To run Drupal, you will need the following infrastructure:
1. **Web Server**: Drupal runs on a server that supports PHP and MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite databases. Popular web servers like Apache, Nginx, or Microsoft IIS can be used to run Drupal.
2. **PHP**: Drupal is a PHP application, so you'll need an installed and configured PHP interpreter on your server. It's recommended to use a PHP version supported by the current version of Drupal.
3. **Database**: Drupal uses a database to store content, settings, and user data. You can choose between MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQLite as the database for Drupal.
4. **PHP and Web Server Configuration**: To run Drupal, you'll need to configure PHP and the web server to meet Drupal's requirements. This includes installing necessary PHP extensions and configuring the web server to handle requests to Drupal.
5. **File System Access**: Drupal stores files such as images, templates, and modules in the server's file system. Ensure that the web server has access to the Drupal file directory for reading and writing.
6. **Domain Name (Optional)**: You can configure a domain name for your Drupal site to provide access to it over the internet.
These are the basic elements of infrastructure needed to run Drupal. Depending on your needs and project requirements, additional configuration and setup may be required.
