Hi, Is there any cookbook for Drupal that does the whole installation

without going to http://<server_fqdn>/install.php manually after

installation?

Unfortunately this is a symptom of software being designed to have a

simple web interface for configuration that makes it difficult to

automatically configure it. This is because the developers naturally

then associate a web interface with a database, and these

configuration options are stored in deep, dark locations. But now that

there is a simple interface to change those, it doesn't come up that

it is hard to modify them through any other interface.

There is a drupal cookbook on the community site [1] that requires

manually browsing install.php. It also includes a recipe to install

drush. I'm not familiar with drupal, but from the drush web site it

appears to be a command line interface to drupal. Perhaps this /could/

be automated to configure drupal in lieu of the install.php page.
