This is as far as I can get: http://www.cse247.com/dreamscape (database config).

I know all of my information and it still does not work. It comes up with the following error:

"Failure to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Access denied for user 'DesAutels'@'64.74.223.29' (using password: YES).
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
For more help, see the Installation and upgrading handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider."

It even pulls up the wrong numbers... It's not '64.74.223.29' - it's '64.74.223.52'

I have talked to my hosting provider and they are as confused as I am...

Can anyone help?

Look under "Advanced Options" to set the database host.

That is how I got the previous error.

This is my new error message:

"We were unable to lock a test table on your MySQL database server. We tried locking a table with the command LOCK TABLES drupal_install_test WRITE and MySQL reported the following error: Access denied for user 'desautels'@'64.74.223.0/255.255.255.0' to database 'desautels_db849'."

Please help...

From the system requirements:
http://drupal.org/requirements

From the troubleshooting FAQ:
http://drupal.org/node/17241

You host will know how to give you that. They might not want to though - in which case you'd need a different host to run Drupal.

Okay I read the requirements and switched servers (from windows to linux)

Here is my error message now:

"The Drupal installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process."

Please help...

By the way, the Support forums is a better place for this kind of posts. Use Installation problems if you have more problems during installation. (Let's hope not :-)
