I am installing Drupal on my college server . www.svnit.ac.in. I have created the proper database and user for it. On the very first page it asks me the username,password and stuff which I enter. The database server is 'localhost', which I do not change. Now on clicking submit I get nothing. Then if I try to open index.php, the page is blank. If I open install.php, it says that drupal is already installed and asks me to delete the database or edit settings.php etc.

I have checked on mysql that the database tables do get created.

I dont understand the problems...Never seen anything like this..Pls help

the php version on the server is 4.3.9

In your .htaccess file in your Drupal directory add following line..
php_value memory_limit="96M"

If this doesn't help, go to phpmyadmin and locate the users table and check the row for your admin user and make sure one exists.
