Issue Summary
users are stuck on the database page without any information to help them out.
Here's how to replicate.
- get a new copy of d7
- start the installer
- Drupal will tell you you need to copy default.settings.php
- copy it, but dont change its name.
- go back to drupal, enter in your database name and creds.
- On submit, drupal will refresh the database page, empty your fields, and tell you nothing.
If these steps don't work, try changing your settings.php file to settings.txt
Comments
#1
Can you clarify what it means to copy a file without changing its name? I'm not sure how to follow these steps.
#2
If you didn't copy default.settings.php to settings.php yet, the installer will tell you:
[X] SETTINGS FILE | The settings file does not exist.
The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation
process. Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default
/settings.php. More details about installing Drupal are available in INSTALL.txt.
I think that is clear enough.
