Installing Drupal

A few days ago a website I run was shut down because the host said it may be sending spam emails out.

The host suggested that I download all the files from FTP, delete them from the server and then put up a holding page for now, which is what I have done.

I now need to get the site live again, having all the files on my desktop. As far as I know the MySQL database is still intact on the host.

How do I do this?

Thanks

I'm learning Drupal 8, and wanted to install Drupal 8 on my Ubuntu 15.10
desktop inside an isolated LXC container. It's easy, but maybe not as easy as
it should be, so I wrote a little script demonstrating how to do it. It's at

https://github.com/dankegel/d8demo

The core idea is just using composer to download and drush to 'install',
but there were a few gotchas along the way. I hope the script is useful for others.

Hey,

I tried installing Drupal 8 the other night and couldn't get to the browser installation screen. I worked with my hosting company, an amazingly talented and helpful bunch, and they determined that it was a problem with Zend Guard Loader, which was creating a segmentation fault.

CSS is not displaying after going through a clean drupal 8.0.1 install.

The error in chrome is: "Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/html: "http://10.1.1.130/drupal/user/1"."

The server is Win 2012, IIS 8.5 with php 5.6.

When selecting the "Default download method" to "Private local files served by Drupal" my images won't work anymore.

Using the public method the "imagecached" image on admin/config/media/image-styles/edit/thumbnail shows as expected, but when switched to 'private' this image won't show - The URL of the image gets in a redirect-loop to itself.

The configuration of the Nginx virtual host can be found on https://gist.github.com/antichaos/a40d13b43e25b695b2b0

I use NGINX as a web server - both as a front-end SSL terminator and as a backend to a Varnish v4 cache.

Now that Drupal8's here I'm trying to install it on that stack.

Is there any official/complete documentation on how to configure Drupal8 properly for use with Varnish v4?

I'm specifically looking for deployment docs that DO NOT assume/use the 'Varnish' module. I.e., I want a config that works with out-of-the-box Drupal8, with no additional modules installed or required.

Is that even possible with Drupal8? And if so where are complete docs?
