I have been working with Drupal 7 for 5-6 years and I have always been very happy that I found Drupal.
I have two websites running Drupal 7 with no problems. The last couple of years I have tried to learn and use Drupal 8 to see if I could go over with my websites.
Yesterday, the Bad Sunday, I was watching a webinar about how to use panels and other things in Drupal 8. They said that the distribution Lightning should be something very useful to learn more and understand Drupal 8 better.
I'm trying to create a subdomain for our Drupal 7 site, using a different template, but sharing the same Drupal core as our main site. I know there are the Domain and Subdomain modules, but I found instructions that made this look simple.
What I've done so far is to create a new directory at my root, named test.domain.com. Our host has updated DNS. I've copied settings.php into it, created Files and Themes directories, and moved the default themes into it.
ISSUE:
1. unzipped drupal to "foo22" folder
2. created "foo22" database
3. http://localhost/foo22 (or could use foo or foo22)
4. entered db info for "foo22"
5. foo22 db installed just fine
6. sitename: localhost admin_foo22 etcetera
7. "Congradulations, you installed Drupal!"
8. clicked on "Visit your new site"
9. "Welcome to Drupal" ... "No front page..."
10. click on "Add new content"
ERROR: Not Found!
The requested URL /foo22/node/add
