Well, one thing you can do

Well, one thing you can do is to provide as detailed as possible the steps you took to install, and the nature of the error messages you have received. With more information it will be possible to help you out.

Have you renamed

Have you renamed /sites/default/default.settings.php to settings.php? If you have then make a copy. You need to have both the following

/sites/default/default.settings.php
/sites/default/settings.php

otherwise you won't get past the database configuration

I think there might be a bug in Drupal 6.x install. rename your default.settings.php to settings.php.

Hi PhilK I had the same

Hi PhilK

I had the same problem as I'd renamed default.settings.php to setting.php. As soon as I created a copy and had both default.settings.php and settings.php everything worked.

From the install.xtx that comes with Drupal

For example, (from the installation directory) make a copy of the default.settings.php file with the command:

cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php
