|

12 The Drupal installer will create the SQLite database for you. The only
|
Chris@0
|
13 requirement is that the installer must have write permissions to the directory
|
Chris@0
|
14 where the database file resides. This directory (not just the database file) also
|
Chris@0
|
15 has to remain writeable by the web server going forward for SQLite to continue to
|
Chris@0
|
16 be able to operate.

|
18 On the "Database configuration" form in the "Database file" field, you must
|
Chris@0
|
19 supply the exact path to where you wish your database file to reside. It is
|
Chris@0
|
20 strongly suggested that you choose a path that is outside of the webroot, yet
|
Chris@0
|
21 ensure that the directory is writeable by the web server.

23 If you must place your database file in your webroot, you could try using the
|
Chris@0
|
24 following in your "Database file" field:
|
Chris@0
|
25
|
Chris@0
|
26 sites/default/files/.ht.sqlite
|
Chris@0
|
27
|
Chris@0
|
28 Note: The .ht in the name will tell Apache to prevent the database from being
|
Chris@0
|
29 downloaded. Please check that the file is, indeed, protected by your webserver.
|
Chris@0
|
30 If not, please consult the documentation of your webserver on how to protect a
|
Chris@0
|
31 file from downloading.
