Help please, I'm getting the same error. I've re-downloaded the package etc. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, oddly enough when I was having problems I had simply renamed default.settings.php. So I went back and copied that file and renamed it so I had default.settings.php and settings.php and it worked. Huh...

That worked for me

That worked for me too.

Weird as seeing Drupal 6 asks you to rename the file first and then you had to resave it. I hadn't seen that before.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm confirming this same

I'm confirming this same behavior. Also find it odd ;-)

Not renaming but copy

pjvbeek commented 25 August 2008 at 23:49

Thanks for the answers. Drupal install instructs to copy default.setting.php to .settings.php. Well, that is correct but confusing.

Confirmed oddity

A note about this should be added to the installation documentation. Any one knows how to bring this to the documentation teams notice?

Do not rename default.settings.php

gost_gost commented 19 December 2008 at 09:39

Same problem same fix!

*Do NOT rename default.settings.php
copy it as settings.php

It appears you MUST have BOTH files present!

drupal 6.x install

Thanks to all that answered!

Resolved

I was in the middle of a class on how to install Drupal to 15 people when this error happened to me. I finally had to skip over the last step of setting up the site and get into configuration (with another site I had).

Would be nice if the instructions/docs were clearer or if there was a trap for this error. How to submit this as a bug?

Me too!

bcooper commented 23 September 2008 at 00:29
