CloudPanel v1 is obsolete

CloudPanel v1 is obsolete; check out the CloudPanel v2 Docs.

On this page, we explain step by step how to setup Drupal 8 with CloudPanel.

Installation

In the following example we will setup Drupal under the domain www.domain.com.

Preparation

Before we can start with the installation, we need to create an SSH User, a Database, and a Domain.

When you Add the Domain, make sure to select the Drupal 8 Vhost Template and the right PHP Version.



Document Root

Make sure to point the Document Root to the web directory.

Installation

To install Drupal do the following steps:

  1. Login via SSH to the server e.g. with john-ssh and go to the htdocs directory:
cd /home/cloudpanel/htdocs/
  1. Delete the project directory which has been created by CloudPanel:
rm -rf /home/cloudpanel/htdocs/www.domain.com
  1. Install via composer:
php7.4 /usr/local/bin/composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^8 www.domain.com
  1. Reset permissions.
cd /home/cloudpanel/htdocs/
clpctl system:permissions:reset www.domain.com 775
  1. Copy Drupal settings file.
cd /home/cloudpanel/htdocs/www.domain.com/web/
cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php
  1. Open your domain in the browser and go through the Drupal Installer.
  1. Done! Drupal 8 is now installed.
