I have installed Virtual Machine with Drupal on Azure.

When I open it's static IP address, it shows me Welcome to user's Site page.

When I access to my VM via FTP there are multiple folders in /opt/bitnami/apps:

1. bitnami
2. drupal
3. phpmyadmin

My boss gave me backup for drupal site which are compressed in tar.gz file:

1. website source
2. sql file

Website source file has code folder which contains a lot of other folders, images and php files.

Where do I need to place this code folder? This drupal has over 9000 folders and subfolders. Also, some folders has same names and placed in diffrent places.

Where I can launch this sql file to fill database?

I'm just Rails guy and it's structure is simpler and I am just lost in these folders.

You should read bitnami drupal manual.

Restore

Change to the directory containing your backup.
cd /your/directory
Stop all servers.
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop
Rename the current directory to save it.
$ sudo mv /opt/bitnami /opt/bitnamiBackup
Uncompress the backup file to the original directory.
$ sudo tar -pxzvf application-backup.tar.gz -C /
Start all servers.
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start

Check out Wodby, it has an integration with Azure and designed to work with Drupal. You can deploy your existing website from the separate archives or via single drush archive.
