Install Drupal 7 on Linux

Install the PHP 5.3.3 and Apache 2.2.15,

restart your apache server:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

To function Drupal properly with apache and php

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

vi /data/testphp.php
and enter this then save :

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

restart your apache server:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Configure Mysql to work with Drupal

Install MySQL-5.6

mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE drupal;
mysql> CREATE USER drupaluser@localhost;
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR drupaluser@localhost= PASSWORD('typepasswordhere');
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.* TO drupaluser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> quit

Finally lets start with Drupal

Get the latest package here : http://drupal.org/project/drupal

Copy the file to /data
and unpack it by typing :

tar -xvzf drupal-7.28.tar.gz
cd drupal-7.28
chmod a+w sites/default
cd sites/default
cp default.settings.php settings.php
chmod a+w settings.php
mkdir files
chmod a+w files

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost

<VirtualHost 10.10.xx.xxx:80>
    ServerName www.testsite.com
    ServerAlias testsite.com
    DocumentRoot "/data/drupal"
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    <Directory "/data/drupal">
        AllowOverride All
        Allow from All
        Options -Indexes
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Add an entry in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
10.10.xx.xxx www.testsite.com

Open up browser and go to :
http://www.testsite.com/drupal-7.28
it will open up a Drupal page !

To prevent unwanted users working on them..

chmod go-w settings.php
chmod 757 files

Set Up Replication in MySQL

MySQL replication is a process that allows you to easily maintain multiple copies of MySQL data by having them copied automatically from the main-server to a Replica-server database. This can be helpful for many reasons including facilitating a backup for the data, a way to analyze it without using the main database, or simply as a means to scale out.

For the process to work you will need two IP addresses: one of the main-server and one of the Replica-server.

10.10.0.39- main-server Database
10.10.0.40- Replica-server Database

User with Sudo privileges and have MySQL installed.

rpm -qa | grep MySQL
MySQL-client-5.6.12-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-server-5.6.12-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-devel-5.6.12-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-shared-compat-5.6.12-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-shared-5.6.12-2.el6.x86_64

Configure the Main-Server Database

Open up the mysql configuration file

vi /etc/my.cnf
bind-address = 10.10.0.39
log_bin = /data/var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog_do_db = newdatabase
server-id=1

service mysql restart

Grant privileges to the slave.

mysql -u root -p

mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO '10.10.0.40'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'IctdscayK4blr';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> USE newdatabase;
Database changed

mysql> FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)


mysql> SHOW MASTER STATUS;
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+-------------------+
| File             | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB | Executed_Gtid_Set |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+-------------------+
| mysql-bin.000032 |      523 | newdatabase  |                  |                   |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The File and Position details are required while configuring slave.

mysqldump -u root -p --opt newdatabase > newdatabase.sql

mysql> UNLOCK TABLES;

mysql> QUIT;


Configure the Replica-Server Database

mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE newdatabase;

mysql> QUIT;

Import the database that you previously exported from the main-server database.

mysql -u root -p newdatabase < /path/to/newdatabase.sql

vi /etc/my.cnf
#Slave
relay-log = /data/var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-bin.log
log_bin = /data/var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog_do_db = newdatabase
server-id=2

service mysql restart

Enable the replication from within the MySQL shell.

mysql -u root -p

mysql> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='10.10.0.39',MASTER_USER='root', MASTER_PASSWORD='IctdsdkMSK4blr', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000001', MASTER_LOG_POS=  523;
Query OK, 0 rows affected 2 warnings (0.01 sec)

The above step designates, (1) the current server as the slave of our main server. (2) It provides the server the correct login credentials. (3) Last of all, it lets the slave server know where to start replicating from; the main-server log file and log position come from the numbers we wrote down previously.

mysql> START SLAVE;

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G;

mysql> QUIT;


If there is an issue in connecting, you can try starting slave with a command to skip over it:

mysql> STOP SLAVE;

mysql> SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = 1;

mysql> START SLAVE;
