I am using CentOS 7. I have installed MariaDB 5.5 and Apache 2.4.6. I tried to install Drupal 8.0.5. It seems like it was installed correctly. I followed some directions on DigitalOcean's website. The problem is that the web-based Drupal page is not there. I open a web browser and type in the IP address of the CentOS server. I see "Testing 123." This is the generic Apache page. The Apache service is up and running. I reinstalled Drupal. I get the same problem. What did I do wrong?
According to the documentation I must create a settings.php file and add some stuff to the end. But whenever I create my own settings.php file, installation fails with:
The specified database connection is not defined: default
I first started with the 8.0.5.zip but there is no install.php
so I reverted back to 7.4.3 installed that version no problem copied the relative files over from 8.0.5 cp -fr drupal-8.0.5/* .
now i see an update.php
but I get this error
I recently had to delete and reupload my drupal 8 site and now it does not appear to work despite the fact that I downloaded a full backup of the site then reuploaded every file exactly the way it was. This message now appear when I visit the site:
