I am running drupal under a sub-directory on my Web Server (Apache 1.3.36; PHP 5.2.3; MySQL 4.1.19). I have uncommented the RewriteBase /drupal in .htaccess.

When I run the install script I get a "HTTP 404 - File not found".

I have put a test html document in the /drupal sub-directory and I can get that page to load. I just cannot get index.php to load.

Any suggestions?

Problem Solved.

Found it.

During the install, I somehow believed I should edit the ../sites/default/settings.php file to identify the name of MySQL database, username and password. In so doing, I tagged the settings.php file with a date & time stamp that led the install script to believe that it had already been run once.

I found this in the Troubleshooting FAQ's --> White Screen of Death, "WSOD on Multisite Installs" section.
