I have been trying to install Drupel 6.14 for the last 5 hours and cannot get past 'Page not Found' when I go to the domain after uploading to my hosting company.
I have made a copy of default.settings.php and renamed it to settings.php and put the details of my SQL5 database in.
If I can actually get the install script to run, I pretty sure I can figure things out from there.
Regards
Martin

You dont have to write in
You dont have to write in details of database , username password manually . Just rename the file to settings.php and place in the location.
Drupal will do installation automatically and write the settings.php values
Try and see if it works for u
Ill give it a try but i'm
Ill give it a try but i'm sure in my many attempts I had already tried that..
I think it may be more fundemental than that!
If it makes any diifference it is a windows server on a hosting company and Drupal is sitting in the wwwroot folder. It is running the latest version of PHP and SQL5.
I have had no trouble running oscommerce, magento and prestashop, simplemachinesforums.

no luck with that
I tried renaming default.settings.php to seetings.php and still not working.
the site is www.punterslaw.com but I guess you wont be able to tell a lot as I am not even setting ino the install.

no index.php?
I can see that http://www.punterslaw.com/CHANGELOG.txt is there, so I guess files are in the correct place, BUT the server is not set up to serve index.php as the default document (see instructions for installing on IIS)
In fact, that file is actually missing?
http://www.punterslaw.com/index.php
I've seen it complain about index.php not being able to run it on misconfigured servers before, but I'm surprised you are getting a 404 for that.
Are you sure all the right files are there? if so, then you need to bug your ISP, because either PHP is not set up, or there's something odd with the execute permissions (such as they are on IIS)

I think you may have checked
I think you may have checked as I was deleting Drupal from the domain. I have uploaded it again (for the 20th time). It is all there now and I am still getting the same problem.
Prior to Drupal I had index.PHP from oscommerce as my home page.
And (cough) Joomla installs fine!
Got WSOD
I have similar problem and tried just about all the suggestions here in the forum but still can't get pass the "http error 404 -file or directory not found" to setup the database.
The settings.php was modied according to what I'ved entered in terms of database name, userid & password. As soon as I hit save, I'd get the WSOD. If I close the page and browse it again, I'd get the http error 404.
I'm installing drupal-6.10, iis6 on windows 2003. Got any suggestions?
