We have seen lots of tutorial which will explain a features as story and make us sleep before complete half of the article or blog, but in my tutorials I am going to follow only important notes and hints, also if any user have doubt after reading completely my tutorial they can rise a questions on the same.
In this tutorial we are going to learn how to connect drupal7 with external database, in next tutorial i will introduce what we can do with external database data's.
Steps to be followed to achieve the task.
1. Install fresh drupal7 or we can use already installed drupal7. I am going to skip this process coz tons of tutorial already available for the same.
2. After installed open settings.php file from below path using any favorite text editor,
path: www\your_site_name\sites\default
3. Go to line 215 in your settings.php file copy from line 216 to 228 and paste the same next to line 228 , do not forget to enter ',' at end of line 228.
4. First line of copied text ie: 'default' is user defined , so we can change the same as you wish. eg: blahblah.
5. From 5th line of copied text, you can change the credentials of external database and save the file to apply the changes.
6. Go to your drupal7 site and clear cache to affect the changes as we know and done tons of time.
Screen shot below after above steps completed
Here we go, we have successfully connected to external database in drupal7.
Questions are welcome...
