Run the install script

The install script will set the base URL, connect Drupal to the database, and create tables in the database.

To run the install script point your browser to the base URL of your website (i.e. http://www.example.com). You will be presented with the "Database Configuration" page.

on success, you will see the Drupal installation complete screen. If there are any error message, review and correct them now.

The install script will attempt to write-protect the settings.php after updating it with the information you provide in the installation routine. If you make manual changes to that file later, be sure to protect it again after making your modifications. Failure to remove write permissions to that file is a security risk. The default location for the settings.php file is at sites/default/settings.php. If you are using a multi-site configuration, it may be in another location.
