My New Install Routine for Drupal 5
Somebody asked me a while back about the procedure I go through on a new install of Drupal. We all have our routines and this is no different. So what do I do on a fresh install of Drupal?
Basically I go to the Site Administration Menu and start clicking:
- I enable clean URLS.
- I Set the Date and Time formats.
- I set the file system folder for uploaded files.
- I go to Site Information and name the site and enter an email address.
Now I go to the modules:
- I turn color off as I don't use the theme using that module.
- I turn on the Contact Module.
- I turn on the Path Module.
- I turn on the Ping Module.
- I turn on the Search Module.
Now that all the core modules are on that I want on, Need to set them up. I set up the contact form by entering an address and enabling it in the menus (usually I put it in the Primary Links).
That's pretty much it on a basic installation of Drupal.
