I have a site that is running on php (webserver) /MySQL (data server), now I want to migrate it to drupal. I am a programmer but I am new to this drupal. If anybody has experienced this kind of project migration please share your valuable experience.
Where do I start now?
I am totally blank. Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ram

Hi Ram,
Welcome to Drupal!
In a usual migration, you would generally end up creating either a content type or a Vocabulary (or a Drupal Custom Entity) for each of the entities (tables) in your conventional database.
Once you build the content types and vocabularies, then you will have to migrate the rows/records ,. ie,. migrating the actual content.
You can use Feeds module for that. Or if the content architecture is more complex with multiple node/term/user reference fields, then you can probably consider using Migrate module. It has a bit of a learning curve, but really powerful.
