ensure that in sites/default you have 2 files

settings.php AND default.settings.php

My guess is you just changed the name of default.settings.php to settings.php and that would be incorrect. you need both files.

Thank you for ur reply.. i am

i want to know more about node and module.
Also where should i found node.php

there is no node.php file.

there is a node.module in the core modules folder. However drupal is designed in such a way that you shouldn't need to hack at core to accomplish things. you simply use hooks.

If you have to hack core, what you may need to do is realize a generic method and try to get a patch into core.

the more you read api.drupal.org and the module developers guide the more you will learn. As I said spending time in IRC #drupal-support will also be of help.

Can I suggest spending a day

Can I suggest spending a day or two looking around the Drupal site, finding out what is where and how things operate. I have closed the issue you raised 5 minutes after you raised this one http://drupal.org/node/510272

Dont expect to learn it all in your first day, I have been at it over 2 years and don't know 0.1%
