When installing Drupal 8 manually you can have some general errors in the installation process after the files have been loaded. One of the general errors can be returned due to the magic_quotes setting on the server. If this setting is not correct, an error will be returned as follows:
PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' and 'magic_quotes_runtime' settings are not supported and must be disabled.
What does this error mean?
You do not have to worry, this returned error refers to some magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime settings that need to be set to Off to run the Drupal 8 installation process.
How to set Off the magic_quotes settings in php.ini
- Log in to cPanel
- From the Software section -> click Select PHP Version
- Click Switch to PHP Options
- Click on the magic_quotes_gpc option and set it Off then click on then click Apply
- Click the magic_quotes_runtime option and set it Off then click Apply
