Installing Drupal

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a custom Drupal profile and during the installation process, I’ve encountered an issue. When I reach the "database setup" step, MySQL is selected as the default database driver. I would prefer SQLite to be the default option instead.

Does anyone know how I can configure my custom Drupal profile to select SQLite by default during installation?

Any help or guidance on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Drupal CMS was released today, and I'd like to install it on a VPS.  Unfortunately, current docs assume the user is first installing on a local machine and then pushing changes up to a server.  That is not the case here.

Is there a one-page step-by-step guide for installing Drupal CMS on an Ubuntu VPS?

Hello everyone,

I'm Darshan Hiranandani, have a question about Drupal and its requirement for libapache2-mod-php. Can someone explain in simple terms why this PHP extension is needed for Drupal? I'm not a PHP programmer or sysadmin, so I’m looking for a straightforward, layman-friendly explanation of what this extension does that Drupal depends on.

I’d appreciate any simple insights or explanations!

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on prototyping a Drupal 10 site on my macOS localhost. I’ve already installed Apache and MySQL, and used Composer to set up the Drupal project with the following command:

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project ~/Sites/mysite

I also made an entry in /etc/hosts with:

127.0.0.1 mysite.local

Hello everyone,

I’m Darshan Hiranandani, new to Drupal and currently going through the Acquia Academy to set up Drupal locally. I’m following the steps provided, which mention using a site name to initialize the installation process. However, I’m not sure where to create or configure this site name.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Drupal and currently working through the Acquia Academy tutorials. I’m trying to install Drupal on my local system, and I’m following the instructions that mention using a site name to initialize the installation. However, I’m not sure where to create or configure the site name.

I attempted to use the site name referenced in the tutorial (waterfallhandbook.ddev.site/core/install.php), but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I also tried setting the site name manually in PowerShell, but it still didn’t work.
