Drubuntu
This group is for people using Ubuntu for developing Drupal core or contributed modules, and also for people using the Ubuntu LAMP stack as a server for Drupal.
See the Drubuntu HOWTO that explains how to install and configure an Ubuntu/LAMP/Eclipse Drupal development environment.
There is also an Ubuntu/LAMP/Eclipse Drupal development environment VMware image available, that lets you experiment with developing Drupal on an open source platform, without needing to repartition your hard disk.
[SUPPORT-REQUEST] Setting up an Ubuntu LAMP Server for Development on a VM
I followed this guide: How To Setup an Ubuntu LAMP Server for Development Purposes Only
But I've run into a problem. The Server I setup is on a VM (VirtualBox). I did this so I wouldn't have to manage it on my local machine and I could easily turn it on/off when needed. I used 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 Server. I gave the VM it's own Static IP address (192.168.1.105) and HostName (LAMPVM) via my Routers config.
The problem I've run into is when I try and access my virtual hosts from my HARDmachine (not the VM), it doesn't work...
Mac OS X Native or Ubuntu virtual Machine
Hi all,
While my main development machine at work is a Desktop running Ubuntu,
I also have a macbook at home.
Up to now, I've been doing development at home using VirtualBox with a Ubuntu guest OS.
It works pretty well, but at times a little cumbersome - having to boot up twice, the Ubuntu OS isn't as smooth as Mac OSX etc.
But it means my environment is pretty much exactly the same, and almost exactly the same as the VPS I use for a few sites.
I'm just curious what others are up to, and especially how they test in multiple browsers.
Regards
Alan
Installing Drush on Ubuntu
So, you probably have heard of drush, and maybe you have not tried it yet. I tried it quite a while ago, and found it to be somewhat of a hassle. But I yesterday I decided to give it another go, and see all the buzz everyone's talking about.
svn user group
Hey guys,
I need some help
I have a document root with code I would like subversion manage and apache operate.
Should I create a Group and Add www-data and SVN username into new Group? How should this be accomplished?
Best Regards,
Jorge.
VPS tuning advice
Hi all,
I'm running a zen Based VPS at blacknight with some, relatively speaking, low traffic sites.
I upgraded one of those sites to Drupal 6 this morning, and now the server seems to have gone haywire.
I'd appreciate any advice as to how to recover the situation.
One of the sites is www.athenryac.com, and judging from the browser, a connection is being made to the server,
and it is is either extremely slow, or just times out.
Even ssh access is very slow.
The server is running Ubuntu 8.4.01
Php 5
with APC installed.
Mysql 5.
Phpinfo, and my.cnf pasted below.
Ubuntu Drupal Development Suite
There is something brewing over at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDrupal
The setup instructions can be found here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDrupal/Setup and the launchpad page is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal
I believe the purpose of this project is to organize team work. Has anyone tried it out/have more info?
Creating Drupal environments using vmbuilder on Ubuntu 8.10
With some scripting on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) we can simple generate fully customised Drupal LAMP development servers, as virtual appliances to VMware, or to other virtualization environments like XEN or KVM. It's an effective and quick way to have various development or test servers in one hardware box running Ubuntu 8.10 and VMware Server 2.0.
Drupal Development (in a "to go" box)
session proposal at drupalcon for a pre-built development environment. free. open source. with php debugging. works on MAC, Windows, linux, and solaris.
I'm planning to give the talk at DrupalCamp San Diego, and it has been accepted as talk at SCaLE 7x. It should be pretty polished by the time march rolls around. if you're interested, please check it out and vote: DrupalCon 2009 - Drupal Development in a "to go" box.

