need help installing drupal

Post by Obadiah »

does anyone here know anything about drupal, i fixed the problem i was having yesterday but now i get the screen where it asks for your database name, username and password and when i enter them it just repeats....it doesnt go any further, i looked to see if the install was connecting with the database by inputting the wrong information and it gave an "invalid authorization" as i feared...im truly stumped and beating my head on a wall with this one...any help at all would be appriciated :banghead:

fixed. the install will tell you to rename the file "default.settings" to settings. HOWEVER, doing this causes you to be stuck in an infinite loop known as the DROOPAL TWILIGHT ZONE where you will swear and almost loose your job for almost getting caught by your boss flipping off your screen! Simply make a copy of default.settings and paste it on your desktop, rename the file inside the folder "setings" then paste "default.settings" back into the folder. :drunk:
