Probably yet another database problem thread, but I have just attempted to install Drupal 6.10 on one.com. All I have done is:

1) Uploaded drupal to /drupal
2) Edited .htaccess to remove the Option directives
3) Prepared settings.php
4) Attemped to use the web installer at mysite/drupal

When I try to configure the database nothing happens; I enter my credentials and db name according to info from one.com, hit save and continue and the script just throws me back to:

mysite/drupal/install.php?profile=default&locale=en

What am I missing?

I thought the .htaccess was generated by the install.php, try removing it and re-install

Check your sites/default folder. You need to have two files in there - default.settings.php and settings.php. Don't just rename the default.settings.php file, you actually need to copy the file and rename the copy to settings.php. This is the most common problem that causes the database step to fail.

There we go! Perfect. Thank you...

Maybe an error message that actually captures that problem could be implemented at a further date? I´m simply to lazy to RTFM...
