Learn how to setup Drush on shared hosting and what you can do with it

  • Drush Make - Bob Kepford

Stop wasting time and start making better web sites! Are you tired of doing the same clicking and downloading every time you start building a new Drupal site? Wouldn't it be nice if you could have one text file that would both document what modules you are using and enable you to create another one? Learn how to setup and use Drush Make!

  • Open Discussion

When

Thursday, November 17th, 2011 7:00-9:00 pm

The Drupal Fresno meetups are a great opportunity to meet local web designers and developers. New to Drupal? You'll love our group. Drupal Fresno people are very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for local talent you can find it here. If you have an idea for a web site and are considering using Drupal I can't think of a better group of folks to bounce ideas off of.

Fresno Drupal meetups are completely fun and free. Please RSVP if you plan on attending. This gives the event organizers an idea about the number of attendees and allows them to notify attendees about any changes related to this event.

Drush Install Stuff

Rodney Strong's picture

Some stuff you're gonna need to know when you first install drush:

Upload the "drush" folder to your web root. If you dont want people to access it, put it outside your public_html folder

Now you have to make 'drush' runnable. type cd drush which puts you into the drush folder. Then type chmod u+x drush. This makes it so you can execute the drush file.

Now in order to use drush you gotta create an alias for it. Do this by opening up the '.bashrc' file and paste this exact line at the bottom of it alias drush='~/drush/drush'

Once that's done then you have to run it once. In the command line, no matter where you are, type: source .bashrc

Now you're ready to use 'drush' from anywhere in your server.

If you want to take your Drupal 6 (D6) site offline with drush type this:

drush vset site_offline 1 --always-set

To bring it back online:

drush vset site_offline 0 --always-set

If you want to take your Drupal 7 (D7) site offline type this:

drush vset maintenance_mode 1

To bring it back online type these TWO lines:

drush vset maintenance_mode 0

drush cc all

Remember, before you use the awesome drush up command, TAKE YOUR SITE OFFLINE

Cheers,
Alex
