Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I am trying to install Drupal from source under /var/www/html/shlomif/Work/snepling/drupal/ on Mageia Linux 3 x86-64 , with apache-2.4.3-5.mga3 , apache-mod_php-5.4.10-2.mga3 , php-cli-5.4.10-2.mga3 and using the PostgreSQL database bindings. However, after the database choice in the server, Drupal gives me:
«Page not found.
The requested page "/shlomif/Work/snepling/drupal/" could not be found.»
and nothing is displayed on the screen. If I try to set a database prefix, the installation fails even earlier. I think the Drupal installation should be made more robust or at least this bug be fixed. The URL is http://localhost/shlomif/Work/snepling/drupal/ and setting «RewriteBase /shlomif/Work/snepling/drupal» does not appear to do anything. An older 7.x instance of Drupal is running fine.
Please help.

xjmFrom the screenshot, it looks as though Drupal is installed in the webroot. Try going to
http://localhost/.Comment #3
shlomif CreditAttribution: shlomif commented@xjm : sorry, I did not see your reply because I was not emailed about it (don't know why). In any case, I know tried to install Drupal in a brand new virtual host under / and I'm getting the same error. See the markup in the attached file. I installed it under http://snepling.work.shlomifish.org/ which maps to localhost and I get this page right after selecting the Database database name/username/password/etc. correctly.
What is going wrong exactly? And I think the installer should be more robust and handle such problems more gracefully and informatively.
