Description

I'm installing drupal on my website for the first time. First, it asks me to select language. Second, verify requirement. Third, set up database (This is where I get stucked).

I already created a database, I filled up all required database values (Database name, username and password) and click 'Save and continue'. It goes back to Set up database page with no errors or messages shown.

May I know where it went wrong?

I know it doesn't help, but for what it's worth, I'm having the exact same problem

Are you running your site locally or through another server? If locally what kind of server setup are you running (wamp, lamp...)? I just ask because I am running mine locally using EasyPHP so I was wondering if maybe the issue is with the EasyPHP as I've heard of people having issues with WAMP5 but not other versions of WAMP.

Make sure that both default.settings.php and settings.php exist in the \sites\default folder. I had the settings.php file there but not the other. They are the exact same file so I just copied the settings.php file and renamed it default.settings.php. Hope this helps
