  • State of Drupal in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)

    After the new version of Ubuntu (9.10 or Karmic Koala) has been released, I put here a short status on Drupal 6 packages in Ubuntu.

    The good new is that there is a package for Drupal 6 in most recent Ubuntu versions:

    • Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) has Drupal 6.10
    • Karmic Koala (9.10) has Drupal 6.12
    • Lucid Lynx (10.04) - not yet released - has Drupal 6.12

    The people supporting Drupal packages in Ubuntu need obviously more support and knowledge from Drupal community, in order to proceed. See open bugs and join if you can help: Bugs in Drupal 6 package in Ubuntu.

    Just to recall:
    sudo apt-get install drupal6
    for installing Drupal

    Then - at the time of writing this post - some more steps necessary:

    1. enable an Apache module and restart Apache:
    2. sudo a2enmod rewrite
      sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    3. change the line 97 in /etc/drupal/6/htaccess
    4. from this one:
      # RewriteBase /drupal
      to this:
      RewriteBase /drupal6

    5. open your browser and start the install process of Drupal:
    6. http://www.example.com/drupal6/install.php
