Installing Drupal

Hi,
I Have just installed my first Drupal site ever (version 8.2.1) following a manual procedure.
I'm on a shared server.
The problem is that themes are not recognised at all.
I have checked file permissions and they look OK.
Also, It seems strange that I cannot deactivate modules in the admin panel.
The site now looks like this.
Pls help me check what can be the reason.

Howdy, Members:

My current developer is requesting the following:

• shell access to d7live for css uploads
• drupal multisite installed inside d7live, using table prefixes
• phpmyadmin database access to d7live
• drupal admin access

QUESTION:
Does Drupal Multisite configuration require **root access** by developer to server to accomplish the above?

Thank you in advance for a prompt and detailed response.

Hello, forgive me for asking something silly. I seem to remember installing Drupal with some sample data or demo data which contained some content, menus etc. but cannot find anything at all like that.

I have no issues installing D7 or D8, but it then has nothing to show. I purchased a template and it needs to have the sample data before installing and cannot figure it out.

Any ideas or pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a website in drupal 6.28. The owner of the website doesn't want to upgrade it. I am changing its hosting to another server. I have tried several times but when i type database name and username, password and click the button it wont generate any error and just refresh the page. The database name, username and password are empty. I repeat the process but again it refresh the page and there is no error.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem and what can be the solution.

I installed acquia devdesktop. I can run drupal 7 and commerce kickstart without any problems but when I try to make a drupal 8 website, I get following error:
