I'm working with Jaunty. So I figured out and installed drupal6 as below:
sudo apt-get install drupal6

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

In my browser I typed:
http://localhost/drupal6/install.php and got the warning.
How Do I fix this?

I did see my install.php file in /usr/share/drupal6/install.php.

Any help!

The URL should be:
http://localhost/drupal6

I tried but I got the screen Site off-line.

The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.

If you are the maintainer of this site, please check your database settings in the settings.php file and ensure that your hosting provider's database server is running. For more help, see the handbook, or contact your hosting provider.

The error was: The database type '' is unsupported. Please use either 'mysql' or 'mysqli' for MySQL, or 'pgsql' for PostgreSQL databases..

How do I fix this?

I have a phpmyadmin set up with username and password while installing LAMP.

down load the settings.php file and check it to see if something is not right for the database and load it back on the server.
Might have to re-set the permission if you edit it while on the server.

hey, was just thinking.. I never have done an install that way.. did you create a settings.php file?
inside sites/default is default.settings.php
make a copy of that file, rename it to settings.php and put it in the same directory with default.settings.php

You know what, I was a bit surprised to see "settings.php" rather than "default.settings.php" in /usr/share/sites/default.

Maybe I should make a copy of "settings.php" and rename it as "default.settings.php"