Fixing glitches in the Drubuntu documentation
I've noticed a couple of glitches in the Drubuntu how-to. Since they are wiki pages, and I'm going through trying each line of code, I've updated what isn't working to have the fixes or changes necessary to make them work.
-
Skype wasn't installing on apt-get, I added instructions for getting this downloadable.
-
On the eclipse install, the instructions about adding the Eclipse extensions also was wrong. When I followed the directions, there was no Add Site button until I clicked on the Available Software tab.
Drubuntu2 VMware Image
Ubuntu 8.10 will be released in 10 days at which time I will start building a VMware image with the following specs:
-LAMP
-Eclipse PDT
--Subclipse
--Configured for Debugging with XDebug
-Firefox with Firebug
I would be happy to share this image with the Drupal community so any feature suggestions are welcome. If you would like to help out please contact me. Setting up LAMP on Ubuntu is a pretty straight forward process but I am no expert on the matter.
install drupal bash script
Rough cut of a script that will set up a user, domain, database, dns, apache on Ubuntu or Debian and allow a user to start Drupal installation at http://domain/
Problems, comments, suggestions to tarvid@ls.net.

Tape drive access problem
I asked about this on Ubuntu.org several days ago, but I don't have an answer yet. Let's see if I can get lucky here.
I'm trying to set up an environment that I can use for Drupal development (which I have done in Windows up to now).
Using wget to access contributed projects
Can anyone point me towards using wget to access contributed modules / projects. I don't want to use a CVS system, but now that I've migrated to Ubuntu, I want to be able to use a command line interface to quickly download and unpackage drupal modules.
I'm new to Ubuntu. I've previously used Tortoise CVS system under Windows, but I don't really need it if I can simply use a command line to download projects / latest module updates.
Thanks!

Quick and Dirty Drupal Install on Ubuntu LAMP
No fancy development installation here, just quick and dirty command line instructions on installing Drupal 5.7 on an Ubuntu server. Probably a little more approachable for those new who are to Linux, new to development or just want a quick sandbox site.
http://23rdworld.com/2008/04/09/drupal-5x-on-ubuntu-lampdrupal-5x-on-ubu...
I started a discussion instead of a wiki page to get feedback on this article. If it seems useful/appropriate I can copy it to a wiki page.
Thanks!

PHP 4 Support
You really only need to do this if you need to test and support existing modules on php 4. Generally it is acceptable for new modules to release them php 5 only. Drupal 7 will be php 5 only. Unless you know for sure that you need this it is recommended to use the standard mod-php5 configuration instead.
Since Ubuntu 7.04 php4 packages have not been provided or supported by Ubuntu, so (unless you are running an older 6.xx version of Ubuntu) you will need to find/add repositories that provide php4 packages.
Directory layout overview
This gives an overview of how the whole system works at a directory level.
Note that, with the setup above, the URLs indicated below are working with 'zero-configuration' apart from the addition of the domain to your hosts file.
- You don't need to set up a new apache vhost for each site, or mess around with switching directories around or trying to work from a subdirectory, all of which can be troublesome and annoying.
- Every folder under the workspace folder can be an Eclipse project.
Adding a new site
- We will be using the example site 'mysite' here
- This is for a multisite setup, so we will be using an existing Drupal install.
- The example is for a 6 (suffix '6') site, but the procedure is the same for 5, 4.7 and head sites.
- We will be using SVN, but the method for a CVS checkout is almost identical.
Checkout a copy of the site with Eclipse
- Window -> Open Perspective -> Other -> SVN Repository Exploring
Checkout Drupal
Using an Eclipse Team Project Set
- This allows you to checkout Drupal for 4.6, 4.7, 5 and CVS HEAD in one go.
- You can also add the contribution repository, but this is very large so be warned!
- See http://drupal.org/node/80667 for full instructions
Using Eclipse CVS
- You can use the Drupal CVS repository: http://drupal.org/repos
- Window -> Open Perspective -> Other -> CVS Repository Exploring
- Right click -> 'New' -> 'Repository Location', enter repository details:
- Host: cvs.drupal.org
- Repository path: /cvs/drupal
Installing Eclipse
Updated Install Instructions for Eclipse 3.4
It is recommended to install Eclipse manually into the /opt or ~/opt directory. It is possible to install Eclipse using apt-get or Synaptic, but this can cause permissions and/or upgrade complexities and so is not recommended. _Note: These instructions were created for installing Eclipse on Ubuntu 8.10, and they include a step to install Subclipse v1.4 which is compatible with Ubuntu 8.10 / SVN version 1.5. If you are running an earlier version of Ubuntu or SVN you should install an earlier version of Subclipse.
