I just installed Turnkey LAMP Stack Appliance , and I need to install Drupal,

  • 0

I just installed Turnkey LAMP Stack Appliance, and I need to install Drupal, Redmine and a few more appliances, I read the documentation but did not understand how to install them on the same server, the documentation said to install them as a virtual machine, but that doesn’t mean that I will have a LAMP instalation for every applicances (different Apache/PHP/mysql configuration) ?

I try to install drupal6 via Webmine (dpkg) didn’t work, I installed via apt-get and worked, but can’t find any link to the “Drupal Administration interface” in webmine :(.

So the question’s are:

There is a way of instaling multile appliances on the same server sharing the same LAMP instalation, or I need to instal them via WM, and configure LAMP for each instalarion ?
How would you install them ?

Thank you

    There is a way of instaling multile
    appliances on the same server sharing
    the same LAMP instalation, or I need
    to instal them via WM, and configure
    LAMP for each instalarion? How would
    you install them?

    TurnKey Linux Appliance is easy-to-use one-purpose solution which you can deploy in minutes on bare metal, virtual machines, or in the cloud. It contains nice web management interface, web shell, and simple configuration console, is lightweight (~150MB each, no redundant packages preinstalled) and secure, but it is basically tuned Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (quotes are from TKL site).

    To sum up it’s just Ubuntu with LAMP and some goodies preinstalled, so if you want to deploy more than one application on one machine (no matter virtual or bare metal) you’ll have to install Drupal, Webmine and other packages manually (probably using apt-get), configure them and Apache’s VirtualHosts etc. as Charter wrote and you pointed out in comment.

    So where is TKL strenght you ask? It’s in virtualization. In your case you want to deploy Drupal, Webmine and for expample MySQL Appliances. You have one server and three appliances then. On your server you install some free bare metal full-virtualization hypervisor (could be VMWare ESXi or Proxmox VE or Linux host with VirtualBox installed, then you create three VMs on you virtualization platform and install each of them configuring them as you want (main configuraion of Drupal / Webmine / MySQL is from TKL), configure VMs network so they can be accessed from Web, and you finish with three separate server environments, each dedicated for one purpose.
