Drupal 7.x. How to install sample data<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    We have activated the theme and uploaded all modules and other files that come with the template package. Make sure that you have followed all the steps from this tutorial: Drupal 7.x. How to install theme<\/a>. You can find the tutorial in our Help Center.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Log into the admin section, open the "Configuration -> File system<\/strong>" page, set "Private file system path<\/strong>" to "sites\/default\/private\/files<\/strong>".<\/p>\r\n

    \"[SCM]actwin,0,0,0,0;\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Go to Modules<\/strong> and enable the "Demonstration site"<\/strong> module. Scroll down and save changes.<\/p>\r\n

    \"Drupal<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    Go to the "Structure -> Snapshots<\/strong>" page, select the "themeXXX" snapshot and click the "Reset<\/strong>" button. Please note that all content will be replaced with sample content<\/em><\/strong>. The snapshot may not show up in these cases: you have not uploaded all template files, incorrect permissions are set for the “sites\/default\/private\/files”<\/em><\/strong> folder or you have not set "Private file system path"<\/em><\/strong> the way we have specified previously.<\/p>\r\n

    \"[SCM]actwin,0,0,0,0;\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    We have restored the snapshot. Now we should update the database. Open http:\/\/www.example.com\/update.php (replace www.example.com with your domain name), put the site into maintenance mode and update the database (in our case database update was not required). Your Drupal installation may require a database update. Please follow Drupal instructions and update the database.<\/p>\r\n

    \"Drupal<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      \r\n

      Please skip the next 3 steps in case Snapshot was installed successfully and your website looks properly. Please note that database import should be performed only in case you experience issues with Snapshot installation!<\/p>\r\n

      In some cases (mostly due to hosting settings) you may experience issues with Snapshots. In this case you can upload sample data directly to Drupal database using a database management tool (for example, PhpMyAdmin ).<\/p>\r\n

    1. \r\n

      Back up your database<\/a> and remove all Drupal tables. Please note that your database may have tables for another engines\/installations.<\/strong><\/em> You should remove Drupal tables only. In our case only Drupal is using our database.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

    2. \r\n

      Open the Import <\/strong>tab, click Browse<\/strong> and import the “sites\\default\\private\\files\\demo\\themeXXXX.sql”<\/strong> file.<\/p>\r\n

      \"Drupal<\/a><\/p>\r\n

      You can also check the detailed tutorial on how to import SQL file using phpMyAdmin tool.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

    3. \r\n

      Refresh your site. It should now look like live demo of the template.<\/p>\r\n
