1. Step 2: Download and decompress Drupal install files
Download and extract all drupal files into /var/www/drupal directory:# cd /var/wwwDownload and decompress Drupal 7 install files:
# wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-7.0.tar.gz

3. Step 4: Create MySQL database for Drupal installation
In this step we will create a MySQL database to be used by our Drupal 7 website. By now you should have a MySQL server installed on your system as well as you should have a root password to access MySQL command line interface. Let's create:- Database: drupal7
- User: drupal7
- Password: drupal7-pass
# mysql -p
Enter password:
mysql> create database drupal7;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> CREATE USER 'drupal7'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'drupal7-pass';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> grant all privileges on drupal7.* to drupal7@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> quit
