Installing Drupal

Hello,

Is there any way to force drupal to import the config files from another site? I cannot use the configuration installer profile as seems that is not working with Open Social.

Thanks

So I might have totally missed something, but have tried searching for the answer to this some time now but have come up empty. So, when installing Drupal 8, setting language to Swedish, how do I actually get the right collation in the database? Doesn't matter if I create a database with the collation I want, when installing and adding nodes Drupal seems to create them with collation utf8mb4_general_ci and I can't seem to find a way to remedy this.

What have I missed? Any help with this would be awesome.

Hi,
I am new to Drupal (and building my own site). I have installed Drupal 8.2.5 at my hosting provider with Filezilla. When I access my site, you can't see any pictures (or colors) only text. In my previous installed version (which got lost because I forgot to back-up the database) my hosting provider commented out a few lines in .htaccess in the directory sites/default.
How can I do that myself? I tried downloading the file to my computer, altering it and try to upload, but I get an access denied error.
Thanks in advance,

Cheers Tom.

Hi,

I am a drupal 8 noob. It has been a long time since I have been here (since version 5/6 days). I am completely new to composer and have run into an issue I am sure is an easy one to get over, but for some reason.. I haven't had luck.

Let me say up front that installing the lightning distribution presents no issues if I go the Tarball route. 100% success.

So I've successfully managed to install Drupal 8 in a sub-directory. The problem is I haven't figured out how to correctly redirect /user to /sub-directory/user. Currently I get the following error:
Redirects to external URLs are not allowed by default, use \Drupal\Core\Routing\TrustedRedirectResponse for it.

There were several other topics that I found on this that recommended adjusting the trusted_host_patterns in settings.php, but I have already done that (prior to noticing the error).

Help me please. When you install drupal-8.2.5 such a mistake at step 'Install site'
