I have set up a server at home to drive a couple of sites. It runs the good old Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP configuration for serving web clients. I have chosen a minimal Drupal installation as my CMS system as it seemed to be easy to use. The Drupal system has some nice features it seems. It has the option to serve many sites from the same code base. That was the reason why I started out by making a couple of shell scripts for automating the process of making new virtual hosts for Apache, MySQL databases and Drupal installations. You can find those scripts under 'Shell scripts'. The first script makes an installation from a single codebase. The second shell script makes an intire new codebase from a chosen Drupal code base.
