quickstart

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.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to Drupal, Quickstart, Drush, SSH and VB. However with some help I was able to install VB and quickstart. I would like to import our existing Drupal site into quickstart to work on it. The site is hosted with GoDaddy. I have enabled SSH.

What are the steps to import the site into quickstart / VB?

Your guidance would be deeply appreciated.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Hi folks,

I am pretty new to the quickstart camp, but so far I like it a lot. I was curious though if anyone has tried integrating pressflow into the quickstart VM? I wanted to see whether the integration of Varnish specifically caused any problems with the use of quickstart and the debugging tools? Also has anyone tried utilizing drush for installing the pressflow instance on quickstart? Any feedback would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Mitch
