README.TXT - Help for beginners, general documentation.

1/ Is there a wiki or some guide for using drush?

Yes - Google and the Drush project list several - this project is Drubuntu however.

2/ What do I need to do next?

What do you want to do?

3/ I use to work on my site while they already on the sever and not on my computer server, does it matters?

This is a local sandbox setup - if you work on your server you don't need it.

4/ What this Install sepose to do? Is there a guide for the use of Drubutu?

See project page - more specific questions welcome. No documentation yet - you are welcome to contribute :)

This is a fantastic module, but I can't get a D7 installation to run in the workspace folder unless clean urls are turned off. Any ideas why?

@#3: I don't know why, but you could try disabling the overlay module in D7 and see if that makes a difference. Some time ago I did a test run of D7 (not with Drubuntu though) and I had problems with clean urls. I thought it was because I misconfigured my Ubuntu.

Overlay works fine with clean urls off. Nothing works with clean urls on - access denied on all pages despite being logged in as user 1 and not able to log in. All fine again without clean urls.

This is with me basically ignoring the Drubuntu installation / symlinks etc and putting a fresh D7 install in the workspace directory. The clean urls on D6 Drubuntu installs are working fine. I want to use this though as the environment it sets up is so much quicker than eg an XAMPP install.

Yes, but I meant that possibly clean urls would work when Overlay is turned off (and not that Overlay isn't working with clean urls disabled, as you say). Just a wild guess you could try. But maybe it's more likely that uncommenting RewriteBase / in your .htaccess works.
If it doesn't, maybe some of this could help.

I'm going to revive this because there is very little information as to how one should go about getting to work from stage one.

For example. I've been doing my development on a remote server, upload some code, refresh the page, repeat until done. It's cutting into my productivity, so I looked around for an easy way to get a top-class drupal development environment set up on ubuntu. Naturally I found Drubuntu.

The bootstrap script is very impressive, though I am concerned over some of the errors I encounter.

Once finished, I can browse to http://sandbox.drupal, wow! But it's a drupal 7 site, curiously...
Even though I used the 6.x version of drubuntu.

So I spent a lot of time reading issues here and finally figured out how to use drubuntu-site-add to create a 'development-drupal' site. But that's drupal 7 too, not drupal 6, which our client's site is based on.

Furthermore, I launch eclipse but it starts up in Java mode, and since I don't know eclipse, I don't know how to hook it into the Drubuntu setup.

I download my code from git, spend some time trying to decide whether to stuff a drupal 6 codebase into the /drupal directory, and finally decide that I've come close enough to 'hacking core' with this and, frustrated, give up and come over to post an issue.

There really needs to be a step-by-step guide to setting up a new platform and using each of the included tools with it, to introduce new users to this fantastic, but unfortunately impenetrable setup.

How To, or getting into your new drubuntu installation.
1. Create a new platform
2. Create a site on that platform
3. Use eclipse to write a 'hello world' module.
4. Use XDebug and other tools to step through the code on your hello world page.
5. ???

Hello @carlthuringer,

You are correct, there needs to be better documentation for Drubuntu. It's still a bit of a moving target in some ways, and some of your confusion is really not something Drubuntu should document. For example, we need a link to using PHP with Eclipse, not a fresh tutorial. (I could use that myself, see #1013766: Eclipse Error on Site Add.)

The documentation work list looks like so:

1. Heavily revised project page.
2. README.txt describing the what & how of Drubuntu.
3. An INSTALL.txt to clarify anything uncertain about installation.
4. Enhanced documentation as part of the drush commands Drubuntu defines.

If you type drush help drubuntu-site-add you will see an --install-platform command (IIRC). This will allow you to specify something like drupal-6 to spin up the latest version of Drupal 6. Now that 7 has officially launched, it is the default version of Drupal installed.

This project is purely community-driven, and with only a couple contributors. I am active here so I can quickly get a new laptop set up. It's not really the kind of project that will be a beginner-accessible, passively usable product for a while.

I don't know why the issue is marked as maintainer needs more info, what's really needed is someone with time to step up and start writing.

I'm not suggesting an Eclipse tutorial, but a quick walkthrough would be very handy. Just something pointing out how Eclipse sees the directory and files, how to add files to the project so they work nicely with Eclipse, Drush, Apache, and your VCS or DVCS of choice. (Git). That's why I thought a 'hello world' module would be a good example. If people need to know more about using eclipse, there's plenty of documentation out there to support them.

Agree, 'needs work', not 'more info'
