Installing Drupal

I keep on getting "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 240 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\cod\includes\database.mysqli.inc on line 114" in my attempt to installing cod-6.x-1.0-beta2 can someone please help me?

The reason i got to this place is because T.Gellar in his book "Quick start Guide to Drupal 7" recommended installing WAMP.

Then...on his video's for Linda.com---he goes with DAMP ? ? ?

1. I have WAMP installed---should i delete it completely and install DAMP from the Drupal Site....seems like it would be faster??

2. What's the skinny...which is better?

3. Would i need to uninstall WAMP before installing DAMP?

thanks for in advance!

note:
i tried to test version 8

http://drupal.org/node/1567474

When i am installing drupal error message is coming

Fatal error: Call to undefined function install_goto() in /home/a1646650/public_html/drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 2337

What does it mean??

On the Multi-Sites documentation it says to do the following:

Overview of the Process

To create a new site using a shared Drupal code base you must complete the following steps:
1.Create a new database for the site.
2.Create a new subdirectory of the 'sites' directory with the name of your new site (see below for information on how to name the subdirectory).
3.Copy the file sites/default/default.settings.php into the subdirectory you created in the previous step. Rename the new file to settings.php.
4.Adjust the permissions of the new site directory, and grant write permissions on the configuration file
5.Make symbolic links if you are using a subdirectory such as example.com/subdir and not a subdomain such as subd.example.com (see the subdirectory multi-site section below for details).
6.In a Web browser, navigate to the URL of the new site and continue with the standard Drupal installation procedure.

Number 4 has me confused?!
When I create the Subdomain in CPANEL it creates a folder. I deleted that folder and instead created a symbolic link back to root. Am I supposed to put the installation files for Drupal in that folder?

Hello all, i am a drupal noob and am battling to move a site from a linux box to my local machine running mamp.

I do not have access to mysql on the server, simply a folder of all the drupal stuff. The folder from the server comes with this structure
FOLDER
-LOG
-WWW
(WWW contains DATABASE, FILES, IMAGES, INCLUDES, ETC)

I did a clean drupal install on my machine, and set up the database on mamp to match the database name and password i can see in the server folder. I then dropped all the standard install tables, and imported the server tables
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql --verbose --user=*** --password=*** drupaldbname < /folder/from/server/www/database/drupaldbname.sql

I moved everything from the WWW folder to my htdocs folder. i did the htaccess stuff as well.

Now when I open the version of the web address on my local machine, it works, amazingly, but for one thing. This is where I am stuck.

On the server the links along the top work like this. Let's say there is a link that says "about me". When I click that link, it will switch the drupal page to www.example.com/about

When I click the link on my local machine, it will try to open a page called http://localhost/example.com/node/3, and give me an error that the page does not exist.
