Installing Drupal

Hello everyone,

I'm Darshan Hiranandani, have a question about Drupal and its requirement for libapache2-mod-php. Can someone explain in simple terms why this PHP extension is needed for Drupal? I'm not a PHP programmer or sysadmin, so I’m looking for a straightforward, layman-friendly explanation of what this extension does that Drupal depends on.

I’d appreciate any simple insights or explanations!

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on prototyping a Drupal 10 site on my macOS localhost. I’ve already installed Apache and MySQL, and used Composer to set up the Drupal project with the following command:

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project ~/Sites/mysite

I also made an entry in /etc/hosts with:

127.0.0.1 mysite.local

Hello everyone,

I’m Darshan Hiranandani, new to Drupal and currently going through the Acquia Academy to set up Drupal locally. I’m following the steps provided, which mention using a site name to initialize the installation process. However, I’m not sure where to create or configure this site name.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Drupal and currently working through the Acquia Academy tutorials. I’m trying to install Drupal on my local system, and I’m following the instructions that mention using a site name to initialize the installation. However, I’m not sure where to create or configure the site name.

I attempted to use the site name referenced in the tutorial (waterfallhandbook.ddev.site/core/install.php), but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I also tried setting the site name manually in PowerShell, but it still didn’t work.

I recently completed a Drupal 10.2.5 installation on an Ubuntu Server 20.04 with a LEMP stack, but I’m facing an issue. The homepage of my site is not displaying properly, and when I checked the console, I found the following errors:

• Error 1
• Error 2

It appears that the CSS and JS folders were not created during the installation process. I’ve searched through the server files and confirmed that these folders are indeed missing.

Hi,

I have tried to install Drupal 11 following the installation docs, but it is not quite working.

What's not working

First, all JS and CSS assets are missing. According to the browser dev tools, they just 404. On the web server in the directory web/sites/default/files, there is just a config_* folder, but no js_* or css_* folder, which the drupal installation is trying to access.
