Installing Drupal

My first Drupal (version 4.7.0) page has shown up. But when I "Create new password", I got access forbidden page:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /drupal470beta/ on this server.

I am very sure I did not add any trailing slash or space:
$base_url = 'http://hostname.domainname.com/drupal470beta';

Did I miss some something somewhere ???

I have installed the MySQL db and copied the drupal folder to IIS virtual directory, checked the Uname and Pass for my SQL via SQYog and they are working. PHP installation on IIS is also working. The virtual directory i created i tested is working.

i substituted necessary info --> $db_url = 'mysql://agent:myPassword@localhost/drupal';

when i typed : http://localhost/drupal still gave me the following error:

Good Evening,

Just installed drupal 4.7 beta on a test site (well I haven't installed it yet), because I got the error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/benofsky/public_html/site/sites/default/settings.php on line 115

when I access it at site.benofskypark.com. There is no trailing slash in base_url, mysql is correct, and all the tables are loaded.

What are the .install files that are now appearing in some of the CVS modules?

Or, more clearly, as they are clearly for installing the module's database tables how do we use them?

Is there an 'installer' that I've missed somewhere?

Hi

this is my fault - too clever for my own good

I placed the quotes.module in the modules directory. looked for a quotes setting and didn't notice that it was outside the admin/settings list.

I created content quote node and got error that database table didn't exist. Installed tables from my own version of drupal cause I couldn't see how they got there. I thought I must have mistakenly deleted them from the db ---- then!!!! I found the dang quotes "install" function. Clicked install but tables already exist. At one time the quotes block was available, now not
