Quickstart Drupal Development Environment

Right now, more than 700,000 websites are still using Drupal 7. Yet, from November 2021, Drupal 7 and 8 will no longer get updates, bug fixes or security patches. Released in June 2020, Drupal 9 will become the standard platform all organisations must use - but how can you get there?

Join experts from Acquia, Cyber-Duck, SureCloud and The Drupal Association as we talk about the future of Drupal. Discover how, when and why your business should upgrade to Drupal 9. Our webinar will discuss:

I have ported DrupalPro to Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit). It has the quickstart Drush add-on working with the latest Apache 2.4 so you can create sites very easily.

Please feel free to use it from https://github.com/jcmartinez/drupalpro14

I couldn't work without this environment and my old 12.04 version was crashing so I decided to finally spend the time and make it work.

Thanks to Michael Cole and Mike Stewart for the previous work.

For those Ubuntu user, I have been working on a shell scrip that is going to set up your Drupal development environment.

Hello there, i recently downloaded and install on my virtualbox the Quickstart 2.0 alpha, but it installed 3 virtual disc devices SATA 1, 2 and 3. the first one is 6.00GB, 2d 500.00 MB and the 3rd 20.00GB, why is that? The version 1.0 has just 1 device 16.00 GB.

I am giving a talk at Badcamp on Big Data Drupal: Cloudera Hadoop, MapReduce, Nutch, Solr, Aegir BOA, Drupal 7 ApacheSolr Views

http://2013.badcamp.net/sessions/big-data-drupal-cloudera-hadoop-mapredu...

I am trying to gather some other experts i.e. Cloudera / Hadoop / MapReduce + HyperDrupal + Twig etc to come and handle the bigger and deeper questions

Has anyone had any luck getting Quickstart to install on a physical machine? I'd like to be able to use all the scripts/tools that are provided, on my physical machine, but keep encountering errors.

Hey Everyone,

Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu, have started an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign for a highly innovative, leading edge technology phone called the Ubuntu Edge. Here's the link.

It'll be a converged device that will act as a PC with Ubuntu OS when connected to a monitor/keyboard. It'll cost 830ドル dollars but there are still lower priced perks still available.

I have a ticket for DrupalCon Portland for sale at the early bird price of 400ドル.00 USD. Circumstances changed and I'm not able to attend. Contact Katy@seascapewebdesign.com if you would like to buy my ticket.

I have failed! Quickstart 3.0beta1 is my last planned Quickstart release.

Hi,

I installed Quickstart on the latest version of Ubuntu and I immediately ran into problems when connecting to the internet.

I eventually played around with the network adapter settings in VirtualBox and after changing the adapter to bridged I could connect to the internet.

The problem I'm facing now is that for some reason wget is failing on a DNS lookup when I run drush dl.

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Ubuntu and networking in general. I have attached a file of the commands I'm running and the output I see hopefully someone can see where I'm going wrong.

I am very new to drupal, and have decided to use quickstart to avoid fatal errors on my live site. When installing a new module, the update module asks for server connection details. All the standard usernames and passwords don't work. I have used root, example_dev, root@localhost as the different usernames and quickstart as the password. What could be wrong?

Thanks
Adam

Hey everybody,

If you're following along and interested in Quickstart 3.0, we just posted an update here in our Google Group.

Happy Holidays everybody!

My thoughts are that the new Quickstart 3.0 should eventually:

1) support the semi-automatic download of a number of demonstration websites to help learn Drupal (synergy with Drupal Ladder?);
2) provide a better mechanism than the existing Modules installation page for locating a desired module tar.gz link;
3) provide some assistance with upgrading the Drupal core by providing guidance on database backup and migrate;
4) support the concept of optional tool sets to keep the initial download smaller and allow staged learning of tools.

<?php
/**
* @file
* This module is for core db search and send selected items via email.
*
* In this module, a user (registered) can search the url list and result will be displayed as list.
* The submitted data will be stored in custom table email_sents with user data , and emails will be sent.
*/

/**
* Menu for Endpoint
*
* Implementation of hook_menu().
*/
function my_module_menu() {

$items['my-module'] = array(
 'title' => t('My Module'),
 'description' => t('Search form'),
 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',

Hey Folks,

It's in the works! But it's not ready in October.

We're working fulltime to pay the bills, and it's been difficult to find time to put into Quickstart.

Travis and Roma have been hugely helpful in moving the project forward. We wouldn't be anywhere close to done if it wasn't for their help.

The switch to Puppet, while critical to success, has been a big learning curve for me, and we haven't found anyone with the time to help.

Howdy!

Quickstart 1.0 had many cool features, and not so great documentation.

Quickstart 3.0 plans more features, and this time we want awesome documentation.

Wanna help? We put together a straw-man Documentation Plan. We're looking for a Documentation Tsar to make Quickstart's documentation something really special.

If you like to organize information and can write for the web, here is a great way to contribute to Drupal and Quickstart :-)

Thanks!

Mike

P.S. We've started developing the Quickstart project site at http://drupalquickstart.org :-)

I am just 7 weeks into an intensive Drupal course (about 60 hours a week!); so my errors setting up QS are probably not the norm; though they may save others from repeating them.

The first step is to upgrade if you have less than 4GB of RAM. The virtual environment needs 1024MB (@1GB).

Hi, a quick update!

The last couple weeks we've had some successful scrums on Google Hangout. Open source is definitely a long-distance run, so they're helpful in keeping flow.

Also, we've moved to github, and started dev discussion on google groups.

Recently I've been working more with Drupal, and noticed Quickstart 1.0's post-installation fizzle: "470 days since your last update"!

I've been focused on billable time recently, but with Ubuntu 11.04 support ending 12.10, it's time to update my tools :-)

What's next for QS 3.0?

What I really wanted from QS 1.0, more than anything, was a debugger. A profiler was just icing on the cake.

Now, I really want a sensible dev/test/prod server ecosystem.

Hi

Firstly let me say how impressed I am with Quickstart. I'm new to both Drupal and Linux so without Quickstart I'd probably be still pulling my hair out trying to get a dev environment configured. Thanks. Great work!
