

    Now you need to move the contents of the drupal-x.x directory one level "up" into the web

    server's document root or your public HTML directory:

    mv drupal-x.x/* drupal-x.x/.htaccess ./

    The files from the directory you downloaded and decompressed have now been moved up a

    level into your web directory, and you can delete the drupal-x.x directory (which is now

    empty):

    rmdir drupal-x.x

    Before continuing to the next page ...

    The base URL for your Drupal installation will be set in your web server's configuration file.

    You will need to know this URL before proceeding to the next steps of the installation. If you

    are installing Drupal on your local machine the base URL may be: http://localhost. If

    you are installing Drupal to a web server your base URL may be a specific domain name

    (such as http://example.com).

    Step 2: Create the database

    Drupal version: Drupal 6.x, Drupal 7.x Audience: Developers and coders, Site administrators Last modified: July 8, 2011

    Before running the installation script, you must create an empty database and database user (a

    user name assigned the rights to use the Drupal database).

    This page offers guidance for creating your Drupal database using a web browser-based

    control panel (such as "CPanel" or "Plesk"), or by using phpMyAdmin (another browser-

    based database utility), or by creating the database directly from the MySQL or PostgreSQL

    command prompt (for more advanced users).

    Create a database and user via a browser-based control panel

    Most web hosting accounts provide a Web-based control panel to help you administer your

    site. These tools include easy-to-use features for creating a new database, and for creating a

    "user" with rights to the database. To create a database using a browser-based control panel

    consult the documentation or ask your web host service provider.

    When you create the user for your database, you may see a page where you can specify the

    privileges that user will have for various operations on the database. In most web controlpanels' "database wizard", if you simply check "All" privileges for the user you create (and

    then uncheck "Grant" if it is listed as a privilege) your user will be set up correctly.

    Take note of the username, password, database name and hostname (eg. are you installing in

    http://example.com , or in http://drupal.example.com , or http://example.com/blog

    etc.) as you create the database. You will enter these items into fields in your browser when

    running the install script (see next page).

    Note that in many cases when creating databases and users via a web-based interface, the

    username you use to log into your control panel is added as a prefix to the database name and

    possibly to the database username as well. For example, if you log into your site's controlpanel as "webadmin" and create a database named "drupal7db" and a user for that database

    named "d7user", when running the Install script (see next page) the database and user may

    need to be typed in as "webadmin_drupal7db" and "webadmin_d7user". (This is because

    many hosting accounts are on shared servers, and on one server each database and user name

    must be unique across all accounts on the server.)

    If you have created your database and user via a web-based interface, you can skip the

    remainder of this page and continue with the install instructions on the next page.

    Create a database and user using phpMyAdmin

    This presumes you have root access to phpMyAdmin

    1. Log in to phpMyAdmin as the root user.2. Click Privileges andAdd a new User.3. In the User name field, enter the username you wish to use.4. In the Hostfield, select Localwhich is more secure, unless you will be accessing the database

    with this user from another server.

    5. Enter or generate a password for the user.6. In the Database for User list, select Create database with same name and grant all privileges

    and click Go.

    You have now created a user that has all privileges only on the database with the same name.

    This is more secure than using a general username and password for all your sites on the

    same server, as it limits access to your databases if someone gets hold of your database

    logins.

    If you want to have a different name for database and user, just select the created database,

    then click the operations tab. You will find an optionRename database to. If you need more

    details about using PHPMyAdmin, check out the official wiki.

    Take note of the username, password, database name and hostname (eg. are you installing in

    http://example.com , or in http://drupal.example.com , or http://example.com/blog

    etc.) as you create the database. You will enter these items into fields in your browser when

    running the install script.

    Note that in many cases when creating databases and users using a web interface, the

    username you use to log in to your control panel is added as a prefix to the database name

    and possibly to the database username as well. For example, if you log into your site's control

    panel as "webadmin" and create a database named "drupal7db" and a user for that database

    named "d7user", when running the Install script (see next page) the database and user may

    need to be typed in as "webadmin_drupal7db" and "webadmin_d7user". (This is because

    many hosting accounts are on shared servers, and on one server each database and username

    must be unique across all accounts on the server.)

