You might want to revisit the install documentation.. but here are a couple of questions. What did you name your database? Did you update conf.php to use the right database and database login?

Try this first

First try a basic mysql connection from PHP

create a dbTest.php in the same directory as drupal
It should contain only this (from the php.net docs):

Change
"mysql_host", "mysql_user", "mysql_password"
and
"my_database"

&lt?php
//From the php.net docs
$link = mysql_connect("mysql_host", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")
        or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error());
    print "Connected successfully";
    mysql_select_db("my_database") or die("Could not select database");

    /* Performing SQL query */
    $query = "SELECT * FROM system";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error());

    /* Printing results in HTML */
    print "&lt;table&gt;\n";
    while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
        print "\t&lt;tr&gt;\n";
        foreach ($line as $col_value) {
            print "\t\t&lt;td&gt;$col_value&lt;/td&gt;\n";
        }
        print "\t&lt;/tr&gt;\n";
    }
    print "&lt;/table&gt;\n";

    /* Free resultset */
    mysql_free_result($result);

    /* Closing connection */
    mysql_close($link);
?&gt;

Hi,

Thanks for your replies. I run a phpBB board/portal @ http://www.halo-source.com/forum

So I know that I can connect to the mySQL database.

I will check to make sure my values in conf.php are correct.

This is what I got from dbtest.php:

Connected successfullymodules/admin.module admin module 1
modules/block.module block module 1
modules/comment.module comment module 1
modules/help.module help module 1
modules/node.module node module 1
modules/page.module page module 1
modules/story.module story module 1
modules/taxonomy.module taxonomy module 1
themes/marvin/marvin.theme marvin theme Internet explorer, Netscape, Opera 1
