Install Drupal on Window 2003

Tue, 2005-06-21 01:21 — sepeck

It's time to update my Windows Drupal install instructions. Here is a start, that needs some continuation.

Start of instructions on how to install Drupal on Windows 2003 IIS 6.0
I dislike installing server applications on the OS partition, but for purposes of this article I will use the c: drive While focused on Windows and IIS6, with a few minor exceptions, this article will work on a Windows XP Proffesional workstation as well

Requirements
Windows 2003 sp1 installed
IIS installed and working
SMTP service (IIS SMTP service is not available on Windows XP Home edition. You can use any number of mail servers. At the time of this writing I am using hMailServer, the configuration of which is outside the scope of this article)

note: this is in progress currently

I have been using Drupal for a little while now. Recently there has been a large influx of users to the Drupal community and website. There have also now several companies that sell services based off Drupal sites and services. This has brought a lot of pluses. One of it is a lot more documentation. When I first saw Bryght's How To Create a Dynamic Web 2.0 Brochure Site in an Hour I thought, well, that's a different way to use Drupal modules.

Building a new system

Wed, 2004-11-17 12:43 — sepeck

Recently we recieved new laptops at work. As usual, we nuked the default install and set things up the way we are accustomed to (with mandatory configuration information excluded). It occured to me that I don't have a full listing of all the tools I use and insatll by habit. This post is an effort to list what I like to do when installing a system.

Adding i386 directory so you don't have to look for the Windows XP CD [note: this works for servers too]
Copy the i386 directory somewhere on your hard drive. I like to put everything in a support directory
c:\support\i386

Edit your registry to look there for system files

This article has been thrown together as a favor for a friend. She called and said, 'hey, a friend of mine has a system that is really slow all of a sudden...'. So rather then send an email with the information again, I wrote this and sent a link.

Here are some quick links to some resources and steps on what to do.

1. System slow?
Then scan and remove spyware. You may need to load and try both products. When you install them, run the update feature, then scan your system. If all else fails, reboot your system and go to safe mode (F8 at the Starting Windows). Choose without network support and scan your system again. There have been some really nasty new ones lately.
