what’s the stack?


what’s the stack?Debian “Squeeze” (6)

Percona 5.5.33

PHP 5.3.27 (from Dotdeb)

nginx 1.2.3 (from Code Enigma)


installingIf you block install.php:

It has moved!

/core/install.php


file system


file systemDrupal 7

755 everything

Application only writes to sites/%site


file systemDrupal 8

What about CMI?

By default it sits in ‘files’

What about VCS?


$config_directories = array( CONFIG_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY => array( 'path' => '/some/directory/outside/webroot', 'absolute' => TRUE, ), CONFIG_STAGING_DIRECTORY => array( 'path' => '/another/directory/outside/webroot', 'absolute' => TRUE, ),);

file system


file systemIf you alter the path, also make sure the web server can read and write from/to that path!


file systemAnd deployment?

Keep ‘staging’ in Git


.htaccessIncludes have moved to /core/includes/

New rewrite rules to push update and install requests to new /core/ paths

Optional rules for additional security


# Uncomment the following two lines to only # allow PHP files in the webroot and in "/core":# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/core/[^/]*\.php$# RewriteRule "^.+/.*\.php$" - [F]

.htaccess


.htaccessAlso, TXT files!

All moved to /core/


drushWhat works?

Pretty much everything!

drush si

drush cc

drush uli


drushWhat’s new?

CMI

config-edit (cedit) config-export (cex) config-get (cget)config-import (cim)config-list (cli)


drushAnd deployment?

These new drush commands for CMI are important!

drush cmi <- importing ‘staging’ config to ‘active’
