I recently installed Drupal on my Ubuntu 8.0.4 desktop. Below are my step-by-step instructions.
1. Install Apache HTTP Server
sudo apt-get install apache2
2. Install MySQL Database Server
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
3. Install PHP5 and Apache PHP5 module
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
4. Install phpMyAdmin (Optional)
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
5. Install MySQL Administrator (Optional)
sudo apt-get install mysql-admin
6. Open php.ini
gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
7. Add the following line in the php.ini
extension=mysql.so
8. Open apache2.conf
gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
9.Add the following line of code inside apache2.conf to setup phpmyadmin under Apache
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
10. Now restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
11. Go To http://localhost/phpmyadmin
Login using your MySQL user name and password that you have set when installing MySQL server.Create a database for drupal. In my case I created a database named “drupaldb”.
12. Install GD module for php5
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
13. Download the latest stable Drupal from here.
In my case I am using drupal-6.9. Change to your default download directory.
14. Extract the drupal-6.9.tar.gz to your default web directory.
sudo tar -xvf drupal-6.9.tar.gz -C /var/www/
15. Change to drupal sites default directory
cd /var/www/drupal-6.9/sites/default
16. Make a copy of default.settings.php file as settings.php
sudo cp default.settings.php settings.php
17. Make the settings.php as writable
sudo chmod a+w settings.php
18. Make the sites/default directory as writable
sudo chmod a+w /var/www/drupal-6.9/sites/default
19. Now restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart.
