You will need to provide a database for your drupal installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This assumes you have some knowledge of MySQL, and already have it
|
||
|
|
installed and configured. If not, please refer to the Gentoo MySQL
|
||
|
|
guide at the following URL:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MySQL/Startup_Guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have a database ready all you need to do is to go to this
|
||
|
|
location
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and provide the credentials required for the database access.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you installed into a vhost, for the above address to be accurate,
|
||
|
|
you need to pass -h "<host>" and -d "<install dir>" into webapp_config.
|
||
|
|
The protocol is hardcoded, so you'll have to use https:// if you're
|
||
|
|
using an SSL / TLS connection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SECURITY NOTICE: If you use SSL on your Drupal installation, you
|
||
|
|
should enable the PHP configuration option 'session.cookie-secure'
|
||
|
|
to make it harder for attackers to sniff session cookies.
|
||

To run Drupal on a web server[1] other than apache, one needs to do
|
||
|
|
some work, mostly related to adding the configuration in the .htaccess
|
||
|
|
files to the web server config files and enabling redirection.
|
||
|
|
For lighttpd you may want to check [2][3] and for nginx [4][5].

After that you can start to use drupal.
