[Solved]Drupal setup

Question

Hi all! I'm new in server applications and I'm trying to install drupal to work with it and make web-pages. I read the wiki for install apache mysql and php, but i have an dude. What is the purpose of the drupal package in the comunity repo? Because,  it install drupal on /usr/share/webapps and I have to copy them to my "Directoryroot" for apache server, doesn't it?
Maybe, someone can explain me how to setup the config in apache to launch drupal, or it's mandatory copy the drupal's directory to "/srv/http/".
Thank's and excuse my English!!

Answer 1

The config will be very similar to that of phpmyadmin which is installed in the same place. I'll quote some of the steps you need to undertake. Make sure you have a working LAMP installation. Give the drupal wiki a lookover for some info.
wiki wrote:Copy the example configuration file to your httpd configuration directory.
     cp /etc/webapps/drupal/apache.example.conf /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-drupal.conf
wiki wrote:
Add the following lines to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
# Drupal configuration
Include conf/extra/httpd-drupal.conf
In /etc/webapps/drupal/.htaccess, comment out deny from all. The line should look like this:
#deny from all
wiki wrote:For Drupal 7, also enable a PDO extension for your database. For MySQL, extension=pdo_mysql.so should be enabled in /etc/php/php.ini
Restart httpd then your drupal install will be available at domain.tld/drupal.
