Installing Drupal

So I'm trying to build a site using D8 and I have No input file specified. as the output.

Should the conf be different from that of D7 ? Because I have a D7 setup already on the server without issue or could this be down to a bug ?

was a nginx config vs root folder issue.

Hello
I've a win 7 64bits, with Viirtual Box, Vagrant, and I'm trying to launch the drupal8.dev box from github.
After my 'vagrant up' the prompt say :

Hello,

I am new to Drupal and I have the following problem while changing my server:

After transferring all my files via ftp and updating the sql-database, index.php reads as follows:

<?php

/**
* @file
* The PHP page that serves all page requests on a Drupal installation.
*
* The routines here dispatch control to the appropriate handler, which then
* prints the appropriate page.
*
* All Drupal code is released under the GNU General Public License.
* See COPYRIGHT.txt and LICENSE.txt.

when i try to install Drupal 7.38 on my localhost (my computer) it gets to the last part and i get this error
what does it mean and how do i fix it Thanks Mick

I'm close to tears now since I don't seem to find a solution. I'm actually working with the Acquia Dev Desktop 2 (I have to do this for a school assignment), I already installed and removed it like 7 times (also on once on a completely new and empty computer).

I have 2 major problems:

Server: Windows 2008R2
PHP: 5.6.1
IIS: 7.5
SQL: MSSQL 2012 SP1 Hosted on LAN SAN (Not on the same machine)

I am receiving the following messages in step 4 of a Drupal 7.38 installation.

1. WARNING: To install this version of the MS SQL Server driver make sure you have this patch in core: https://www.drupal.org/node/2376239.
-I did apply this hotfix but the message remains.
