I've downloaded Drupal 5.1 - that's as fas i've gotten. I just don't seem to get how to install this program. I've looked at the help files which don't tell me much except to point my browser to my website....

I'm using Yahoo Sitebuilder - and my site has not been published yet, I'm still building it. Can someone help me out with how I get Drupal installed. I've no idea about programming so if folks answer could you make it easy to understand.

I want to use Drupal as an add-on for my main site - i'm wanting to create a members - only area once it's installed.. can someone point me in the right direction for that sort thing as well

thanks all..

Take a look the Installation and configuration page.

These videos will also be of help to you.

What is the URL path for your Drupal installation?

Have you checked if your server meets the requirements for Drupal?

REQUIREMENTS
------------

Drupal requires a web server, PHP4 (4.3.3 or greater) or PHP5
(http://www.php.net/) and either MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) or PostgreSQL
(http://www.postgresql.org/). The Apache web server and MySQL database are
recommended; other web server and database combinations such as IIS and
PostgreSQL have been tested to a lesser extent. When using MySQL, version 4.1
or greater is recommended to assure you can safely transfer the database.

For more detailed information about Drupal requirements, see "Requirements"
(http://drupal.org/requirements) in the Drupal Handbook.

Guidelines for setting up a server environment with a variety of operating
systems and in special cases are available in the Drupal handbook
(http://drupal.org/node/260)
