Hi, I'm very new to this, and after spending all day yesterday unable to upload joomla on my ftp, I spent all day and finally succeeded uploading everything (except the .htaccess file) onto my yahoo account.

Now that I've got the files uploaded, I'm supposed to be able to type in my domain name in the browser, and it will come up as my site name /install.php. The site does indeed come up in the address bar, but nothing loads on the page. Period. What do I do? I need to get this installed, and let me tell you, the folks at Yahoo know nothing about this type of thing. Thanks for your help!

Excuse my ignorance, but do Yahoo provide PHP and MySQL?
Drupal won't work at all without them.
And you'll need an .htaccess file - Drupal either doesn't work at all or doesn't work properly without it.

when I uploaded the .htaccess file along with everything else...I get this...

browser URL goes to:

file:///Users/MYUSER/Desktop/install-1.php

and this appears in the browser window
----------------------------------------------------------------------

st('Your web server does not appear to support any common database types. Check with your hosting provider to see if they offer any databases that Drupal supports.', array('@drupal-databases' => 'http://drupal.org/node/270#database')), ); } else { $form['basic_options'] = array( '#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => st('Basic options'), '#description' => '

'. st('To set up your @drupal database, enter the following information.', array('@drupal' => drupal_install_profile_name())) .'
', ); if (count($db_types) > 1) { $form['basic_options']['db_type'] = array( '#type' => 'radios', '#title' => st('Database type'), '#required' => TRUE, '#options' => $db_types, '#default_value' => ($db_type ? $db_type : current($db_types)), '#description' => st('The type of database your @drupal data will be stored in.', array('@drupal' => drupal_install_profile_name())), ); $db_path_description = st('The name of the database your @drupal data will be stored

Blah blah

The Hosting site is Myhosting.com

If Drupal can't be run on large hosting sites like Myhosting / Bluehost or other major providers..I can't use Drupal for my clients!!!!
