I installed Abyss Web Server X1 (v 2.5) on my Vista desktop to use as a test server to see if Drupal will fit my needs over DNN. I installed the PHP pack with the server. However when trying to install drupal I ran into the following error

"
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings. (Currently using PHP register globals Enabled ('1'))
"
Whats a step by step guide on how to get drupal working? I'm new to Drupal, Abyss, and PHP so if you could make your replies simple and idiot proof.

Thanks
GKE

I got pass that by creating and php.ini file in the drupal directory and adding "register_globals = off"

But I'm suck at the next step. Database configuration.

Hope that helps.
