ubuntu

Through my searching, I have found many tutorials and HOWTos for installing Drupal. I haven't seen anything that addresses the traditional method for web development which maintains separate systems for development and production. I'm hoping that with your help, we can document a way to easily move Drupal sites (all files and database data) between systems to facilitate a better work-flow between a development environment and a production environment.

Hello all! I've been looking through this group's discussions, and am very thankful for all the help and advice. Here's my situation: I recently moved from shared hosting to a VPS (Linode.com). I'm a relatively competent with html/css/php, etc., but am fairly noobish when it comes to the whole server side of things. I can find information, and follow and adapt tutorials, but have a hard time knowing how to hack things out from scratch.

So I've set up my VPS running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) with Apache2, mysql, and php, and have my vhosts up and running with drupal. What I want to do now is set Nginx up as a static file server, leaving dynamic content to Apache and mod_php. I just haven't been able to find a comprehensive tutorial for how to do that, taking drupal into account (specifially, image_cache and boost). Basically what I'm looking for is this:

http://www.lullabot.com/articles/using-lighttpd-static-file-server

But geared towards Nginx instead of Lighttpd (because of the memory leak issues I've read about). Can anyone point me towards some good resources to help me get this set up?

Thanks a ton!

Hi all,

I am new to Ubuntu, and have a question how to set up a Drupal on Ubuntu.

I have installed Apache, MySQL, PHP 5, phpmyadmin, etc, and they work fine. But one problem is left. Drupal warns me that there is no mail server working, when I finish setting up a new site with Drupal.

However, some say that installing a mail server is unnecessary, because Ubuntu sends e-mails out of the box. (http://groups.drupal.org/node/22401#comment-77421)

Is this true? If so, how can I take advantage of this feature?

I’m pretty new to the world of hosting one’s own site, so have few newbie Qs.

1) I’ve been trying to setup a vhost for our new site so I can keep the existing dev site separate. I’ve created an A record with our DNS host for our new domain, and then followed the instructions here (http://drupal.org/node/111238) to set up a vhost on our Ubuntu server, when I got this error message:

Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/amherstmedia.org:
Invalid command '\xc2\xa0\xc2\xa0\xc2\xa0', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Hi

I tried to install aegir on ubuntu via the shell script. (On an ubuntu 9.04 VMWare image)
First question: in the wiki they mention to "su - aegir" to run the script instead of "sudo". But how can you do it when the aegir user isn't created yet (this is done in the script).

So i did sudo sh install.sh. Everything went fine, I tried to install the domain "aegir.local". After the installation, I'm not able to reach aegir.local. (firefox says address not found) What do I need to do?

Thanks for your help...

Hello,

I've installed Ægir into Ubuntu server ( latest version, Jaunty? running in VMware on OSX), using the install script. Ægir installed and configured fine and i can create sites, but i'm having trouble viewing the sites because of ( what i'm guessing is) my DNS settings.

I followed this guide: How To Setup an Ubuntu LAMP Server for Development Purposes Only
But I've run into a problem. The Server I setup is on a VM (VirtualBox). I did this so I wouldn't have to manage it on my local machine and I could easily turn it on/off when needed. I used 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 Server. I gave the VM it's own Static IP address (192.168.1.105) and HostName (LAMPVM) via my Routers config.
The problem I've run into is when I try and access my virtual hosts from my HARDmachine (not the VM), it doesn't work...

So, you probably have heard of drush, and maybe you have not tried it yet. I tried it quite a while ago, and found it to be somewhat of a hassle. But I yesterday I decided to give it another go, and see all the buzz everyone's talking about.

Hey guys,

I have a document root with code I would like subversion manage and apache operate.
Is sounds like /var/www is owned by root:root and nobody else can checkout from cvs, edit or copy a file
Should I create a Group and Add www-data and SVN username into new Group?

Kind Regards,
Jorge.

There is something brewing over at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDrupal
