Installing Drupal

Why is there no .htaccess file in the  8.6.10 .zip installation files? 
I installed from a cpanel script to get the D8 file and then all was good.

But where is it?

I am in the process of setting a website up in Drupal and I am using the Layout Builder. I was about to move ahead with it for the production site but my main concern is the fact that the I get the warning

"EXPERIMENTAL MODULES ENABLED Experimental modules found: Layout Builder. Experimental modules are provided for testing purposes only. Use at your own risk."

Hello guys!

I successfully installed my site in AWS EC2. I can see the interface. But the links are broken. Whenever I click any content or links in the website, it directs me to:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

404 Not Found

The requested URL /(directory)/(nodes) was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at (Server IP) Port 80

I have been away from Drupal installs for a while and need a reminder on what I use rather than localhost when installing.  The default host is localhost, but there is an Advanced tab.  What do I use in place of localhost?

Hi.

I am new to Drupal and I am using the standard Drupal 8 install built in to the Synology packages software, which installed to use php 7.0.

Having seen a report from within Drupal suggesting moving to php 7.2, I installed php 7.2, again using the standard Synology package installation. This seems to have completed without error.

However, Drupal is still happily using PHP 7.0 ... How do I inform Drupal that it should now be looking to the php 7.2 install?

Thanks.

Drupal Version: 8.6.4

I've been working with Drupal since about 2012. I'll label myself as a solid "intermediate". I am currently using the MAMP environment; each site I am working on in its own folder in HTDOCS. This has worked well for me, however as I have branched into using Composer, I am seeing things like Drupal VM, Docker, Docksal, etc.
