SynBERC has created a Drupal 6 version of its own intranet tools intended to assist other ERCs in setting up their own sites. A brief presentation outlining the features of the system is available. (Drupal is the content management system that synberc.org is built upon.)

The installation requires a web server with, at a minimum, the following technologies:

• Apache 1.3 or 2.x
• PHP 4.4.0 or higher
• MySQL 4.1 or higher

While the installation only takes a few minutes, the person doing the installation have a basic understanding of the following:

• FTP and moving files to a server
• Changing file permissions
• Creating a MySQL database
• Populating the database with a batch file

Once installed, the site will require an administrator who has familiarity with Drupal 6.

To begin the installation, complete the following steps:

1. Download the zipped install files (erc.zip)
2. Unzip the install files
3. Move the contents of the unzipped "installation_files" directory to your server
4. Using a web browser, navigate to the "install" directory on your server and follow the directions.

Please contact SynBERC Administrative Director Kevin Costa (kcosta@berkeley.edu) or site developer Dave Beck (dave@dbeckcreative.com) should you have any questions.
