Quickstart Drupal Development Environment

Anyone have any tips on how to go about telling quickstart-create to download and install Acquia's Drupal instead of standard Drupal? I can install distributions with quickstart-create but Acquia's Drupal is a profile, not a distribution.

Thanks,
Mickey

Are there any plans to support Drush 5?

Given some of the drush 5 commands interfere with quickstart commands (ie. qd) it makes it difficult to upgrade and use some of the new features in drush 5 that are extremely helpful, like command completion as well as many others.

I am totally bewildered by cron and all the well-intentioned help that is available on the first two pages of Google.

[Edit: Not so much, in the end. See below]

I've tried "Scheduled Tasks" and/or edited my crontab directly, changed the permissions on the test.sh scipt file so that anyone on the planet can have their way with it, all to no avail. All I ever get is "Permission Denied". The contained command is echo "hello world!" which I assume is not the source of the permission error.

The cron implementation appears to be Ubuntu default: no allow or deny files where I looked.

entered as described in u-tube examples, etc.... drush quickstart-create --domain=mamasonic15.dev

result:
quickstart@qs10:~/websites$ drush quickstart-create --domain=mamasonic15.dev
[ok]
Creating dns config (add mamasonic15.dev to /etc/hosts) ... [ok]
... done. [ok]
Creating database: mamasonic15_dev [ok]
... done. [ok]

Hi Mike and all - first off thank you for Quickstart. It simplified things a lot and it was a great help.

I have a question on drush quickstart-create command line. I couldn't find any documentation on how to create a database with a name different from the domain name.

Example: domain name=example.dev database name=mydatabase1

Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I've been trying to keep Quickstart versions in sync with Ubuntu's release cycle, and now that Ubuntu 11.10 is out, we're up for a new version.

The short version is, I don't recommend upgrading to 11.10, without making a snapshot you can roll-back to.

It may be some time before a major new version of Quickstart comes out. For newer users, I might download all the updates for the 1.0 version, and turn off the "Upgrade to 11.10" button and release it as version 1.1.

i am new bee in drupal development

i have the list of departmenets with the code number adn it address as following

001- purchase 002- transport 003- catering

etc...

now need one in which the select list of department shows the select list of 001,002,003 etc

I have created a site in web hosting providing using simple script. And several months later, I found Quickstart which is extremely handy for site development on ubuntu platform.

I wonder if I can use Quickstart to manage my exisiting sites that is already built and hosted somewhere else?
