When I enter the SQL database.... it pretty much just reloads the page.. idk what the problem is.. any ideas/help would be awesome.
It is the "Database configuration" page that reloads after I enter all the fields..

doesn't sound like you followed the install.txt properly.
copy default.settings.php to settings.php doesn't mean rename default.settings.php - settings.php
You need both files in the sites/default folder.

There will generally be an error message on that page indicating what the problem is. Sometimes it's a missing file, as suggested above, and sometimes it's incorrect MySQL credentials.
Do you see any message?

No error at all
I have just installed my Drupal my self and came across this same exact issue. I found my answer in the INSTALL.txt. See their installer script needs to update the settings.php file. and you need to allow it access plus it will need to create a files dir and have write access to it as well. I bet once you set the permissions accordingly you will have success.
Knows just enough to be dangerous.
