New Server setup with CentOS 6, Drush and Drupal libs

My compilation of docs and tutorials to help me get a server setup with CentOS 6, Drush and various libs needed for Drupal 7.  Once that is complete and working, a short write-up on getting a Drupal 7 site up and running in less than 2 minutes.

1. Webmin install and setup: http://jarodms-drupal.blogspot.com/2012/07/webmin-on-ec2.html
2. Config Firewall for Webmin:   http://www.webmin.com/firewall.html
3. LAMP Setup: http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/centos-6
4. Drush in less than a minute: http://danreb.com/content/how-install-drush-centos-linux-drupal-development
5. Additional libraries for Drupal:
1. yum install php-gd
2. yum install php-dom
3. yum install php-mbstring

Additional Steps:

1. Optimize php.ini
2. Depending on server, may need to open firewall for port 80

Install Drupal 7 instance in less than 2 minutes:

1. Create MySQL Database
2. Create MySQL User/pass
3. Grant MySQL privileges for user
4. Config virtual host for new Drupal site and restart Apache

<VirtualHost *:80>

     ServerName fill-in
     ServerAlias fill-in
     ErrorLog /var/www/logs/drupal7-error.log
     CustomLog /var/www/logs/drupal7-access.log combined

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

</VirtualHost>

Use Drush to download Drupal and install site:

1. drush dl 
2. drush site-install standard --account-name=admin --account-pass=admin --db-url=mysql://SiteMySQLUser:SiteMySQLUserPassword@localhost/SiteMySQLDatabase

Drush Make on Windows

Here is a compilation of information (from posts I've found), that when combined got me drush make to work on my windows box.  Windows 7 has some issues with permissions, but I'm looking into that.

Needed to run:

• DRUPAL-6--2 branch of Drush Make - I'm using the version from 6/14/2010.
• GnuWin32 packages - I used GetGnuWin32 ( http://getgnuwin32.sourceforge.net/) for this large feat. :)
• Slash and Tar Patch - thanks to ribbles (http://drupal.org/node/625948#comment-2993878) plus Tar patch thanks to this post http://drupal.org/node/818192

1. Once GnuWin32 is installed, rename the copy of tar.exe to something else (tar-old.exe). Tar.exe is old and doesn't do the required things for drush_make.  There's more info on tar.exe on the GnuWin32 site (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gtar.htm)
2. Copy bsdtar.exe to tar.exe
3. run the drush make command: drush -v -d make standard.make Test

Here is the standard.make (example):

; This file was auto-generated by drush_make

core = 6.x

projects[] = "drupal"

; Modules

projects[] = "admin_menu"

projects[] = "dhtml_menu"

projects[] = "porterstemmer"

projects[] = "token"

Drush ckeditor-download

This is a nice command for downloading the CKEditor libraries into the sites/all/libraries folder and I have used this many times in the past, but just realized that when running on a new machine that it didn't work.

Here is the error was getting after using verbose:

Executing: svn checkout                                [notice]

http://svn.fckeditor.net/CKEditor/releases/stable/

Duh! I needed Subversion installed.  Should have been one of the first steps since I use Subversion. But.........
What if some other drush command requires CVS or Git?  I don't think a developer should have to install every version system just to make sure it works.  Then again, installing Subversion is a piece of cake. :P
