The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.It just took me a few minutes to figure out why I got the error "default.settings.php" should not be changed during installation.
I *moved* default.settings.php to settings.php that was my mistake. I think the error message could be nicer, I wondered what changes I had done to settings.php and it took me a while to get that the default file still has to be present.

k4v commented"in any way" was a bit misleading, as the installer does not check the files content.

gogowitsch commentedMy colleagues and I ran into this error multiple times for the same reason.
The patch looks fine to me. I tested it locally and the message is displayed correctly when using the HTTP-based installer.

ifrikThanks kv4 for this UX fix - and for taking the time to fix an issue that developers won't even notice because once you know how it works you don't see the error messages anymore.
