I'm recently started learning Drupal, which I have started on version 10, and when installing it, I didn't have much problem except for settings.php in which I was able to manage to fix the error. FYI, I'm using macOS Sonoma 14.6.1.
I am new to using Drupal but have had to jump in and get to know how to install and use it due to a client having Drupal installed on his site.
The client had the site, which ran Drupal 6.31, installed on a server in his office and had an issue with a former web developer who prevented the client from using the site from July 2024 onwards having hijacked the domain into his own name and locking the client out from accessing the site via both the browser and server.
A strange thing happened to me in a fresh installation of 10.3.5 on MAMP PRO.
I usually install Drupal directly in my language, Italian, but this time I chose English.
The installation started asking me directly for the site data, skipping the db part altogether...very strange, but I went ahead to see what was happening. Of course I only got the graphic part without any db connection.
To check, I deleted the host and did it all over again, this time choosing my language, and everything went smoothly.
