Fedora & drupal7 + mysql install

Nothing difficult. Its my recipt and its case of taste how you can configure your development environment.
Lets install http server and mysql:

 yum groupinstall 'Web Server' 'MySQL Database'   

Drupal7 and phpmyadmin:

  yum install drupal7 phpmyadmin   

Mysql server start:

 systemctl start mysqld.service   



Password for mysql server root user:

 mysqladmin -u root password $PASSWORD   




Selinux disable.

In my opinion its less problems if selinux disabled at development workstation. But I do not recommend to disable it on production sites.

Disable link.




Configure drupal.conf:

 gedit /etc/httpd/conf.d/drupal7.conf   

Uncomment lines below to have site access by yourself: 

 Allow from 127.0.0.1   




Configure php.ini file. Rise up memory limit, file upload limit and enter your timezone.

 gedit /etc/php.ini   




I prefer working with localhost, where your development sites links looks like:

• example.tst
• commerce.tst

I am using drupal multisite feature and host drupal file into /home/www/sites directory instead of  default way.

Lets create required directory, symbol link, drupal sites files to new directory, add a $username and apache users to each groups and own drupal files by current user.

  rm /usr/share/drupal7/sites   
  mkdir /home/www   
  mkdir /home/www/sites   
  ln -s /home/www/sites /usr/share/drupal7   
  cp -f -r /etc/drupal7/* /home/www/sites  
  mkdir /home/www/sites/example.tst  
  cp -f -r /home/www/sites/default/* /home/www/sites/example.tst  
  gpasswd -a $username apache   
  gpasswd -a apache $username   
  cd /home   
  chown $username www -R   
  chgrp $username www -R   




Lets add custom localhost:

 gedit /etc/hosts   




That line:

 127.0.0.1     example.tst   




Lets add apache virtual host:

 gedit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf   

 

Scroll down to virtual hosts section, and uncomment line:

 NameVirtualHost *:80   




Then add new localhost to apache server:

 <VirtualHost *:80>  
   ServerAdmin username@example.com   
   DocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal7   
   ServerName example.tst   
  </VirtualHost>   




Lets start apache:

 systemctl start httpd.service   




Now we can check, enter to your browser

http://example.tst/




Easy way to create databases is at:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/




Thats it.

Very simple SimpleTest drupal example

It was done to check basics of drupal SimpleTest work.
Module part just created a menu page with some "Hello World" text.
Test should check:

1. If drupal slice generated by SimpleText exists
2. If menu page exists
3. If menu page has a string "Lets test it!"

Module code:

1:  <?php  

2:    

3:  function alternative_example_menu() {  

4:   $items['alt_example'] = array(   

5:    'title' => 'Hello World test example',  

6:    'description' => 'Its easy and fun',  

7:        'page callback' => '_alt_example_basic_instructions',  

8:    'page arguments' => array(t('Hello World')),   

9:    'access callback' => TRUE,  

10:    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,  

11:   );  

12:   return $items;  

13:   }  

14:     

15:   function _alt_example_basic_instructions($content = NULL) {  

16:   $base_content = t('Lets test it!');  

17:   return '<div>' . $base_content . '</div><br />';  

18:  }  

Test code:

1:  <?php  

2:    

3:  /**  

4:   * @file  

5:   * Tests for alternative example module.  

6:   */  

7:  class AlternativeExampleTestCase extends DrupalWebTestCase {  

8:   protected $custom_user;  

9:    

10:   public static function getInfo() {  

11:    return array(  

12:     'name' => 'Hello world example functionality',  

13:     'description' => 'Checks "Hello world" string and page',  

14:     'group' => 'Alternative Examples',  

15:    );  

16:   }  

17:    

18:   /**  

19:    * Enable modules and create user with specific permissions.  

20:    */  

21:   public function setUp() {  

22:    parent::setUp('alternative_example');  

23:   }  

24:   function testAlternativeHelloExample() {  

25:        // Load site  

26:    $this->drupalGet('');  

27:    // Load page  

28:    $this->clickLink(t('Hello World test example'));  

29:    // Look for string  

30:    $this->assertText(t('Lets test it!'));  

31:   }  

32:   }  

Web output:

Also there is possible to run SimpleTest through drush:

Nothing enormous. Tests should run faster if they will done like unit tests way but i should check that option next time.
