"...have tried to make changes in the settings.php file with different combinations still the site is not opening! .."

u changed the settings.php before u encountered site trouble? or after?

basically, u do not need and are not recommended to manually modify the settings.php.

my 2 cents...

0 : contact the host's IT, make sure u have a db user account and psw

1. remove all the files
2. clean the db

3. re-upload drupal
4. create a new db

5. install druapl

stop and ask if u encounter any error.
Dont modify the settings.php unless u know what u are doing.

Thank you so much!

Actually I have my home pc as the developer machine and I am using it to install to the site.

So the drupal in the website is not fresh install.

Please tell me whether i can install it with a blank db and later fill db with data?

Regards,

Ali

1) go to cpanel window

2) go to mysql database wizard

3) Create new database and add user to it (remember the username and password and use the same in settings.php file)

4) Now go to phpmyadim. Open the database that you created. Import the sql file from you local Pc. Make sure the importing is done properly.

5) Now dump your all drupal file into public_html (don't forget to change the database name and password in settings.php file)

6) And BOOM...you will have big smile on your face :)

The drupal is up and running!

However now ther is the issue of clean urls!

yourwebsite/admin/settings/clean-urls

Since you don't have clean url you might have to add ?q in the url. or simply go to admin then settings then cleanurl.

Here you will enabled them.

Let me know if that works
