How to connect Drupal with database?

@dewayne_green To connect Drupal with a database, you will first need to create a database on your server and configure Drupal to connect to it. Here are the steps you can follow:

• Open the settings.php file in the Drupal root directory. This file is used to store the database connection information for your Drupal website.
• Locate the $databases array in the settings.php file and add the following code to it:

1
2
3
4

6
7

$databases['default']['default'] = array (
 'database' => 'databasename',
 'username' => 'databaseuser',
 'password' => 'databasepassword',
 'host' => 'localhost',
 'port' => '3306',
 'driver' => 'mysql',
 'prefix' => '',
);

• Replace databasename, databaseuser, and databasepassword with the appropriate values for your database.
• Save the settings.php file and exit.
• Open your web browser and navigate to the Drupal website. Drupal will now be connected to the database you specified in the settings.php file.

To connect Drupal with a database, follow these steps:

1. Install Drupal: Download and install Drupal on your web server.
2. Create a database: Log in to your web hosting control panel, and create a new database. Note down the database name, username, and password.
3. Drupal settings.php file: Locate the "settings.php" file in the "sites/default" directory of your Drupal installation.
4. Edit settings.php file: Open the "settings.php" file in a text editor and search for the following lines:

1

$databases = array();

1. Modify settings.php file: Add the following code to set up the database connection:

$databases['default']['default'] = array(
  'database' => 'your_database_name',
  'username' => 'your_database_username',
  'password' => 'your_database_password',
  'prefix' => '',
  'host' => 'localhost',
  'port' => '3306',
  'namespace' => 'Drupal\Core\Database\Driver\mysql',
  'driver' => 'mysql',
);

Replace "your_database_name", "your_database_username", and "your_database_password" with your actual database details.

1. Save the settings.php file.
2. Install Drupal: Complete the Drupal installation process by visiting your Drupal site URL in a web browser.

Drupal will now connect to the database specified in the settings.php file, allowing you to store and retrieve data from the database.
