Install Drupal with XAMPP in Ubuntu

Hi New Buddies/Developer,

I'm assuming that you already install xampp in ubuntu machine,if not please install xampp in ubuntu machine by following link

Requirments to Install Drupal
1) Please download latest drupal tar from drupal.org

Note I am considering drupal-6.12.tar.gz here,so you can change to latest version.

Install Drupal

Let’s install Drupal by extracting its content to “opt/lampp/htdocs”:

1. Locate the file drupal-6.12.tar.gz.
2. If it’s not on your Desktop, move the file there.
3. Open the Terminal, enter the following command:

sudo tar xvfz Desktop/drupal-6.12.tar.gz -C /opt/lampp/htdocs

1. Let’s rename “drupal-6.12″ folder to a cleaner name, “drupal”.
2. Enter the following command:

sudo mv /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal-6.12 /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal

Test Drupal

Okay, we can now verify whether Drupal has installed correctly:

1. Open your web broswer.
2. Enter the following address:

http://localhost/drupal

You should see this page:


Drupal Setup
Create a Database

In this section, we create a new database for Drupal to store data:

1. Open your web browser.
2. Enter the following address:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

1. In the Create new database text box, type in a name for your database (I named mine “creativebushido”.)
2. Click the Create button.

Configure Drupal

Having completed the installation of XAMPP, Drupal, and a brand spanking new database, we can finally go ahead and configure Drupal:

1. Open your web browser.
2. Enter the following address:

http://localhost/drupal

1. Click the Install Drupal in English link.
2. You will be likely to ecounter the following page:




Don’t fret! First, we make a copy of default.settings.php and rename it to settings.php.

1. Open the Terminal, enter the following command:

sudo cp /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal/sites/default/default.settings.php /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal/sites/default/settings.php

Next, we need to grant permissions to the settings.php file so that it’s writeable:

1. Enter the following command (press Enter after each line):

cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal/sites

sudo chmod a+w default

sudo chmod a+w default/settings.php



That should have solved all the problems! Okay, now you should be able to see the Database configuration page in your browser:


Notice that I have entered a name for my database, the same name I’d used earlier. Make sure you do the same.

Once you clicked the Save and continue button on the Set up database page, you will be directed to the Configure site page, like the picture below:


For security purposes, it tells you to remove write permissions to the settings.php file. Let’s do that:

1. Open the Terminal, enter the following command:

sudo chmod a-w /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal/sites/default/settings.php

Finally! You are now ready to enter some important informations for your new web site.

Fill out the the required information for the Site information and Administration account sections. Make sure you remember the username and password you’ve entered!



Once all the informations are filled out, click the Save and continue button.

Voila! Give yourself a pat on the back! You have just completed installing Drupal on your computer!




I hope this has been useful. If you have any technical issues, Please feel free to post your error to me.

I'm glad to creativebushido.wordpress.com blogs for to post this blog :)

Deprecate function Problem for Drupal/Joomla in PHP 5.3.x

Hi Developers,
I googled or searched a lot of forums and website to resolve the issue Deprecate Function error when installing Drupal CMS in PHP 5.3.x version but finally a got a forum i.e Click it

Solution Type 1:
Deprecate warning while installing Drupal framework in php 5.3 version.
If you prefer to keep PHP 5.3, you can always suppress the errors. In Drupal's includes/common.inc, find line 620(nearly).


It should be listed as:
if ($errno & (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_DEPRECATED)) {
Replace this line with:
if ($errno & (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED)) {


After doing above change in include/common.inc drupal folder,check the installing drupal, if you get again error then you need to Change in php.ini file also


It should be listed as:
error_reporting=E_ALL | E_STRICT | E_DEPRICATED
Replace this line with:
error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_DEPRICATED & ~E_STRICT


After finishing above change in php.ini,Please Restart your Webserver and Check the installation of drupal.

Note that every time you update Drupal you'll have to manually make this change until they finally patch them to deal properly with php 5.3

Solution Type 2:

Note :If you Still get Deprecate Error after changing all above setting, while Installing Drupal in PHP 5.3.x.
I got solution by My Colleague(Innocent )
Remove all above changes and modify following Line no 902 in includes/file.inc in drupal it resolve the deprecate error.


It should be listed as:
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && ereg($mask, $file)) {
Replace this line with:
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && @ereg($mask, $file)) {

Basic Ubuntu OS Command for Working PHP application

Now i am not providing all command which ubuntu support.

New Buddies like me want to work on ubuntu machine similary to windows machine.

