Here is how to install Drupal on a Centos5 Linux installation
- Install Centos5 including web server and mysql
- log in as root
- Update to latest version with:
yum -y update yum ; yum -y update
- Install modules with:
yum -y install php php-devel php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-mysql php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc curl curl-devel perl-libwww-perl ImageMagick libxml2 libxml2-devel
- Enable .htaccess:
cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.sav
vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and in two places change AllowOverride None to All
- Start apache with:
service httpd start
- Run:
system-config-securitylevel-tui and enable firewall for ssh and http, plus port 10000 for webmin
- Open a browser window pointed to the server to check if apache is running
- Create test script:
echo "<html><head><title>Test Page</title></head><body><?php phpinfo(); ?></body></html>" > /var/www/html/testphp.php
- Make sure php is running by visiting:
http://servername/testphp.php
- download webmin:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.470-1.noarch.rpm
- Install webmin with:
rpm -U webmin-1.470-1.noarch.rpm
- Check it is working by visiting:
http://servername:10000
- Install MySQL with:
yum -y install php-mysql mod_auth_mysql mysql-server php-gd php-mbstring
- Start MySQL:
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
- Now setup MySQL:
mysqladmin -u root password rootsqlpassword
- Make sure mysqld and httpd start on boot by checking the boxes:
webmin / system / bootup and shutdown
- Download your preferred version of Drupal and unarchive it with:
tar -zxvf drupal-x.x.tar.gz
- Move drupal to web root:
mv /nameofdrupalfolder/* /var/www/html
- plus .htaccess:
mv /nameofdrupalfolder/.h* /var/www/html
- Give the installer access to the directory:
chmod 777 /var/www/html/sites/default
mkdir /var/www/html/files
chmod 777 /var/www/html/files
- Create a database (e.g. called drupal) using:
webmin / servers / mysql
- visit the server's root web page and complete the installation using Drupal
- Secure sites access:
chmod 775 /var/www/html/sites/default
- Well done! You are finished
Saving memory
- You can save some memory by disabling the following Apache modules by renaming their .conf files in /etc/httpd/conf.d
manual, perl, proxy_ajp, python, squid, webalizer
- I saved some more memory by disabling the following services using webmin
avahi-daemon, gpm, haldaemon, hidd, irqbalance, mdmonitor, netfs, nfslock, pcscd, yumupdatesd
Optional Extras
- Install subversion
yum install subversion
- Download and install phpmyadmin:
wget "http://proj.ri.mu/installphpmyadmin.sh"
bash installphpmyadmin.sh
- you may wish to disable selinux for httpd
setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans 1
service httpd restart
- for useful notes, see: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2
Install php 5.2 and APC
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo
pecl uninstall apc #in case it was installed
yum -y --enablerepo=c5-testing update php*
service httpd restart
#
# to install APC
#warning: backup your httpd.conf file first, as this may overwrite it
yum -y install gcc httpd-devel
yum -y --enablerepo=c5-testing install php-devel php-pear
pecl -d memory_limit=16M install apc
echo "extension=apc.so" > /etc/php.d/apc.ini
service httpd restart
cp /usr/share/php/apc.php /var/www/html # and visit apc.php to test it is working
cp /usr/share/pear/apc.php /var/www/html # it may be here instead

- Install apc based on: http://2bits.com/articles/installing-php-apc-gnulinux-centos-5.html
yum install -y php-pear php-devel httpd-devel
pecl install apc
echo "extension=apc.so" > /etc/php.d/apc.ini
service httpd restart
