How do I make my site a Drupal site?

If you already have an existing site setup at May First/People Link, you should open a new ticket asking to have a separate site setup for your Drupal installation. Then, you can more easily migrate your existing site to your new Drupal site.

If you are starting from scratch, you can enable Drupal by following these directions:

• Secure shell to your primary server.

• Run the command:

  mf-drupalize
  

You will be prompted to create a database and database user (be sure to record the names of the database, database user, and database password).

When you are done you will be prompted to open a web browser to complete the installation.

Notes for MFPL administrators

You can no longer run mf-drupalize as the root user.

Instead, first create the database by running mf-mysql-create (as root). Then:

su <user-that-owns-web-site-to-be-created> -
mf-drupalize

Press n when prompted to create the database.
