How to Install and Configure Drupal CMS
Drupal is a feature rich Content Management System 
(CMS) which allows webmasters to run dynamic website 
without PHP knowledge. Publishers can add website 
content through admin interface. Thanks many modules 
it is possible to install a lot of additional features like 
spell check, displaying banners or AdSense ads, chat, 
mailing list, e-commerce modules etc. Drupal CMS was 
written in PHP and can be downloaded free of charge. In 
this article I will explain how to install this script and 
describe the configuration basics.
Web hosting requirements for Drupal CMS
Before you start the installation process, ensure that 
your web host offers PHP support, cron jobs and MySQL 
database. Drupal requires PHP version 4.3.3 or higher 
(Drupal 4.5 and earlier versions will not run on PHP 5), 
PHP XML extension and MySQL v3.23.17 or higher. If you 
are not sure which version of PHP and MySQL your web 
hosting provider currently uses, contact their help desk 
and ask them first.
How to install Drupal CMS
First download the latest Drupal release from 
developers website. Use software such as WinZip or 
Total Commander to extract downloaded archive to your 
hard disk. Edit the file called settings.php located in 
sites/default folder. Set up your website url and basic 
MySQL database variables like username, password and 
database server. Use any ftp program to upload 
extracted files to your web host. In case you have never 
set up MySQL database, login to the web hosting control 
panel and create a new one. Now login to your 
phpMyAdmin and create MySQL tables using the 
database.mysql file located in "database" folder. Now 
open your browser and point it to your website. Create a 
new account -- the
first account you will create will automatically become 
the admin account with full admin rights.
Another and easier solution how to install this PHP 
script is to sign up for a quality web hosting service 
which offers pre-installed PHP scripts. Then easily go to 
your control panel, find the section with pre-installed 
scripts and select Drupal. The installer will do all the job 
for you. All you need to do is to choose the script you 
want to install.
How to configure Drupal CMS
The script was successfully installed and now is the time 
to do some additional settings. Optionally, you can 
create in your Drupal installation directory folder where 
will be stored files such as custom logos and user 
avatars. Create this subdirectory and set up "read and 
write" permission. Many Drupal modules have periodic 
tasks. From this reason you will need to setup cron jobs. 
Call the cron page by visiting cron.php file in your root 
directory.
Now browse the admin control panel. Consider to 
enable some new modules and edit menus. Open 
"theme manager" to change the theme. Set up welcome 
message for your users. Modify meta tags for higher 
search engine placement. Check settings and make sure 
that everything fits your needs. And if you will need to 
help with some specific problem visit support forum 
where you will find thousands of interesting threads. 
Good luck!
