I have a working Drubb distribution at http://karen-stevenson.com/files/drubb.zip that gives you a working copy of all the relevant modules and files (the appropriate version of the 16+ modules required by Drubb, all enabled and configured), and a database dump (in the /database folder) for a Drubb Demo site. The demo database has dummy data, including dummy forum items and is set up with a user #1 username of 'admin' and a password of 'changeme'. Import the drubb.sql file into your database and add a settings.php file with the appropriate database username and password.

It uses the nifty new 960 Robots Lullabot theme (http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots) so you can switch back and forth between the core themes and a more advanced theme to be sure things are working right everywhere.

I'm providing this to make it easy to set up a demo site if you want to try it out and post patches and comments for the Drubb issues. This distribution is not going to be maintained and at some point this link won't work any more.

Can we see a demo of this?

Ignore the original post, new file and new instructions:

  1. Create an empty database for the demo, I called my 'drubb'.
  2. Download the file http://karen-stevenson.com/files/ks/drubb.zip.
  3. Unzip the file to your local document root. It is called 'drubb' but you can rename it.
  4. Navigate to the file location, i.e. http://localhost/drubb.
  5. You will prompted to install the file, use the installation profile called 'Drubb Site, Example site for testing Drubb.'
  6. Answer the usual questions about the database name, site name, and your user name and password.
  7. Sit back and wait, the database will automatically be populated by the downloaded data.
  8. Go to the home page and try it out. All the right modules will be enabled and configured and dummy data will be available.

This distribution-from-a-database-dump was created by a technique that webchick used for the Lullabot Theme Distribution and she will be blogging later this week about how to create a distribution this way :)

Thanks Karen,

great to see it all put together.

After updating all the modules the distro falls apart though. There are so many new dependencies.

Has anyone kept this alive over the weeks?

Not exactly. There is a .profile that's part of the drubb module download, though, and a script that will go and download the needed modules. It may be a touch behind now, but it's a lot more likely to work right away than this distribution.

I would say this one is now completely outdated.

I've tried the latest version of DruBB (v 1.20 2009/06/23 19:42:50 merlinofchaos)

downloading and patching all went fine. 

Patching install_profile_api with install-filter-remove-472558-2.patch...
patching file core/filter.inc
Hunk #1 succeeded at 64 (offset 30 lines).

When installing drubb I get the following error though:

An error occurred. http://drubb/install.php?locale=&profile=drubb&id=1&op=do
