drupal.sh script
wizonesolutions opened this issue · 5 comments
I work a lot with Drupal - in fact, that's what I've created both times I've used TuxLite on new servers so far. I notice there's a wordpress.sh script but no drupal.sh. I'm thinking of writing a drupal.sh in the same style as wordpress.sh, so creating an issue to get your thoughts on that. If/when I write it, I'll obviously make a proper pull request.
Drupal is a popular script so I'll be more than happy to merge your code when its available.
I'll also look into a unified script installer, e.g. a single script that loads multiple installers. This way, a lot of redundant code (domain & MySQL detection) can be avoided because contributors only need to write the function to download/extract/install the individual scripts.
Sounds great!

Drupal also has a command-line tool called Drush; that in itself provides a
lot of functionality for installing and configuring Drupal sites, so
chances are I will just install that through the script - it can be
installed via PEAR - and then call it to do stuff. Why re-invent the wheel,
right?

Interesting bit on Drush. I checked its source code but its not obvious to me how the download.pm.inc code pulls the latest version from drupal.org. I was curious to see how its done because Drupal does not provide a "latest.tar.gz" like other scripts do.
The discussion here seems to have a good solution for this issue
http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/23700/how-to-find-download-latest-drupal-version-via-bash
By the way, I'm thinking it's probably a better approach to first try using bash for this task :-
- Less reliance on external scripts, especially when the installation process is fairly simple
- No need to install "unnecessary" packages (php-pear / Drush / php-cli)
- Possibly easier to understand/edit code for those who are unfamiliar with Drupal
Ok, that makes sense. Will check out that link.
