Installing Drupal

There is a lot of information on using composer to install a drupal 8 website, using composer, for beginners and maybe even absolute beginners.

However, I am an absolute-absolute beginner and find myself running around in circles when trying to wrap my head around the basics to get started.

Some background:

I have been using drupal for a few sites since 2010, starting with D5 and am now on D7, for two sites for my business activities.

Hi,

This might be a silly question, but I try to get a D8 running on a shared host. Reading into it, I see that the best way seem to be

1. installing locally using composer
2. push to the production host

But would it not be that composer downloads the required libs based on the local environment|? If so, this environment might not be the exact same as the remote host. And the required libs are therefore different on the local and production side. Pushing the local to the production therefore might cause the website to break on the production.

HI 

I've copied cdn folder from Bootstrap and then I've renamed and edited all files  according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLxqM6djArM

I changed All Instance names 'THEMENAMES' to 'btrap3'

but I don't know why my subtheme does not appear on admin [Apearance] page!!

Before I had no problem to create a bootstrap subtheme.

I am Almost New!

what should I do ?

Hello Drupal pros.

I am actually trying to automate the installation of Drupal into Debian, and I thought my work would be useful to the community.

This is done using Ansible and Drush.

Once installed, Drupal is served by Apache, with mod_security, clean URLs and rpaf.

Everything is proxied through nginx.

AppArmor is deployed as well, with nginx and Apache in enforce mode.

The database is built automatically, with PostgreSQL.

I installed the site using EC2 AWS Ubuntu 14.04. This site have a live version. I am only uploading a duplicate version to experiment.

Now the problem is when I use the database from the live to my duplicate site, it results into HTTP ERROR 500.

But when I use the database from basic installation, it loads the default design of a typical drupal site.

Why is this happening? Is there an error from the server?
