Installing Drupal

There is a situation that should be unacceptable to all drupal pros out there.  I am currently transitioning from my Ubuntu 16..04 LAMP Server to a Bitnami 7.59 Drupalstack (because I am tired of fiddling with email servers on a development server) :P . Only to discover that Bitnami does NOT provide instructions / FAQ on how to install multiple Drupal apps onto a single Bitnami Drupal stack...  However, they readily an instructional FAQ on how to add multiple Joomla Apps onto a single Bitnami Joomla stack...

Hi,

I understand that composer is apparently (and probably factually) better for site management. However, here's the thing. I have a shared host (on which I cannot run composer). On a dedicated I would, but I'm on a shared. So any composer command must be executed locally. Thus I now need to download the files and databases locally and install everything. Sometimes the update/install works perfect, sometimes I need to fiddle with the vendor and .lock files.

To update a simple website, I therefore must:

I'm a total noob on this I can't understand any answer i've found in here.

I just can't remember my site's domain and it cannot be found in the settings file.

What do I do? Did I deleted it by error? Should I reinstall drupal?

*UPDATE*

Already fix'd, thanks!

I just looked at the name of the database in phpmyadmin and properly used the localhost url.

Hi,

I had understood that it is not possible to use more than one distribution on a site. However, Drupal core has a minimal and standard distributions to which a contrib distribution can be added. I have also seen a contrib module called profile_switching which, suggests otherwise.

Is there anyway to harness the benefits of more than one distribution/profile to get the best of both worlds?

Hi,

I'm having issues setting up a multi language site that uses URL detection (domain) when switching language.

So what I want to build is one site with different languages

main (english) would be example.com but then switching language to germany I'd use example.de, french example.fr etc.

I've been able to set it correct it uses the domains, BUT if the user is logged in and switches language the session drops (user logout).

One could think this would be a common use case, but I've only found stuff related to subdomains etc. 

I’m starting work on a Drupal 8 site and I’m weighing different setup strategies, so I was wondering what people are finding to be their preferred method, especially when creating a new, custom theme. 

Reading various tutorials, help pages, and the Drupal website, I see that Compass is likely the way to go with initial install, but aside from that, there seem to be many strategies.
