Our ISPConfig server handles our websites nicely, however, if we refer to the server's IP address or full hostname in the browser, we do not get the expected result, because in this case the Apache2 Debian Default Page is loaded, which is essentially Apache's "welcome" page.

Drupal is a free CMS written in PHP, the latest major version of which is 9, released on June 2020, 3. From now on, Drupal 8.9 will only receive fix packs, and support for Drupal 8, from which this page was made, will end on November 2021, 2, so I need to upgrade this page to major version 9 by now at the latest. To get acquainted, I’m making a fresh Drupal 9 installation and looking around so I don’t have to rush at the last minute to see which module will be compatible with it, how much I need to vary the page, and so on. And if I’m already installing, I’ll make a little description of it as well to see if I can provide useful info to others. I have previously prepared a guide for installing Drupal 8, in this description we will install the current release of major version 9.