Note: Unless you know what you’re doing, it’s recommended that you’re using the same files to avoid any confusion. If, for example, when newer versions are released, simply type in the correct file name when installing in the “Install XAMPP”.

Now, this tutorial is done on a Linux system (Ubuntu), not Windows. Remember earlier when I told you the tools I’d use are all free? Well, Ubuntu is an excellent alternative operating system to Windows! Give it a try, you may like it!
Install XAMPP

We install XAMPP by extracting its content to a folder named “opt”:

1. Locate the file xampp-linux-1.7.1.tar.gz you’ve just downloaded.
2. If it’s not on your Desktop, move the file there use cd ~ command Press enter.
3. Open the Terminal, enter the following command:

sudo tar xvfz Desktop/xampp-linux-1.7.1.tar.gz -C /opt
Start XAMPP

You installed XAMPP in the previous section, now it’s time to start it:

1. Open the Terminal, enter the following command:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

You should see the following lines in the terminal if everything is done correctly:

XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)…
XAMPP: Starting MySQL…
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD…
XAMPP for Linux started.

Test XAMPP

Okay, so how do you know if XAMPP is currently active?

1. Open your favourite web broswer.
2. Enter the following address:

http://localhost.
It will open XAMPP Start Up Page.
Ans:
6)Mail Configuration in Ubuntu?
Ans:Install sendmail server in ubuntu machine
7)Execution php files in the XAMPP?

[username@localhost ~]$cd / press enter
[username@localhost ~]$cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/ press enter
[username@localhost ~]$sudo mkdir examples press enter
[username@localhost ~]$sudo chmod 777 examples press enter
Now Go to filesystem (root/opt/lampp/htdocs/examples) and create php file(i.e test.php) in the folder.

Module Development In Joomla 1.5x

TUTORIAL FOR COMPONENT
This article will discuss about the basic of module development in Joomla! 1. we are going to create a module which will randomly display the comment from guestbook comonent.

Preparation

For the preparation, you can use this insert statement to register your new module to Joomla! database.

INSERT INTO `jos_modules` (`title`, `ordering`, `position`, `published`, `module`, `showtitle`) VALUES
('Comment', 19, 'left', 1, 'mod_comment', 1);


Write The Code

Developing module is simpler than developing component. For the start, you just need one file to store your PHP code. So, create a new folder called mod_comment under modules folder inside your Joomla! root folder.

Then, create a new file inside your new folder and name it mod_comment.php. With this file, we're going to display a random comment from guestbook including the sender name and the sending date.

<?php<br />## NO DIRECT ACCESS ##<br />defined('_JEXEC') or die("Restricted access.");<br /><br />## GET THE DATABASE OBJECT ##<br />$db=JFactory::getDBO();<br /><br />/*** THE MODIFIED CODE STARTS HERE ***/<br />if($params->get("start_date", "")!="" && $params->get("end_date", "")!=""){<br /> $queryCount="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #__guestbook WHERE DATE(datetime) BETWEEN '".$db->getEscaped($params->get("start_date", ""))."' AND '".$db->getEscaped($params->get("end_date", ""))."'";<br /> $querySelect="SELECT name, comment, datetime FROM #__guestbook WHERE DATE(datetime) BETWEEN '".$db->getEscaped($params->get("start_date", ""))."' AND '".$db->getEscaped($params->get("end_date", ""))."'";<br />}<br />else{<br /> $queryCount="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #__guestbook";<br /> $querySelect="SELECT name, comment, datetime FROM #__guestbook";<br />}<br />/*** THE MODIFIED CODE ENDS HERE ***/<br /><br />$db->setQuery($queryCount);<br />$total=$db->loadResult(); <br />$start=rand(0, ($total-1));<br /><br />$db->setQuery($querySelect, $start, 1);<br />$row=$db->loadObject();<br />?><br /><div style="margin-left:5px"><br /> <?php<br /> if($row!=null){<br /> ?><br /> <div style="font-weight:bold"><?php echo $row->name ?></div><br /> <div style="margin-left:10px"><br /> <div style="font-style:italic">"<?php echo $row->comment ?>"</div><br/><br /> <div style="text-align:right;font-size:10px"><?php echo JHTML::Date($row->datetime) ?></div><br /> </div><br /> <?php<br /> }<br /> else{<br /> ?><br /> <i>No comment to be displayed.</i><br /> <?php<br /> }<br /> ?><br /></div>
Run It

Now, open your Joomla! web, you will got a randomize comment displayed on your module. You can refresh your page to see if it works. You can also manage its placement from the Joomla! administration page.
