After completing the below listed steps, you will have a working Drupal setup ready to be served via http and https. .. seealso:: |ext_lnk_example_drupal_documentation| **Table of Contents** .. contents:: :local: Overview ======== The following configuration will be used: +--------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Project name | VirtualHost directory | Database | TLD_SUFFIX | Project URL | +==============+==========================+=============+============+=================================================+ | my-drupal | /shared/httpd/my-drupal | my_drupal | loc | http://my-drupal.loc |br| https://my-drupal.loc | +--------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+ .. note:: * Inside the Devilbox PHP container, projects are always in ``/shared/httpd/``. * On your host operating system, projects are by default in ``./data/www/`` inside the Devilbox git directory. This path can be changed via :ref:`env_httpd_datadir`. Walk through ============ It will be ready in six simple steps: 1. Enter the PHP container 2. Create a new VirtualHost directory 3. Install Drupal via ``drush`` 4. Symlink webroot directory 5. Setup DNS record 6. Visit http://my-drupal.loc in your browser 1. Enter the PHP container -------------------------- All work will be done inside the PHP container as it provides you with all required command line tools. Navigate to the Devilbox git directory and execute ``shell.sh`` (or ``shell.bat`` on Windows) to enter the running PHP container. .. code-block:: bash host> ./shell.sh .. seealso:: * :ref:`enter_the_php_container` * :ref:`work_inside_the_php_container` * :ref:`available_tools` 2. Create new vhost directory ----------------------------- The vhost directory defines the name under which your project will be available. |br| ( ``.TLD_SUFFIX`` will be the final URL ). .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ mkdir my-drupal .. seealso:: :ref:`env_tld_suffix` 3. Install Drupal ----------------- Navigate into your newly created vhost directory and install Drupal with ``drush``. .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ cd my-drupal devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-drupal $ drush dl drupal How does the directory structure look after installation: .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-drupal $ tree -L 1 . └── drupal-8.3.3 1 directory, 0 files 4. Symlink webroot ------------------ Symlinking the actual webroot directory to ``htdocs`` is important. The web server expects every project's document root to be in ``/htdocs/``. This is the path where it will serve the files. This is also the path where your frameworks entrypoint (usually ``index.php``) should be found. Some frameworks however provide its actual content in nested directories of unknown levels. This would be impossible to figure out by the web server, so you manually have to symlink it back to its expected path. .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-drupal $ ln -s drupal-8.3.3/ htdocs How does the directory structure look after symlinking: .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-drupal $ tree -L 1 . ├── drupal-8.3.3 └── htdocs -> CodeIgniter-3.1.8 2 directories, 0 fils As you can see from the above directory structure, ``htdocs`` is available in its expected path and points to the frameworks entrypoint. .. important:: When using **Docker Toolbox**, you need to **explicitly allow** the usage of **symlinks**. See below for instructions: * Docker Toolbox and :ref:`howto_docker_toolbox_and_the_devilbox_windows_symlinks` 5. DNS record ------------- If you **have** Auto DNS configured already, you can skip this section, because DNS entries will be available automatically by the bundled DNS server. If you **don't have** Auto DNS configured, you will need to add the following line to your host operating systems ``/etc/hosts`` file (or ``C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc`` on Windows): .. code-block:: bash :caption: /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 my-drupal.loc .. seealso:: * :ref:`howto_add_project_hosts_entry_on_mac` * :ref:`howto_add_project_hosts_entry_on_win` * :ref:`setup_auto_dns` 6. Open your browser -------------------- Open your browser at http://my-drupal.loc or https://my-drupal.loc and follow the Drupal installation steps. .. note:: When asked about MySQL hostname, choose ``127.0.0.1``. .. seealso:: :ref:`setup_valid_https`
