CiviCRM installation process

Pre-requisites: Ubuntu packages: php5-ldap php5-sybase. Restart apache afterwards.

Install drupal 7 (currently 7.15)

Install the drupal-ldap module

Install drush 5.7

Install civicrm 4.2.1

Add localisation, to allow for English (UK) language:
Be in /var/local/civicrm/drupal/sites/all/modules

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/civicrm/civicrm-stable/4.2.1/civicrm-4.2.1-l10n.tar.gz

Then follow additional localisation instructions at: ​http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviCRM+Localisation

Log in as the site administrator account, and go to /sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php

Provide details of civicrm database connection and other pre-install configuration.

Full details of the installation step here: ​http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/Drupal+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.2+-+Drupal+7

Then use the configuration checklist within the CiviCRM module.
Disable CiviMail, CiviMember, CiviEvent and CiviCampaign.

Change date and time representations to UK format using Administer >> Localization >> Date Formats

In Administer >> Localization >> Address settings turn off 'post code suffix', 'county', latitude, longitude, street address parsing. In the two format boxes, shift the supplemental_address_1 field ABOVE the street_address field.

Issues

Default preferred language for contacts is still 'English (US)' - how do we change that?
