Installing Drupal

So, I paid a hosting company a fat chunk of money for service to host unlimited domains and get large bandwidth and storage, and the sales website said that SSH access was available. After purchase and after setting up various sub domains for Drupal development and testing, I got around to setting up SSH, for which there appeared to be tools, which I used. After setup, when login didn't work, I submitted a problem ticket and got the following response:

Is it ok to ask a pre-drupal install question here? I tried on the xampp forums and would like to try somewhere else. If this is not an appropriate venue let me know and I'll delete the post or something of that order.

I have xampp installed on windows 10 and can browse to the xampp intro page at localhost and http://machinename

I created a dir at C:\xampp\apps\d75_01htdocs and gave it an index.html. This is where I will eventually install a testbed drupal 7.5.

The httpd-hosts.conf file has this content

I got this error after installing drupal. The install process went well. But now I want to login as admin and I get this error: [an error occurred while processing this directive]

When I click on login: I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /user/login was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Some ideas? May I have problems with "clean urls?

I have a problem installing OPcache hope and I can give a recommendation is 7.0 drupal is MAMP php 8.1.10 and some possible solutions but there is hope and I can support thanks

This is the configuration that I have

[OPcache]
;zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/opcache.so"
opcache.memory_consumption=128
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000
opcache.revalidate_freq=60
opcache.fast_shutdown=1
opcache.enable_cli=1

Which directory is the best to use for installation on a shared linux server?

Some instructions say to create a "bin" directory (mkdir bin) and to install Composer in it?
That would be the [~/bin] directory, which apparently is the same as /home/username/bin ?

Some say in the /usr/local/bin folder - how does that relate to /home/username/bin ?

Some say in the public_html folder (is that the same as home/username/public_html ?)

Hi there!

When I installed the Drupal 8 on my Mac I run into some issue. So, I decided to help those who also had some of the problems what I met during the installation.

The whole process what I did (on Mac OS X - El Capitan):
