To enable a decent configuration of drupal, please create a symbolic
link from ${TRUEPREFIX}/conf/modules.sample/drupal6.conf
to ${TRUEPREFIX}/conf/modules/drupal6.conf
ln -s ${TRUEPREFIX}/conf/modules.sample/drupal6.conf \
${TRUEPREFIX}/conf/modules
In order to run with standard OpenBSD chroot'ed httpd:
- make sure you can connect to your database.
Create a directory for the mysql socket.
mkdir -p /var/www/var/run/mysql
Adjust ${SYSCONFDIR}/my.cnf to put the mysql socket into the chroot.
[client]
socket = /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
socket = /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
Don't forget to set the character set to utf8 in your database.
In mysql, assuming you're connected as admin initially.
create user drupal@localhost identified by 'password';
create database drupal character set utf8;
grant all on drupal.* to drupal@localhost;
In postgresql, assuming an `admin' account has all rights:
createuser -U admin --pwprompt --no-superuser --createdb --no-createrole drupal
createdb -U drupal -E UTF8 drupal
Updating from a drupal5 installation:
a lot of things now work. Major stumbling blocks:
* views are lost. Recreating them may be quick, or very painful if you
have a lot of them.
* usernodes no longer exist.
* image has been replaced by imagefield.
- first back-up your installation, using backup and migrate
- then DISABLE all 3rd party modules
- put the drupal5 site offline
- make sure you have enough space (database, website...)
- install the drupal6 packages you need.
- cp the defaults.settings.php to the settings.php, edit it to point to
your existing database. You will often also need $update_free_access=TRUE
- point your browser to update.php
- assuming things work, go to the /admin page, enable the modules you need
- rerun update.php
- you will often need to reconstruct the permissions
- don't forget to reset $update_free_access=FALSE
