Install drupal7 on debian 9.3.

pedros · 03-16-2018, 12:23 AM

I am trying to install the package drupal7 on debian 9.3.
I follow the instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/Drupal.
I do not understand the code, I am trying to follow the instructions.
I used a similar method to get wordpress working. Help please?
For more details, see pdscript.com/d9316.txt.

Add an Apache virtual host configuration file:
# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/drupal7.conf
add this content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName newsite.com

UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal7
Options All

<Directory /usr/share/drupal7/>
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/drup
Invalid command 'VirtualDocumentRoot'

Hi,

The VirtualDocumentRoot directive is provided by the vhost_alias module.
So if you want to use it, you need to enable the module:

Code:

sudo a2enmod vhost_alias

I think I installed everything correctly. There were no error messages. So now how to start drupal? The path seems to be /usr/share/drupal7/index.php.
$

Code:

firefox localhost/drupal7/index.php

Not Found
The requested URL /drupal7/index.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at localhost Port 80

If you used the howto in the link at your OP, then you can access drupal at http://newsite.com
