Installing Drupal

To install Drupal:

1. Download latest stable version of Drupal
2. Upload them to the directory that you want to install
3. Extract the tar.gz or zip file to the directory
4. Move one directory up because the tar.gz or zip file would be extracted in one directory
5. Copy /sites/default/default.settings.php and change default.settings.php (you would see two files inside /sites/default/ folder - default.settings.php and settings.php)
6. Modify file permission for settings.php
7. Run install
8. Change permission for settings.php and other folders as directed by Drupal
  • /default on 755
  • /default/files including all subfolders and files on 744 (or 755)
  • /themes including all subfolders and files on 755
  • /modules including all subfolders and files on 755
  • /default/settings.php and /default/default.settings.php on 444

That's it~
