Before you start

Hi. I'm a greybeard C programmer / Linux admin with a glancing familiarity with drupal, interested in learning how to help test Drupal 8 patches.

I've scripted the automated installation of Drupal 6 and 7 in the past, written code to migrate a site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7, and have played with Drupal 8 a bit... but am generally ignorant of the tao of drupal development.

There's a ton of stale doc out there, and guides that require too much previous knowledge... so tools / guides with, say, the level of polish of Mac Homebrew would be appreciated.

I would like to setup a front end server farm to minimize downtime for failures or updates and patches. I am looking at installing Drupal 8 on multiple Windows 2016 Servers attaching to a SQL Cluster. I already have access to a redundant hardware load balancer that I am going to use. I was thinking of setting up share storage for the sites/ directory to be able to allow all front end web servers running Drupal so that I don't have to worry/deal with file sync issues.

I want to create a web application that will display articles from a mysql database. And I'm new to drupal. I wonder if drupal can meet my needs if so. What are the procedures to follow?

Hi

I have been asked to take over a site because the developer has sadly died.

The site is

http://wsmfhs.org.uk/

I am confused because when I view the code I see no reference to sql database or any of the folders in the drupol core.

Could some kind person take a look and advise if if it is Drupol or not

thanks

Ian

I was put in charge of developing a Drupal website to meet a business need where I work. When this was run by the team in charge of servers they came back wanting to know how much memory, CPU, and disk space a provisioned server would need to host a site.

The system requirements page for Drupal 7 recommends at least 60 MB (disk space) for a website with many modules but does not include user created content, nor go into much detail about memory or CPU.
