Commonly used Drush commands

Developer Services Portal v. 4.16.09

Drush is the Drupal command line interface. You can use it to perform many tasks as a Drupal administrator. Drush is installed for you when you install the portal.

How to run Drush commands

You have to run Drush commands from the root directory of the portal site. By default, the Developer Portal is installed at /var/www/html. Therefore, you should first change directory to /var/www/html before running Drush commands:

> cd /var/www/html

If you did not install the portal in the default directory, change to your installation directory.

Determining the portal root directory

If you do not know the installation directory, use the following command to locate the devportal.conf file:

>  apachectl -S

That command displays a line showing the location of the devportal.conf file:

*:80   192.168.52.155 (/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/devportal.conf:1)

Use the cat command to view the file:

> cat /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/devportal.conf

The output from this command lists the installation directory:

<VirtualHost *:80>

 DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
