Custom PHP configuration, Drupal, Drush, and Upload Progress all in one shot

#1

I wrote this shell script to automate the
[list]
[]Installation of a custom PHP.ini configuration
[]Installation of Drupal
[]Installation of Drush (the command-line tool for Drupal), and
[]The installation of the Upload Progress module that Drupal is always bugging you about
[/list]
You should be able to use it by doing the following:
[list]
[]Copy the code below and save it to a file called installthemall.sh
[]Log in to your FTP account (I prefer using WinSCP on Windows, because it will log you in with PuTTY as well regular FTP)
[]Upload installthemall.sh to your server
[]Open PuTTY and type sh installthemall.sh
[/list]
Note: this assumes you want to install Drupal 7.7 (which is currently the latest version). To change that, find/replace drupal-7.7 with whichever version you wish to install.

=========================== ALMOST DONE... ====================================

One more thing to do though: add the following 4 lines to the VERY TOP 
of the file called ".htaccess":

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi

Good luck!'

You’re taking an incredibly roundabout method to customize your php.ini. There’s a much simpler method described at:

#3

Yeah – that’s where I got a line or two of the code from, actually. As the post says at the top though, this script is for
[list]
[]Installation of a custom PHP.ini configuration
[]Installation of Drupal
[]Installation of Drush (the command-line tool for Drupal), and
[*]The installation of the Upload Progress module that Drupal is always bugging you about
[/list]

Even for that, you don’t need to use a custom .htaccess / php-wrapper.fcgi setup for PHP 5.3. You can set up a custom PHP.ini by just dropping the configuration in $HOME/.php/5.3/php.ini — the default PHP interpreter will read a configuration from there if one is present.

I cannot get this extension to work. When I switch to PHP 5.3, I can get the extension loaded(phpinfo() shows 1.0.2 enabled) but no read out(I have disabled the Extra Web Security). Under PHP 5.2.17, I can force it to read from my php.ini file($HOME/example.com/cgi-bin/php.ini) but it will not load the extension. I have extension_dir = “/home/myuser/mydomain/cgi-bin” and extension=uploadprogress.so but it never shows up in the phpinfo(). Any ideas?
