I am having an odd issue trying to install the latest version of Drupal. I run many Drupal instances on my hosted environment and nothing has changed in that regards. Here is the issue:

I'm on step 3 (set up database) of the install, and every time I enter the database information, I hit continue and its like the page just reloads/refreshes. It clears out the fields and stays on the same page. No error or messages of any kind. I've don't know what is causing this issue and have already ruled out anything permissions related with the settings file.

Help would be GREATLY appreciated -- thank you!

The common problem with this seems to be that users who experience this issue changed the name of default.settings.php to settings.php when in fact, users need to make a copy of default.settings.php and change the name to settings.php

Thus in sites/default you MUST have 2 files. default.settings.php and settings.php

Please check your sites/default folder and ensure that you have both files

Thank you very much -- I wasn't even paying attention to that and that was exactly the problem.
