I am trying to install Drupal 5.3 This is my first installation.
Installing on shared hosting. Cpanel
Apache version 1.3.39 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.4
MySQL version 5.0.27-standard

I downloaded tar, unzipped. Uploaded Drupal folder to root directory via ftp.
I have created database in MYSQL.
Now what do I do?
When I go to URL, I get a page from webhost saying site is coming. I was expecting a page requesting database info. Is there a trick to trigger this?

Have I missed something?

What are you using as the URL? A dedicated URL you bought? Or the temporary URL provided by your hosting company?

Delete index.html from the root directory. :)

After re-reading your post, if you have uploaded the whole drupal folder (assuming name "drupal-5.3") and not its contents, you'll be able to access the installation wizard at http://example.com/drupal-5.3/ (and not http://example.com/).
