• Install LAMP stack

apt-get install openssh-server
apt-get install tasksel
tasksel install lamp-server

• Some basic stuff

apt-get install vim g++ build-essential subversion python-mysqldb ImageMagick php5-gd postfix
echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /var/www/html/testphp.php

• visit server and check php is running
• now add webmin

echo 'deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update; apt-get install webmin

• configure

As I wrote here:www.drupal.org/…omment-9134347

Webform descriptions can be made to take any tags using:

php -r "print json_encode(array('a', 'em', 'strong', 'code', 'img', 'ul', 'ol', 'li'));"  | drush vset --format=json webform_allowed_tags -

• The first command generates:

["a","em","strong","code","img","ul","ol","li"]

• which can be written to the variable and checked with:

drush vset --format=json webform_allowed_tags '["a","em","strong","code","img","ul","ol","li"]'
drush vget webform_allowed_tags  # check value is set

So far CloudFlare has proved to be an excellent service. It is very useful for providing extra safety for old Drupal 5 sites that have not yet been upgraded.

• I will make a note here of any problems that come up.
• Here are Five Easy Recommended Steps

A new way of creating a website is using what is sometimes called a “headless” site, with the front end being served by an MVC framework (Model View Controller).

Headless Drupal means using Drupal purely for content creation and management and feeding all the data in JSON format to a JavaScript front end.

Stragegy

• download no-core version
• replace all modules in repo with symbolic links
• create standard Drupal 7 site
• link openatrium directory into profiles/openatrium
• install site using openatrium install profile

dget install openatrium 7.x-2.19-no-core d7paths
grep memory_limit /etc/php.ini       #should be >= 256M
grep max_allowed_packet /etc/my.cnf  #should be >= 32M (add under [mysqld]}

• Go through OA contrib modules and any we have already replace with the one in the repo

mod=/opt/dr7/contrib/modules
oa=$mod/openatrium

function repoa {
  rm -Rf $oa/modules

1. Install modules on server

dget install redhen 7.x-1.7 d7paths
dget install message 7.x-1.9 d7paths
dget install relation 7.x-1.0-rc5 d7paths
dget install registration 7.x-1.3 d7paths
dget install redhen_membership 7.x-1.x-dev d7paths
dget install entityreference 7.x-1.1 d7paths
dget install addressfield 7.x-1.0-beta5 d7paths

• assume entity, ctools already installed
