The package installs fairly easily with a major gotcha and a few minor issues.
Major gotcha. 1) the default drupal install depends on mysql-server running on localhost. Minor issues. 1) the user must visit http://server_ip/drupal5/install.php to complete the database initialization 2) the user must visit http://server_ip/drupal5 to complete drupal installation 3) file layout is fine for a "root" install of drupal but less so for a user install 4) postfix gets installed by default. some sendmail capability is required by drupal and the postfix install works fine but postfix is a career in itself and a lighter "sendmail" capability such as esmtp might be better. then there are those who would prefer a different mta. 5) apache2-mpm-itk is installed and loaded. that strikes me as adventurous. General issues. 1) should we suggest installation of openssh-server and working from a workstation Jim Tarvid -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
