Installing Drupal

FINALLY, I thought that Drupal CMS was going to be a great option for a person like me who knows nothing about coding etc.  However, alas I was not able to install  it on Ubuntu via DDEV. I even tried to install it on Windows. But it seems to be too difficult as well.  Drupal created a lot of hype around the concept that the starshot was for non-geeks. However based on my desperate experience i still believe that it is not yet for a person like me. 

At home I use OpenSUSE Leap 15.6, and I am not sure what my ISP uses. The composer script works, but the startup shell says it only works on Debian and Ubuntu.

Hello,

I warn you, i'm a total newbie, and even the drupal issue report system is too complicated for me. It's very likely that this report don't give enough information.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a custom Drupal profile and during the installation process, I’ve encountered an issue. When I reach the "database setup" step, MySQL is selected as the default database driver. I would prefer SQLite to be the default option instead.

Does anyone know how I can configure my custom Drupal profile to select SQLite by default during installation?

Any help or guidance on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Drupal CMS was released today, and I'd like to install it on a VPS.  Unfortunately, current docs assume the user is first installing on a local machine and then pushing changes up to a server.  That is not the case here.

Is there a one-page step-by-step guide for installing Drupal CMS on an Ubuntu VPS?

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!
