Drupal 101 - Installing and configuring Drupal 6

This paper was delivered at Boise CodeCamp on March 26th and 27, 2010 as part of the Drupal Track. I am an active member of the Boise Drupal Group.

Drupal System Requirements (Both 6 and 7)

Drupal requires a web server, PHP 4 (4.3.5 or greater) or PHP 5 (http://www.php.net) and either MySQL (http://www.mysql.com) or PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org). The Apache web server and MySQL database are recommended; other web server and database combinations such as IIS and PostgreSQL have been tested to a lesser extent. When using MySQL, version 4.1.1 or greater is recommended to assure you can safely transfer the database. For more detailed information about Drupal requirements, see (http://drupal.org/requirements).

SLAMPP LiveDVD Development Platform

This paper was delivered at Boise CodeCamp on March 26th and 27, 2010. I am a co-maintainer of the SLAMPP Distribution

What is SLAMPP?

SLAMPP turns a personal computer into an instant server which provides support for common protocols, such as: HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, POP, IMAP, SMTP, SSH, DHCP, Squid, etc.

Web developers can use SLAMPP to show their work to others. Just put your configured web projects on the CD/DVD and then liveclone's special scripts takes care of the rest, creating a new ISO which you can burn to a new DVD.
