Utility : Download and install | Drigg - your Digg clone software, in Drupal

The first one is the "express way" - a "Drupal distribution" offered here at drigg-code.org which includes a working copy of Drupal and a basic database schema that will give you a pre-configured site.

Or, you can do it yourself. Doing it yourself is not actually much more complicated. You will still need to configure your web server properly. You may still have to refer to Drupal's official documentation if you have any installation problems.

Drigg requires MySql 4.1 to work!

What about upgrading?

If you are already using Drigg, and would like to upgrade, all you need to do is download new versions of Extra Voting Forms, User Karma and Drigg:

• Extra Voting Forms
• User Karma
• Drigg

If a new version of Drupal is out, the "express way" (below) will definitely use it. If a MAJOR new version of Drupal came out, it might take a while for the modules listed above to catch up.

Detailed upgrading information are in the UPGRADE.txt file in any Drupal package.

Drigg - the "express" way

Installing Drupal this way is a little easier. It's basically a Drupal installation where every single step described in the "manual way" has already been carried out.

Step 1: Install Drupal

Please follow the instructions in the next section "Drigg - the manual way" - but only Step 1, and using Drigg Drupal rather than the official Drupal package.

Please remember to change the file [your_drupal_dir]/sites/default/settings.php so that it contains your database information. Also keep in mind to follow the instructions so that you can enable "Clean URLs". Drigg will only ever work with "CLean URLs" active!
