Install Drupal 5.x

Drupal has an automated installation script that automatically populates database tables and sets the correct settings in settings.php file.

While we recognize that there are a number of graphical tools to do some of these operations we cannot account and document the entire range of possibilities. With that in mind, this manual shall cover the basic methods. Some things such as downloading and moving your files to your hosts directories and the specific mouse clicks for setting up your database through graphical interfaces are better covered with your hosts or tools documentation.