    If you have created your database and user via phpMyAdmin, you can skip the remainder of

    this page and continue with the install instructions on the next page.

    Create a database from the command line

    If you do not use a Web control panel or are experienced with and prefer to use MySQL or

    PostgreSQL commands, you can follow the information below.

    Additional information about privileges, and instructions to create a database using the

    command line are available in INSTALL.mysql.txt (for MySQL) or INSTALL.pgsql.txt (for

    PostgreSQL).

    For information on installing and configuring MySQL see http://dev.mysql.com/tech-

    resources/articles/mysql_intro.html

    In the following examples, 'username' is an example MySQL user who will have the

    CREATE and GRANT privileges and 'databasename' is the name of the new database Use

    the appropriate names for your system.

    1. Create a new database for your site.mysqladmin -u username -p create databasename

    MySQL prompts for the 'username' database password, and creates the initial database

    files.

    2. Log in and set the access database rights:mysql -u username -p

    MySQL prompts for the 'username' database password.

    3. At the MySQL prompt, set the permissions using the following command:GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER,LOCK TABLES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON `databasename`.* TO'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

    In this case:

    o 'databasename' is the name of your databaseo 'username@localhost' is the username of your MySQL accounto 'password' is the password required for that username

    You will need the ` around the database name if you have used a MySQL escape

    character in your schema name.

    Eg: drupal_test_account.* should be drupal\_test\_account.* for security (underscore

    is a wildcard). This requires the ` wrapper. `drupal\_test\_account`.*

    Note: unless your database user has all of the privileges listed above, you will notbe able to run Drupal.

    4. If successful, MySQL will reply with:Query OK, 0 rows affected

    5. To activate the new permissions, enter the following command:FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    The database should be created with UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding.

    6. Now exit the MYSQL prompt by typing:exit

    The server will answer by sayingBye

    Create a database using PostgreSQL

    The database must be created with UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding.

    1. Create a database userThis step is only necessary if you don't already have a user setup (e.g. by your host) or you

    want to create new user for use with Drupal only. The following command creates a new

    user named 'username' (you should substitute this with the desired username), and prompts

    for a password for that user:

    createuser --pwprompt --encrypted --no-adduser

    --no-createdb username

    If everything works correctly, you'll see a CREATE USER notice.

    2. Create the databaseThis step is only necessary if you don't already have a database setup (e.g. by your host) or

    you want to create new database for use with Drupal only. The following command creates a

    new database named "databasename" (you should substitute this with the desired database

    name), which is owned by previously created "username":

    createdb --encoding=UNICODE --owner=username databasename

    If everything works correctly, you'll see a CREATE DATABASE notice.

    Step 3: The settings.php file

    Drupal version: Drupal 6.x, Drupal 7.x Audience: Developers and coders, Site administrators Last modified: February 13, 2011

    Prior to running the installation script, you must create a settings.php file and set some

    permissions.

    Settings.php

    Your Drupal download comes with a sample configuration file at sites/default

    /default.settings.php . The default file must be copied and the new file must be given the

    correct name, settings.php.

    Please note: With Drupal 7.x, on some types of shared/local hosting, if PHP and Apache are

    run by the same user, Drupal will attempt to execute the first three steps for you. If you get

    errors referring to the "Settings file" during installation, you can perform these steps

    manually.

    1. Copy the default.settings.php to settings.php.You can do this from the command line (working from the root of the directory containing

    your Drupal installation) using cp sites/default/default.settings.php

    sites/default/settings.php .

    Please note: Do not simply rename the file. The Drupal installer will need both files.

