I tried everything but i can't get past the set up database step of the installation.
I use phpmyadmin to add a database called test.
a user is automatically inthere.. root... he has got all the rights and no password.
I will in test a database name
and root as username but when i press save and continue i come back again at the page data base configurations.
Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?

exact same problem
I am having this same problem, although I have successfully set up Drupal before on localboxes, I am trying to set up Drupal on a hosted box via CrystalTech and am not making it past the database page. I tried changing hostnames and stuff and get errors, but if I put in all the correct information as I understand it should be then I just get sent back to a blank database install page. ??
I am trying to install on a database that was already setup on the server by the web site controller, so completely possible this is a problem on my end, but I wish I could get some error reporting instead of just returned to a blank database screen.
Looks like
the problem may be because the user I am connecting to the database with doesn't have permission to install a new database, is there a way I can manually create the tables in an already installed database?
Try this solution
1. Create a new copy of default.settings.php and rename it to
settings.php So you should have 2 files
default.settings.php
settings.php
in http://localhost/drupal63/sites/default/
2. Install again. You should be ok.

I did the renaming in the
I did the renaming in the beginning already, but it doesn't work.
I tried what you said and now i have to files just like you said.
But still installation is stuck at " Set up connection "
I enter my db name and db username press continue and i get the same screen again.

Same Problem
I have the same problem - did you find a solution?
I too could not get past this point
The only question I have is it states mysqli - in my drupal 5.x installs I choose between mysql and mysqli - here we are only given one choice?
I have since gave up on installing 6.x and have gone back to my 5.x installs due to project time constraints.
I too could not get past this point
sry dbl post - no idea how that happened
(linux) use "cp", not "mv"
This worked for me, thanks.
had this problem myself,
had this problem myself, make sure you leave a copy of default.settings.php in sites/default/
Jesus.. thank god a found this page..
Such a simple solution. Thanks for your help!
Stuck on the DB Page
Thanxs alot,
I was thinking it was the problem with Myphp admin, I upgraded, I deleted the all the databases thanks keeping the default.settings.php and settings.php worked!
Great!
Problem Solved
I had this exact same problem. The solution is mentioned below but people seem to have missed it:
The sites/default/default.settings.php file must be COPIED and the duplicate renamed to settings.php so that the directory contains 2 files:
sites/default/default.settings.php
AND
sites/default/settings.php
With this in place I re-entered the details for DB setup and the install procedure finally continued to copy files and present the config page.
Happy days :)
This really works :)
Problem solved !
Fix
open settings.php and replace
mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename on line 92 to
mysql://yourusername:yourpassword@localhost/yourdatabasename
then enter some random values into the drupal installation and press next..
