Installing Drupal

hi, installed xampp, put drupal in htdoc folder, went to browser localhost/mydrupal, and getting error message

"8.2.12 Your PHP installation is too old. Drupal requires at least PHP 8.3.0. It is recommended to upgrade to PHP version 8.3.0 or higher for the best ongoing support. See PHP's version support documentation and the Drupal PHP requirements page for more information."

Since I prefer to work in a local development environment before pushing everything to the shared hosting environment - where public_html is mandatory the docroot and not the /web-folder - I managed to install the legacy-project (which offers a flat structure without the /web-folder) in Drupal 11 locally and also to get it working after pushing it to live.

All workarounds to get the /web-folderstructure of the recommended project working in drupal 10 or 11 were - to say the least - troublesome. That's why I opted for the legacy project.

I just installed Drupal 11 on Hostmonster. The status report shows an error "The database server version 5.7.23-23 is less than the minimum required version 8.0"

Will Drupal function under that version?

If not, should I reinstall a lower Drupal version? Even Drupal 10 requires 5.7.8. Will that work?

Or do I have to find a new host? I've happily used Hostmonster for a very long time.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to migrate my Drupal site to a new server running the latest version of Ubuntu with a LAMP stack. I’ve imported all the files from my old server to the new one, but I keep running into errors whenever I try to connect everything together.

So far, I’ve:

I'm using MAMP on my Mac. I installed Drupal 11. 

When I click on My Website, I see what looks like the default home page, with no theme at all. 

When I click on any link, I get "requested URL not found on this server". For example, when I click on CONFIGURATION, I get that error. The URL in the URL bar shows "http://localhost:8888/admin/config", so I think clean URLs is enabled. 

Hello,

I’m setting up Drupal on a shared hosting server, but I keep getting this error during the database setup step:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'drupal'@'localhost'

I’ve double-checked my database name, user, and password in settings.php, and they all seem correct. Could this be a permissions issue, or is there something else I should check?
