The Future of Drupal - Webinar
Right now, more than 700,000 websites are still using Drupal 7. Yet, from November 2021, Drupal 7 and 8 will no longer get updates, bug fixes or security patches. Released in June 2020, Drupal 9 will become the standard platform all organisations must use - but how can you get there?
Join experts from Acquia, Cyber-Duck, SureCloud and The Drupal Association as we talk about the future of Drupal. Discover how, when and why your business should upgrade to Drupal 9. Our webinar will discuss:
Read moreDrupalpro ported to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64bit)
I have ported DrupalPro to Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit). It has the quickstart Drush add-on working with the latest Apache 2.4 so you can create sites very easily.
Please feel free to use it from https://github.com/jcmartinez/drupalpro14
I couldn't work without this environment and my old 12.04 version was crashing so I decided to finally spend the time and make it work.
Thanks to Michael Cole and Mike Stewart for the previous work.

Hardware install of Quickstart
Has anyone had any luck getting Quickstart to install on a physical machine? I'd like to be able to use all the scripts/tools that are provided, on my physical machine, but keep encountering errors.

Hey Everyone,
Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu, have started an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign for a highly innovative, leading edge technology phone called the Ubuntu Edge. Here's the link.

It'll be a converged device that will act as a PC with Ubuntu OS when connected to a monitor/keyboard. It'll cost $830 dollars but there are still lower priced perks still available.

Wget failing on Drush dl
Hi,
I installed Quickstart on the latest version of Ubuntu and I immediately ran into problems when connecting to the internet.
I eventually played around with the network adapter settings in VirtualBox and after changing the adapter to bridged I could connect to the internet.
The problem I'm facing now is that for some reason wget is failing on a DNS lookup when I run drush dl.
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Ubuntu and networking in general. I have attached a file of the commands I'm running and the output I see hopefully someone can see where I'm going wrong.
Read moreCan't install modules
I am very new to drupal, and have decided to use quickstart to avoid fatal errors on my live site. When installing a new module, the update module asks for server connection details. All the standard usernames and passwords don't work. I have used root, example_dev, root@localhost as the different usernames and quickstart as the password. What could be wrong?
Thanks
Adam
What's up Drupal Quickstart?!
Hey everybody,
If you're following along and interested in Quickstart 3.0, we just posted an update here in our Google Group.

Happy Holidays everybody!

Read moreDemonstration Websites for QS30
My thoughts are that the new Quickstart 3.0 should eventually:
1) support the semi-automatic download of a number of demonstration websites to help learn Drupal (synergy with Drupal Ladder?);
2) provide a better mechanism than the existing Modules installation page for locating a desired module tar.gz link;
3) provide some assistance with upgrading the Drupal core by providing guidance on database backup and migrate;
4) support the concept of optional tool sets to keep the initial download smaller and allow staged learning of tools.

Read more QS 3.0 Alpha1 soon
Hey Folks,
It's in the works! But it's not ready in October.
We're working fulltime to pay the bills, and it's been difficult to find time to put into Quickstart.
Travis and Roma have been hugely helpful in moving the project forward. We wouldn't be anywhere close to done if it wasn't for their help.
The switch to Puppet, while critical to success, has been a big learning curve for me, and we haven't found anyone with the time to help.
Read moreHelp! Documentation Tzar
Howdy!
Quickstart 1.0 had many cool features, and not so great documentation.
Quickstart 3.0 plans more features, and this time we want awesome documentation.
Wanna help? We put together a straw-man Documentation Plan. We're looking for a Documentation Tsar to make Quickstart's documentation something really special.
If you like to organize information and can write for the web, here is a great way to contribute to Drupal and Quickstart :-)
Thanks!
Mike
P.S. We've started developing the Quickstart project site at http://drupalquickstart.org :-)
Read moreSilly Newbie Installation Mistakes and Ultimate Success with QuickStart
I am just 7 weeks into an intensive Drupal course (about 60 hours a week!); so my errors setting up QS are probably not the norm; though they may save others from repeating them.
The first step is to upgrade if you have less than 4GB of RAM. The virtual environment needs 1024MB (@1GB).
Read moreScrums, Moved to Github, Dev list on Google Groups
Hi, a quick update!
The last couple weeks we've had some successful scrums on Google Hangout. Open source is definitely a long-distance run, so they're helpful in keeping flow.
Also, we've moved to github, and started dev discussion on google groups.
Read moreQuickstart 3.0 in October 2012
Recently I've been working more with Drupal, and noticed Quickstart 1.0's post-installation fizzle: "470 days since your last update"!
I've been focused on billable time recently, but with Ubuntu 11.04 support ending 12.10, it's time to update my tools :-)
What's next for QS 3.0?
What I really wanted from QS 1.0, more than anything, was a debugger. A profiler was just icing on the cake.
Now, I really want a sensible dev/test/prod server ecosystem.

Hi
Firstly let me say how impressed I am with Quickstart. I'm new to both Drupal and Linux so without Quickstart I'd probably be still pulling my hair out trying to get a dev environment configured. Thanks. Great work!
