Hi,

This problem might be trivial but I for the live of me can't figure out what is wrong. I go through the installation phase and when I get to the database question I fill in all the forms correctly but when i press done nothing happens. The page reloads itself and ask for the same thing again, I did some error testing by entering the wrong password. It reacts on it and gives me and error, similar to if I'd input anything else incorrectly.

I've had this problem with 6.x for a while but never posted an ticket about this because I don't have any problems with installing 5.x but now I kinda feel robbed because I'd love to try 6.x just don't know how to get past this annoying problem :@.

I hope someone has time and wise answers for me.

thanks

/regards

Halif

10 - 1 you have in your sites/default folder ONLY a settings.php
which means you didn't follow the INSTALL.txt correctly.

INSTALL.txt says to COPY the default.settings.php AND rename it. I'll bet you just renamed it to settings.php and this is why your install won't install.

Drupal core needs both files
default.settings.php AND settings.php in the sites/default folder.

I'm marking this issue as fixed. If this isn't the issue reopen.

I can't seem to be able to change the settings to 666 using Filezilla on the settings file. Please help.

use your host panels file manager or the command prompt if you can't use filezilla.

If you need instruction on how to do it in filezilla.
right click the file
in the menu go to permissions
change as you see fit

more information can be found in the filezilla help documentation.
