Drupal 8 - Hosting, Performance and Drush
3 likes1,194 views
This document discusses various technical aspects of setting up and using Drupal 8, including the recommended stack of Debian 6, Percona MySQL, PHP 5.3, and Nginx. It covers new file system locations, updated .htaccess rules, improved Drush support including new configuration management commands, caching options like APC and Memcache, the introduction of NoSQL databases, requirements to stay on PHP 5.3 for compatibility, and notes that while Drupal 8 works, more performance improvements are still needed before it is ready for production use.
![.htaccess
# Uncomment the following two lines to only
# allow PHP files in the webroot and in "/core":
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/core/[^/]*.php$
# RewriteRule "^.+/.*.php$" - [F]
