Installing Drupal

Hi all,

My hosting provider doesn't provide access the php command on the shell. PHP 7.3 is there for Apache, but not for me to run on the commandline.

All the guide refer to either Composer, which is not available and can't be installed, or the php commandline such as php core/scripts/drupal quick-start standard

Can I still install Drupal? or am I stuck? I've tried copying the files and running the interactive installer, but that just gets me code 500 errors.

I have made other sites Drupal 9 with .htaccess at the root of the files folder. And it works fine.

Yesterday, Installing a new site from my local server to production server, I'd all images of the new site not showing. I have changed as usual chown and chmod, and it didn't work. After hours I have delete the .htaccess file at the root of the files folder and it worked fine. But I not sure it's a good solution for security. Can somebody explain me why the same .htaccess file is no problem on other sites and on this one it prevents images from showing s..

Tank you

I installed Dupal 9 on my own computer to develop my site. I must now migrate the site to the production server I can only access with FTP. I thus try to do it manually. I followed this procedure:

Short version. I messed up Drupal (500 error). I am trying to reinstall but keep getting an error that it is already installed. I have deleted the public files and the database. What did I miss?

I am starting over with composer skills learned recently on development system.

Previously I had a working sub-directory from legacy install and wanted to begin over with composer recommended setup.

First I deleted the Drupal 9 installation.
 

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project /var/www/html/drupal

then I did a copy of the settings configuration.

I just recently installed Druple on a2hosting site. I install a couple modules which came back requiring addional modules. I download them from Drupal.org (many) Seemed each module need 5 more to work. 

Once done I clicked on of each to enable and chicked install. I got an error "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."
