During an installation, I accidentally mv'd default.settings.php. On the third stage of the installer, the default.settings.php file was not found. The error was not handled as expected, though.
To reproduce:
- Remove or rename default.settings.php
- Run the installer, completing the first two pages normally.
Expected:
Garland-like installer page giving an error message in a red box.
Got:
A white screen with the following:
Warning: fopen(./sites/default/default.settings.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/mbutcher/Code/DrupalCore/6/drupal/includes/install.inc on line 188

ya pal!
same error with me
i just edited that /includes/install.inc file on line no 188
the edit is as follows
using text editer reach to line no 176 of install.inc
$default_settings = './sites/default/default.settings.php';
this will be written there
so just modify it to
$default_settings = './sites/default/settings.php';
and reload the installer
lemme know is it worked for u too...

Well, you are not supposed to delete *any* files which come with the Drupal distribution. If Drupal would check all files on whether they exist before loading them, that would be a pretty big performance headache. Drupal just needs to assume you do not delete random files (including default.settings.php). I admit this default settings file could more easily be deleted, so it might make sense to build in more comprehensive checking to look for problems there. That should be a Drupal 7 feature request though.

This is a duplicate of #312144: Install fails when default.settings.php is not present, even if this one was technically first.
