HOWTO : Drupal 6.2 or 7 with Hiawatha 7.4 WebServer on Ubuntu Server/Desktop 10.10

I am going to setup a development environment of Drupal 6.2 or 7 with Hiawatha 7.4 on Ubuntu Desktop 10.10. However, this setting is also suit for production environment on Ubuntu Server 10.10 with a little bit changing.



Step 0 - Installation of Hiawatha



Follow this link to install required packages. You can omit the optional security settings at the moment.



Step 1 - Configuration of Hiawatha



Change the following section to the /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf.



Binding {

   Port = 80

   #Interface = 127.0.0.1

   MaxKeepAlive = 30

   TimeForRequest = 3,20

   MaxRequestSize = 8192

   MaxUploadSize = 30

}



Add the following section to the /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf.



UrlToolkit {

   ToolkitID = drupal7

   RequestURI exists Return

   Match /favicon.ico Return

   Match .* Rewrite /index.php

}



or/and



UrlToolkit {

   ToolkitID = drupal6

   RequestURI exists Return

   Match ^/favicon.ico$ Return

   Match /(.*)\?(.*) Rewrite /index.php?q=$1&$2

   Match /(.*) Rewrite /index.php?q=$1

}



Step 2 - Configuration of virtual host



sudo nano /etc/hiawatha/enable-site/drupal7



Drupal 7 :



VirtualHost {

   Hostname = localhost, 127.0.0.1

   WebsiteRoot = /var/www/drupal7

   StartFile = index.php

   SecureURL = false

   AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/access.log

   ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/error.log

   TimeForCGI = 120

   #UseFastCGI = PHP5

   UseToolkit = drupal7

   #DenyBody = ^.*%3Cscript.*%3C%2Fscript%3E.*$

   ExecuteCGI = yes

   PreventCSRF = yes

   PreventSQLi = yes

   PreventXSS = yes

   TriggerOnCGIstatus = no

}



or



sudo nano /etc/hiawatha/enable-site/drupal6



Drupal 6 :



VirtualHost {

   Hostname = localhost, 127.0.0.1

   WebsiteRoot = /var/www/drupal6

   StartFile = index.php

   SecureURL = false

   AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/access.log

   ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/error.log

   TimeForCGI = 120

   #UseFastCGI = PHP5

   UseToolkit = drupal6

   #DenyBody = ^.*%3Cscript.*%3C%2Fscript%3E.*$

   ExecuteCGI = yes

   PreventCSRF = yes

   PreventSQLi = yes

   PreventXSS = yes

   TriggerOnCGIstatus = no

}



Step 2a :



sudo /etc/init.d/hiawatha restart



Step 3 : Preparation of installation of Drupal



Download the Drupal from her official site. Extract the downloaded file and copy to /var/www/.



sudo tar -xzvf drupal-6.20.tar.gz



or



sudo tar -xzvf drupal-7.0.tar.gz



Step 3a :



Create a directory under /var/www/.



sudo mkdir /var/www/drupal6



or



sudo mkdir /var/www/drupal7



Step 3b :



Copy the files to the /var/www/.



sudo cp ~/drupal-6.20/* /var/www/drupal6



or



sudo cp ~/drupal-7.0/* /var/www/drupal7



Step 3c :



cd /var/www/drupal6



or



cd /var/www/drupal7



Step 3d :



sudo chmod a+w sites/default

sudo mkdir sites/default/files

sudo chmod a+w sites/default/files



sudo cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php

sudo chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php



Step 3e :



mysql -u root -p



After entered the password, create a database for the installation.



create database drupal;



After that, then quit MySQL.



quit



Step 3f :



Open the browser and type "localhost" at the address field to continue the installation. The database name is "drupal".



When the installation is completed, carry out the following commands.



sudo chmod go-w sites/default

sudo chmod go-w sites/default/settings.php



sudo chmod a-r CHANGELOG.txt



Step 4 : Complete the installation



Drupal 6.2



sudo crontab -e



Add the following :



0 * * * * wget -O - -q -t 1 http://localhost/cron.php



or



Drupal 7



Administration -- Configuration -- System -- Cron



Get the Cron key at Administration -- Reports -- Status report -- Cron maintenance tasks.



sudo crontab -e



0 * * * * wget -O - -q -t 1 http://localhost/cron.php?cron_key=YOURKEY



Step 5 : Localization (Optional)
