Starting Drupal

English Network/Internet
#1

Hi,

I installed drupal7 for 13.2 (I use 13.2 and KDE) from the repo of aeneas_jaissle, it was version 7.34 (software.opensuse.org). Everything went well. I have apache2, mysql and php installed, apache2 was started and I checked that it works with “It works” php code when putting “localhost” on my browser’s address bar. But how can I start making projects with drupal7? I created a user in the mysql database, but how can I start drupal and build a website? Please advise, thank you!

Hi,

you need to edit the file

/etc/apache2/conf.d/drupal7.conf

and comment out

Deny from all

and add

Require all granted

in between the Directory tag.

Then restart apache2

rcapache2 restart

Then open your favorite browser to the url:

localhost/drupal

That should to the trick. Some folks might have a better idea.

You might to clear your browsers cache or try a different browser if you cannot log-in after the configuration is done. I did

That did it! You guys ARE awesome!

Now I am trying to access the admin page, that is:

localhost/admin

and I get this error:

Object not found!        The requested URL was not found on this server.          If you entered the URL manually please check your     spelling and try again.      
  If you think this is a server error, please contact the [EMAIL="%5bno%20address%20given%5d"]webmaster[/EMAIL].  
  Error 404

Maybe someone knows why…I cannot do anything without having access to dashboard.

Cookies related. I tried on Qupzilla and it worked. So maybe Mozilla firefox registered a wrong password…

I just wanted to ask: what is the difference between a regular user and the admin on Drupal? Because I logged in with the user and I have access to everything.

Solved this, too…if you click on Edit profile, you will find a „Roles” option and you can change between Admin and regular user.

Hi again!

If I want to create a website on, let’s say, www.example.com, what should I do? Should I create a new user in MySQL and then go to

www.example.com/drupal

and install it on that website? Should I also change “localhost” in the settings to “www.example.com”? Your advice is appreciated, thank you!

Hi,

That can be configured via

yast2-http-server

Yast2 --> Network services --> http server

You must read apache2 docs for that. If you have it installed you can try browsing

localhost/manual

Many many thanks for your excellent reply!