    2. You should now have both a default.settings.php and settings.php file in yoursites/default directory.

    3. Make the settings file writeable, so that the installer can edit it, usingchmod a+w sites/default/settings.php or chmod 666sites/default/settings.php

    Both commands have the same effect.

    Several FTP tools like Filezilla, Transmit, and Fetch allow you to change file

    permissions, using a 'file attribute' or 'get info' command. In this case the octal ornumeric value file permission should be set to 666. If your ftp client has checkboxes

    for setting permissions, check both the Read and Write boxes for "Owner", "Group",

    and "Others" (leaving the Execute boxes unchecked).

    Please note: Do not forget to change permissions back after you have run the

    installation script.

    4. To let the files directory be created automatically, give the web server write privileges to thesites/default directory.

    chmod a+w sites/default

    Please note: Do not forget to change permissions back after you have run the

    installation script.

    Step 4: Run the installation script

    Drupal version: Drupal 6.x, Drupal 7.x Audience: Developers and coders, Site administrators Last modified: May 6, 2011

    For Drupal 7

    To run the Drupal install script, point your browser to the base URL of your web site.

    The "base URL" means the document root (directory) where you placed your Drupal files

    (and is defined in your web server configuration file). If you have installed Drupal on a web

    host this will likely be a domain name such as http://www.example.com . If you installed

    Drupal in a subfolder, then you should point your browser to the subfolder (e.g.

    http://example.com/subfolder ). If you have installed Drupal on your desktop machine

    this URL might be http://localhost/drupal.

    If the installation process does not simply appear by entering the base URL of your site, add

    the file name "install.php" (for example http://www.example.com/install.php ).

    You will be guided through several screens:

    1. Choose which profile to use for the installation (standard or minimal).Most people should select the "standard" option. The standard option comes with default

    content types already enabled, such asArticle and Page, and with appropriate publishing

    options already set. (Of course you can later edit these default content types and their

    settings, or add additional ones.) The standard profile also has a useful collection of modules

    pre-enabled for you.

    The "minimal" option is targeted toward more experienced Drupal site creators who

    wish to set up their own content types with associated publishing options. The

    minimal profile has only three modules enabled: Block, Database logging, and

    Update status.

    2. Select a languageIf you want to install using a language other than the default English, click the Learn how to

    Possible errors include:

    o Missing directories and/or incorrect permissionsThe installer will attempt to automatically set up a number of directories, but this

    may fail due to permission settings. In this case you will find the missing directories

    listed. sites/default/files sites/default/private sites/default/private/files

    These directories should be set to the following permissions chmod o+w

    sites/default/files OR chmod 777 sites/default/files

    o Missing settings.php or incorrect permissionsIfsettings.php is missing or not accessible, follow the instructions in Step 3: The

    settings.php file. Note that you will need both the default.settings.php and

    settings.php files.

    4. Set up databaseEnter the database name as well as the username and password for the database that you

    created in Step 2: Create the database. This username and password information allows

    Drupal to access your database, so the install script can create tables. Note that this is not

    the username and password for administering Drupal; these will be created in the next step.

    After the installation is complete, you will want to change the permissions on the settings.php

    file back so that it is protected:

    chmod u=rw,o=r,a=r sites/default/settings.php OR chmod 644sites/default/settings.php

    If you make manual changes to the settings.php file later, be sure to protect it again after

    making your modifications.

    Failure to remove write permissions to that file is a security risk. (Although the default

    location for the settings.php file is at sites/default/settings.php, it may be in another location

    if you use the multi-site setup.)

    Built-in Installation Profiles (Drupal 7)

    Audience: Site users Last modified: April 14, 2011

    The Standard profile has several core modules enabled. It has more default configuration set

    up, including several default admin tools. This profile does more to show what core can do,

    and can save site building time by having defaults for common use cases.

    The Minimal profile has only a few very basic modules installed. This profile is useful if you

    only want very specific features, or if it will take more work to undo the defaults provided

    with the Standard profile.

    Details

    This table shows what extra modules will get enabled with the Standard profile:
