PHP

Note

See the Drupal documentation

PHP sites are set-up in the pillar in the sites folder. Create an sls file with sites at the root. The sites are configured like this:

sites:
  hatherleigh_net:
    profile: php
    db_pass: password
    db_type: mysql
    db_user: hatherleigh
    ssl: False
    domain: hatherleigh.net
    packages:
      - name: drupal
        archive: drupal-6.29.tar.gz
        tar: --strip-components=1
      - name: adsense
        archive: adsense-6.x-1.5.tar.gz
        folder: sites/all/modules
      - name: views
        archive: views-6.x-2.16.tar.gz
        folder: sites/all/modules
    backup:

Warning

A MySQL user name cannot be longer than 16 characters. The db_user setting is an optional parameter and should only be used where the site name (hatherleigh_net in this example) is longer than 16 characters.

Note

The backup section is currently used for legacy sites. When the legacy sites are gone I will remove it.

Deploy

Check the deploy/upload folder (see Site - Configuration) to see if it contains the archive for the version of Drupal you want to install.

If you need a newer version, download a Drupal archive from https://drupal.org/download.

Update the sites configuration so the drupal archive contains the version you want to install.

To install Drupal and any modules listed in the packages section of the pillar file, run the fabric deploy command e.g:

fab -H web@drop-temp -f deploy.py deploy:server_name=drop-temp,site_name=hatherleigh_net,prefix=kb,version=1.0.01

Use the fabric create-db task to create the database (see Database for more information).

For instructions on how to restore the database, see Database.

To restore the files, copy a recent full backup to the server and restore just the custom bits e.g:

sudo -i -u web
cd ~/repo/project/hatherleigh_net/live/

tar xvfz \
  /home/patrick/repo/backup/files/hatherleigh_net_20131230_140527_patrick.tar.gz \
  ./images \
  ./sites/all/libraries \
  ./sites/all/modules \
  ./sites/all/themes \
  ./sites/default/files \
  ./sites/default/settings.php

If you have changed the database settings, edit:

./sites/default/settings.php

To re-start the PHP service:

service nginx restart; service php5-fpm restart
