Installing Drupal

Hello Forum.

I have used drupal in the past but I have since been off doing other things.  I need a refresher course if one exists on how to install drupal and then install a theme.  I have had a look around  the Installation Guide for more detailed information. 

I am trying to create a new Drupal 7 website from scratch on a Windows Server 2016 machine using PHP 7.4.29 and MySQL 5.6. (Other websites within my organization are on Drupal 7, so we want to stay at the same version.)

I have used the php.ini-development as my php.ini file without any modifications.

When I get to the Verify Requirements step of Drupal's install.php it gives me 2 errors and 1 warning:

I have mariadb 10.8.6, php 7.4.29, apache 2.4.53, drupal 9.3.16. I installed drupal using composer and went into mysql from the command line and created and set permissions for the database, go to the web based install and when I get to the database section it fails with permission denied. From the command line i log in with same user and password, change to the database and it allows me, not much I can do there for all the tables and such weren't created because of the permission denied error.

From the command line in mysql i enter the following:

Hi everybody,

I'm kind of stuck with installing drush on a remote server with ssh, inside a subdirectory.

I installed Drush with composer as required and tried to call drush via vendor/bin/drush and this is what i get:

Content-type: text/html

<br />
<b>Parse error</b>:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in <b>/homepages/9/d578960955/htdocs/projects/kueffner-dev/vendor/bin/drush</b> on line <b>13</b><br />

On my local machine it worked without any problems...

Hi

Have tried to install Drupal 9.2.21 but keep getting error along the lines of the following below on the install chose language page.  Any suggestions as what is going wrong? Haven't had this issue with previous installs of earlier versions

Hello,

I downloaded the drupal, extracted the archive and uploaded via ftp to the web host. But, after loading, it crashed.

How do I fix it, please?

Thank you
