I just installed WampServer, put a fresh Drupal install into the www folder, and I'm now trying to set up my Drupal website via localhost.

The problem I'm having is setting up and logging into the database. I created a database called "Drupal" via phpMyAdmin, however when I input the information the "Set up database" page on localhost just refreshes the form, when I put the information back in, I have the same problem.

I did the exact same thing with Joomla and I had no problems installing or using it.

Am I using the wrong information?

Here's a picture of the page:

Thank you.

I've set up Drupal before, I have it running on my website, however the website is very slow, and I'd like more flexibility. I'm trying to get it to run on my computer with the server that I've set up, through localhost.

Thank you.

In your sites/default folder, do you have two files: settings.php and default.settings.php?

Thank you einsteinsboi and Fiserfully, that fixed it.

I advise anyone else having the problem to do this!

Found it in another post on the forum, looks like it's because you just changed the name of the default.settings.php file. There needs to be both a settings.php and default.settings.php file. Don't know why this is, but when I changed this is worked perfectly.

I'm using Mamp on a mac and it worked the first time, but I screwed up when upgrading Drupal and now I get the same error as you when I got to reinstall.
