Installing Drupal

I recently had to set up a multi-site instance of Drupal from scratch; and now, I have to do so again. I recall it being fairly painful, due to somewhat scattered and/or out-of-date documentation. Therefore I have decided to document my procedures in excruciating detail, for my own future use and (hopefully) to help out others.

Can someone recommend a way to install a local copy of Drupal 8 without using Vagrant? It doesn't seem to be compatible with my set up.

Should I use VMWare Player? And if so, should I get VMWare Workspace, Workspace ONE, Horizon, Mirage, Fusion? Also, should I then get the Bitnami Drupal Stack, or the Drubuntu VMWare Image?

I've just got a Windows 10 laptop and I just want to install Drupal locally to test an update to an existing website without damaging the live site.

Since Drupal do not support unix socket string , we need to use hostname in settings.php. There is not mention in Google offical documents. First time using Google App Engine, it took me days to find the solution：

• After entering all the settings inside app.yaml, you need to use cloudsql as host, not localhost.

Hope this help others to install Drupal on Google Cloud.

my settings.php :

Hi,

I've followed the instructions on the Drupal page 'Using Composer to Install Drupal and Manage Dependencies'

I run composer create-project drupal/recommended-project public_html but then everything gets put in a web directory.

I can't then navigate in my browser to my site's url and start the setup.

Please let me know if I'm doing something obvious wrong!

Thanks!

We have recently switched from managing drupal manually to composer. We are not yet ready to update to Drupal 8 so I have no clue if that might fix the problem. Also I did not quite know where to report this as issue because i did not find a project concerned with this translation.

So here a concrete example of the Issue:

The juicebox module requirements are:

Installed Drupal 8.8.4 on Google Cloud through Kubernetes engine. What further steps do I need to take?

I need to upload some files to this fresh Drupal installation. I need to modify some files such as settings.php. However I am unable to reach the installed files of Drupal.

I have made my some websites through cpanel that was easy. Now I am facing some difficulties, but I am a keen to find out. I am not a techie.
