After the set up of Drupal CMS I got the error message „Drupal already installed to start over, you must empty your existing database and copy default.settings.php over settings.php." I can't get to the login prompt again.
How do I empty the existing database in Drupal CMS?
Awhile back I had a content type for radio audio shows that had a field collection for Segments to describe sections of the radio show and I used computed field to get the titles from the referenced field collection to list a Segment Summary of the radio show segments.
If I understand the Drupal code, it has defined routing. So all the required paths are coded using these routing.yaml files. However if a request comes in with some junk path (example https://www.mysite.com/arbitrary/req), it still has to hit the index.php and hit the database (if I understand correctly). This creates a problem if some requester is calling my site with hundreds of request with this junk requirement, my database connections are all choked.
