Im trying to install drupal 5.0 on IIS. I created a database for it in mysyl already. In the instructions it says

9. Modify the file C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\[YOURDIRNAME]\sites\default\settings.php by giving user name, password and database name.

how do I do this? and what exactly is meant by my directory name??

SOrry Im a noob and I dont have much web experience.. I love what I saw about drupal and Im trying to install it locally

Look for similar line in settings.php and change accordingly..

$db_url = 'mysql://db_username:db_password@localhost/db_name';

change this line with the mysql database info.
