Hello drupal_pj --

What is the problem that you are having with the database setup? Could you post up an error message, or a description of the problem you are having?

Hi I think I may have the same problem. I have got to step 3 of the installation, put in the database name with 'root' as the user name and no password then when I click on save and continue nothing happens. There are no error messages the page just refreshes and does not move on to the next step.

This is probably me being a bit daft but any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Just go to /sites/default/settings.php
In that change $db_url manually, things will work out.

Thanks,

I have had this problem if I just rename the default.settings.php file to settings.php. Instead, you need to copy it first and then rename the copied file, keeping the two files in the sites/default directory (one php file named 'default.settings' and one php file named 'settings'). The default.settings.php file is needed in the installation process because "The installer uses this file as a template to create your settings file using the details you provide through the install process." After install, you don't need the default.settings.php file and can delete it.
