Drupal 7 / Ubercart Tutorial 1 of 10: Configuring Your Server, Database and Installing Drupal

In this first of ten drupal video tutorials on creating an e-commerce site with drupal and ubercart, we start by configuring our server. I walk you through the requirements of drupal, creating your database, creating a database user and installing drupal.

This is a great tutorial series. Well done! I have used it several times now. I am still not comfortable with going through all the steps without these videos, so it's become my go to reference for Ubercart and Drupal. I also went through your Drupal Views tutorials. Keep up the great work, man!

Thanks Frank, I appreciate the feedback! I've put up a tutorial feedback form on my site to improve my videos and surprisingly almost every response has indicated either the person has liked the speed or that I should go faster :)

Your talking is perfect! Excellent work!

Thanks Mark! Really appreciate the purchase - definitely goes towards supporting the development of additional tutorials by freeing up some of my time from development work! It would be great to hear how your site is doing once you get through the series - be sure to email me with an update.

Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry it was a "pain" to watch the free videos each of which has a description of the topic being covered...

Geez, some people. Excellent videos and they are much appreciated.

Hey! Thanks for the video. It's really detailed. I think what Starius2 means is that he didn't read the "about" section of your video description.

Thank you for sharing this video, it is very helpful.

Hi Dipak, I've never done it but I think Ubercart Marketplace module (or something like that) is what you are looking for.

Hi Pete, Many thanks for your tutorials they have been a great help. I was wondering if you know if their is a way to use product attributes to redirect to other products. For example if you had a colour attribute and were to change that option on the product you would be redirected to a different product with that colour.

Nice video couple questions. We are looking for the functionality to upload a product catalog from a .csv flat file and then design the views in a specific way. We don't need the e-commerce section but may at a later time. We have created and purchased a seperate theme and installed in on our site. Will ubercart allow for the .csv files with associated image url's in bulk and then allow us to manipulate the display to our liking or will we need to also install a display suite type module?

Thanks

Thanks for the video!

You can avoid the upload of all the files if your server can unzip your drupal zip directly. ;)

Hi Pete, Thanks for your tutorial. It's great. I just want to ask you. I know you did a fresh install of drupal directly in your webhost server. What if you developed the site locally and want to put it live to your webhost server, how do you go abouts from transferring everything i.e. the locally made site and the database? Thanks.

Hi, do you still prefer Ubercart than Commerce module for Drupal 7 ?
Thanks for the video.

To avoid all of those popups it's better to just replace WinRaR with a free alt. like 7-zip or iZarc

You've been so helpful! The instruction is really good. I found Filezilla is a good FREE option for FTP software. Thank you!

Hey there,
Im having trouble with my ubercart, i recently got a developer to develop a theme for my website, after he did this it mucked up my whole ecommerce system. I was wondering if there was a way to reset ubercart to default or if i will have to reinstall the whole system again.

If anyone has a answer please let me know
