 <code> mysql -u root -p$yourmysqlpassword
  create database drupal; grant all privileges on drupal.* to drupal@localhost identified by 'drupal'; exit;</code>
 Note: For security purposes, you should use a Drupal username and password that are different than our example.
+===== Set Index File =====
+An index file needs to be set in the LiteSpeed Web Admin Console. Navigate to **Virtual Hosts > Select Virtual Host from List >  General > Index Files**, click **Edit** in the top right corner, and enter **index.html,index.php** in the **Index Files** box.

+===== Download and Extract Drupal =====
+To illustrate setting up Drupal on a vhost we'll use the default virtual host, “Example”. You can download drupal from their official [[https://www.drupal.org/download|download page]].
+Please note that the document root of 'Example' virtual host is **/usr/local/lsws/Example/http/**
+If you have downloaded in zip format, use following:
+<code>
+unzip drupal-8.x.x.zip
+mv drupal-8.x.x/* .
+</code>
+Or if you have downloaded in tar.gz
+<code>
+tar zxf drupal-8.x.x.tar.gz
+mv drupal-8.x.x/* .
+</code>
+===== Drupal Installation =====
+Open the browser with URL ''<nowiki>http://server_IP:8088/</nowiki>''
+==== Choose language ====
+This will start the Drupal web installer and it will look something like this:
+{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:drupal-1.png?600 |}}
+Select your preferred language and click **Save and Continue**.
+==== Choose profile ====
+{{ :undefined:installation-profile.png?600 |}}
+Select your installation profile. You have two options here:
+  * Standard.
+  * Minimal.
+Standard would be fine for most users. With Minimal, you will have the option to manually choose which functions to install. For now, you should select Standard.
+==== Verify requirements ====
+On the next step, Drupal checks if all of the requirements are met on the server side. First, make sure to create a settings file using the following command:
+  cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php
+Second, make sure that the folder which contains Drupal (and all folders/files inside of it) is owned by the user under which the web server runs, in this case user ''nobody''.
+Once the requirements are met you will be directed to enter database information.
+==== Set up database ====
+{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:drupal-db.png?600 |}}
+We've created the database above. Just enter the database details and click **Save and continue**. If the Drupal installer is successfully able to connect to the database, it will start the installation process.
+==== Configure site ====
+On this step, the installer will let you configure settings for your site. Example settings are:
+  * **Site name:** ''Litespeedtech''
+  * **Site email address:** ''drupal@example.com''
+  * **Username:** ''litespeedtech''
+  * **Password:** ''litespeedtech''
+Once you are satisfied, you can finally click **Save and continue** and your installation is successfully completed. You will now be redirected to the Drupal homepage, which looks something like:
