Installing Drupal

My system is Ubuntu 12.04, installing Drupal 7.
bellowing is the screenshot.

http://ompldr.org/vZGU0aA

I searched Google and duckduckgo, and drupal forums, not find solution,
And I do not have site/defalt/default.settings.php file.
So I copy settings.php to default.settings.php. Is this correct ?

when i want to install drupal 7.12 on my web host ... this error appears :
**
Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in C:\inetpub\vhosts\mysite.com\httpdocs\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 1621

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in C:\inetpub\vhosts\mysite.com\httpdocs\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 1621
**
anyone here can tell me whats the problem with my installation ... ?

I created mysql database with user name & password & uploaded the zip contents to my httpdocs root folder ...

Hello everyone,

I am having memory problems installing the openpublic distribution.

Due to it crashes in the middle of the installation process, I can not do anything afterwards.

I want to know how be able to repeat the installation process without start from 0 again (create a new host and database and upload the package)

Thank you in advance!

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post on the forums and I am currently seeking a solution to a mistake I've made somewhere along the way. I understand all advice is an act of good will so I'd like to thank everyone in advance for any help regarding this topic.

Problem:

Step 1: I installed drupal 7 on my localhost two days ago, I then uploaded omega theme framework and started getting a feel for it. I created my own subtheme and then made alterations to the administrator theme on the bottom of the appearance page (changed from bartik to seven i think). For some reason i got a parsing error the next time i tried loading the appearance page. the error referred to my page.tpl line 245.

In my newbie fear: Step 2: I deleted all evidence of drupal from my xampp folder. (in an attempt to gain a "fresh" start - two days later and at least 10 hours searching now I'm starting to think it wasn't such a quick fix). I completely removed Xampp in an effort to reset both programs and allow me to start over with drupal. Now when i try bringing up the installation window for drupal in my localhost i get this image to pop up instead of the installer.

Here This is the link to the picture, I tried uploading it every way possible.

Hi

I've been teaching myself the ropes on Drupal since November 2011, using Drupal 7 and the zen theme. I'm using a Debian platform.

I've done upgrades on the installation, and being new to it, I may have got things wrong as I started getting error messages showing up. I couldn't find anything in the documentation or bug reports that I could find, so I figured I must have made a mistake somewhere, saved what I needed to and purged Drupal off the system.
I then re-installed it without going through the database set up at install time figuring I could run install.php and reset the db access there. I'd like to know if that is a reasonable expectation, please.

On running http://localhost/drupal7/install.php I get this error:
Notice: Undefined index: distribution_name in drupal_install_profile_distribution_name() (line 196 of /usr/share/drupal7/includes/install.inc).

The rest of the installation profile selection form is displayed so it's not a complete show stopper.

I'm searching everywhere for info on how to upload a module to drupal. While there is info there I'm finding it completely useless for my situation.

I have no experience with Drupal and I'm trying to help a friend out. While I'm not pc illiterate I'm finding Drupal to be insanely user unfriendly.

I want to upload nodewords module so we can add meta descriptions and keywords, yes I know keywords are less relevant but she is insisting on them.
