Hi, I find it somehow unusual that apps installed via webapp-config install themselves into http://localhost/$app where drupal said: >>> Emerging (2 of 2) www-apps/drupal-7.22 * drupal-7.22.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ... [ ok ] >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking drupal-7.22.tar.gz to /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/www-apps/drupal-7.22/work >>> Source unpacked in /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/www-apps/drupal-7.22/work >>> Preparing source in /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/www-apps/drupal-7.22/work/drupal-7.22 ... >>> Source prepared. >>> Configuring source in /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/www-apps/drupal-7.22/work/drupal-7.22 ... >>> Source configured. >>> Compiling source in /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/www-apps/drupal-7.22/work/drupal-7.22 ... >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: www-apps/drupal-7.22 >>> Install drupal-7.22 into /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/www-apps/drupal-7.22/image/ category www-apps * (server owned) htdocs/files * (server owned) htdocs/sites/default * (server owned) htdocs/sites/default/settings.php * (config) htdocs/sites/default/settings.php * (config) htdocs/.htaccess * (info) /mnt/1TB/usr/portage/www-apps/drupal/files/postinstall-en.txt (lang: en) >>> Completed installing drupal-7.22 into /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/www-apps/drupal-7.22/image/ ecompressdir: bzip2 -9 /usr/share/doc >>> Installing (2 of 2) www-apps/drupal-7.22 * * SECURITY NOTICE * If you plan on using SSL on your Drupal site, please consult the postinstall information: * # webapp-config --show-postinst drupal 7.22 * [cut] # webapp-config --show-postinst drupal 7.22 ================================================================= POST-INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS ================================================================= You will need to provide a database for your drupal installation. This assumes you have some knowledge of MySQL, and already have it installed and configured. If not, please refer to the Gentoo MySQL guide at the following URL: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-howto.xml Once you have a database ready all you need to do is to go to this location http://localhost// and provide the credential required for the database access. SECURITY NOTICE: If you use SSL on your Drupal installation, you should enable the PHP configuration option 'session.cookie-secure' to make it harder for attackers to sniff session cookies. References: CVE-2008-3661 http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.cookie-secure http://drupal.org/node/315703 After that you can start to use drupal. ================================================================= # When accessing http://localhost/drupal I get in apache.errorlog: [Thu Aug 08 14:48:12 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/drupal
I've update the postinstall instructions to warn that one needs to pass -h "<host>" and -d "<install dir>" in order to the postinst message to show the accurate URL (minus http vs https).
