Thanks to quick work by my host Liquidweb (thanks Siena!), this site is now delivered by the three fives: Drupal 5, PHP 5 and MySQL 5. Still waiting for Linux 5 and Apache 5 ;)

Recently returned from the Open Source Content Management Systems (OSCMS 2007) gathering held at the Yahoo! campus in Sunnyvale, CA.

I'm now keeping a recipe cataloging the technologies and configuration that drive this xolotl.org site.

Continue to check the recipe as the site evolves.

Once the site reaches a certain maturity, I'm thinking to build a Drupal install profile to make it easier for others to duplicate this installation.

LAMP Platform

• Ubuntu
• Apache
• MySQL
• PHP

Drupal Content Management System

• Drupal

With some work, I've now enabled OpenID user authentication. It would have been a lot easier if I weren't running Drupal 5 (for which a core OpenID module is not yet ready) or using a shared host (which meant I don't control PHP at the system level).
