While i installed drupal 7 i encounterd the follwing error;: 

./sites/default/default.settings.php file to 
./sites/default/settings.php.

then i changed from this one here: ./sites/default/default.settings.php
and altered it to this one; /home/vhost/WWW/schulcenter.net/sites/default/settings.php

but the system did not like this – why =!? I do not know – i finall got the following



Default settings fileThe default settings file does not exist.The Drupal installer requires that th<strong>e ./sites/default/default.settings.php</strong> file not be modified in any way from the original download.

OK Settings fileThe ./sites/default/settings.php file exists.
OK Settings fileThe settings file is writable.

Okay – well i have some troubles in udnerstanding all the warnings … but should i

have the following in one (and only folder )

in the default-folder drinne the both files 

/sites/default/settings.php 
/sites/default/default.settings.php

Really – well do they want me to have the above mentioned stuff in the folder !?

Well – you see this makes my wondering a bit – but any way i do it – if i have to. I can craeate all the necessary stuff...

love to hear from you

Not sure if this is a question? Just follow the instructions. i.e. make a copy of default-settings.php called settings.php. Make it writable etc. I did not know that default.settings.php had to be present, but following the instructions takes a few seconds, so it never occurred to try some alternative method, as you have, which is what has caused problems.
