The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process.
1. Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php.

However.., I CHMOD'ed the file to 777.
Then I set the parent folder to 777. I still get the same error. I stopped and re ran the install script.. Nuthing..

Any Ideas?
UPDATE: I deleted the file successfully.. Replaced it with an OEM copy.. Same install error..

There are a few things that can be happening, the most likely of which is a path issue as opposed to a permission problem. What web server are you running? If you are using Apache make sure mod_rewrite is enabled. Is your Drupal installed in the root of the web server directory or in a subdirectory? Depending on where you installed Drupal, you may want to play around with the "$base_url" option in the settings.php file to see if changing that helps any.
You also should make sure you have cookies enabled in your browser. I wasted more than an hour one time when installing Drupal before I realized I had cookies disabled. Duh..
Install Dir

You didn't say if you actually followed step 1. You should have both a default.settings.php file and a settings.php file.
WOW...
