Using the Drupal.org testing profile

The Drupal.org testing profile is an installation profile that can be used to create a test site that is configured in a similar way to the drupal.org site.

In general, to use an installation profile you do the following:

1. Create a database and/or database user for your installation.
2. Download and extract the latest fully packaged release of the installation profile into your web root directory.
3. Visit install.php and select the "Drupal.org testing profile"

There are some configuration options that you might want to change before you install Drupal. Using a text editor, open the /profiles/drupalorg_testing/drupalorg_testing.profile file and change any of the options at the top of the file.

Warning

Make sure that the "files/issues" folder exists in your Drupal root before you install the profile. Otherwise, none of the patches will get attached correctly.
