Joomla & Drupal in one box

Thank you for making the installation of Joomla so very easy.

But now I want to install Drupal on the same box, running only one instance of Apache, PHP & MySQL.

I was able to create the database for Drupal in MySQL, but I am finding it very difficult to configure Apache to point to Drupal, so I can run the install.php for setting up the Drupal software.

Can you please help me?

Hi,

In which folder have you extracted the Drupal tarball? Are you using Linux or Windows?

Hello all, my problem is with the drupal bitnami stack.
I am running it on mac os x (leopard).
this might be a stupid question but once installed it is all fine… I access it no problem, managed the admin section, etc. After I turned my computer off and then on I don’t know where to go to access it again.
I go to the bookmark that I made on my internet browser the first time but I get an error that the page doesn’t exist.
My guess is that the stack is not running.. There is a new folder called drupal in my applications made by the drupal stacks installer I guess, what in there would run the drupal in my browser???
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Charter,

You should to start the servers before to access to Drupal. It is easy, open a terminal and type:

$ cd /Applications/drupal-*
$ ./ctlscript.sh start

And you can see your drupal at http://localhost:8080

I hope it helps you.

Hello beltran and thanks for your reply.
I tried what you suggested and I get this in terminal:

lenny:~ lsm$ $ cd /Applications/drupal*
-bash: $: command not found
lenny:~ lsm$ bq. $ ./ctlscript.sh start

once in my browser I get the same message saying “it can’t connect to server”

any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?
thanks

Sorry for the confusion,

The ”$” is only the shell symbol, you should type:

cd /Appllications/drupal*
./ctlscript.sh start

thanks beltran, but again I get:
lenny:~ lsm$ ./ctlscript.sh startcd /Applications/drupal*
-bash: ./ctlscript.sh: No such file or directory
lenny:~ lsm$ ./ctlscript.sh start

I am sure that the drupal folder is called “drupal” and it is inside “Applications… so I don’t know why I get the “No such file or directory” notice.
hmmm!... any ideas?

Your first command is wrong, it is supposed to be

cd /Applications/drupal*

After that, type

./ctlscript.sh start

Cheers

thanks for the patience!... got it right this time and it is working! THANKS A LOT! :)

Antonio, I tried the command lines suggested and they worked but do I have to run these command lines on my Macbook every time I restart the laptop/browser?

Hi Johnb,

Yes, you must to run these command lines when you reboot your laptop.

You can install it as a service in your laptop and it will be started up during your laptop boot. You can find a how to at http://www.bitnami.org/article/how-to-install-services-on-osx

Cheers,
Manu.

Manu,
