Installing Drupal

Hi everyone

I consider to use Drupal for a new website. To learn how to install and manage Drupal, I prefer to install it on my computer first. But it didn't turn out to be as simple as i expected. I hope I can get helpful answers here.

I use Ubuntu Desktop (22.04.4), installed on a HP Probook 440.

In the command line, I updated the system , installed php, mysql, apache2. Downloaded Drupal 10.2.3.

In mysql, I Configured created user and a databases as recommended. Same for Apache2.

i have a old historic site chronicling rock climbs on Yosemite's el capitan  and running drupal 6.38. my client wants to stop paying for hosting and migrate it to a laptop running wamp

i have installed wamp on windows 11 and have successfully installed drupal 6.38 using mariadb

the live site uses mysql. when i create a mysql db and try to do a fresh install of 6.38 i get the notice "unknown database ...."

wamp is using the same version of php as the live site 5.6

Hello, I installed Drupal 10.2.3. To begin with I installed the demo of umami. I could have a look at that site, its content, and a few other things at that time. Today, a couple of days later, I am unable to access that site on localhost. I checked the addresses in the history. This was one of the addresses I seem to have visited on the day I installed the Umami website

http://localhost/drupal-10.2.3/en/admin/content

Trying install Drupal 10.2.2 on OpenBSD but get stuck with 500 Server Internal Error

was using composer and just downloaded tar.gz no luck

So get 10.1.8 and it run at least setup 

I originally thought this was an issue with the version of Drupal that Composer installs in DDEV, but it appears that even in the full core files download package there is no core/scripts/drupal folder with the theme starterkit install script. It's missing (screenshot).

Hello,

I am very new to Drupal and am going through the Aquia Academy. I am trying to install Drupal on my local environment. I am following the instructions that state to use your site name to initialize the installation. My question is where do you create the site name? I tried using the one that was used in the example but it is not working so I am a little bit confused. 

The URL that they gave was waterfallhandbook.ddev.site/core/install.php

I tried to use the site name I created in the PowerShell but it didn't work.
