drupal on cpanel

Is drupal good for building an online store? How do I install drupal on cpanel? I don't want to use the automatic installation on cpanel, since I heard it is less customizable. Thanks开发者_Python百科

Drupal has excellent modules for building an online store.

Use cPanel to setup FTP or SSH access, then you'll be able to upload the Drupal tar ball - detailed instructions for installing Drupal here.

Some modules for creating an online store in Drupal:

• Ubercart
• Commerce

They each have dependencies, that is, modules that are required in order for them to run. They are two different approaches to creating a store in Drupal, so you'd use one or the other. Make sure you read the project descriptions listed to see which fulfil your needs the best.

Drupal is indeed known as one of the most robust CMS. It is not as used as WordPress with WooCommerce installed but it is still a pretty solid choice. I personally would recommend PrestaShop

You can easily install Drupal if your hosting provider offers Softaculous in your cPanel as well

Otherwise you need to do the following:

• Download Drupal from their site
• Upload the archive to your cPanel account, in the Directory Root for your domain
• Extract the archive from within your cPanel's File Manager
• Create a MySQL User and Database, assign the User to the Database (done through MySQL Wizard)
• Proceed with the installation by visiting your website

To install Drupal 8 on cPanel not using Softaculous:

1. Use the "MySQL Database Wizard" to create a new database
2. Give the database a name & create a user with all privileges
3. Download the .zip/.gzip file for the latest Drupal 8 package
4. Upload the file & unpack (Using File Manger in cPanel) to the root folder for the domain name
5. Change the name on the settings.php file in the sites/default folder
6. Run the Drupal 8 installation script from the domain root, entering the DB information

Make sure to keep the Drupal CMS & contributed modules up to date with the latest security versions in production.
