Installing Drupal

I have switched from Sublime Text to VSCode. I found this:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/development-tools/configuring-visual-studio-code

and have configured VSCode as it instructs. 

My question, for others who are using VSCode with Drupal; is there an extension to give you the MySQL and PHP servers in VSCode, like LiveServer does with the web server, or do you use something like MAMP to provide those?

Trying to install Drupal 7 through GUI and experiencing the following error.

Background:
-Permissions have been confirmed: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupaldb.* to 'drupalusr'@'%' identified by 'password'; was run and an alternative test user and database was created and granted permissions as well.  
- The database is hosted on a different server -- connecting through router.

I am Using wampstack-7.3.11-0 and trying to install "drupal bitnami-drupal-8.6.7-0-module-windows-installer" In last it shows error => "Problem Running post-install step. Installation may not completely correctly Error Getting Url http://localhost:81/drupal/cor/install.php?profile=standard&languagecode..." . after that I clicked finish and automatically redirected to admin page asking for user name and password.

I cannot finish installing drupal-8. I have tried to delete the whole drupal folder and started again but i am facing the same problem. Please help solve that

I'm trying to install Drupal 8 on my web server and as I'm going through the install process, I ran into the following error within the Requirements portion of the install saying that PHP Extensions need to be enabled for dom, SimpleXML, xml.

Not really sure how to go about enabling this, any insight or direction would be appreciated. (If it helps, the web server is running Apache/2.4.29 and the version of PHP is 7.2.24)

Error:

Hi,

New to Drupal but need to test a few things locally with Docker. We have a existing site with Drupal 7 so therefore I am using the older version.

I have an existing reverse proxy (jwilder/nginx-proxy:alpine) with let's encrypt companion (jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion) where I host many other sites without any issues.
