Installing Drupal

This is the first time I use Drupal so bare with me. After the installation has been complete, do I remove the install.php file from the server? I don't see any instruction to delete it after installation so I am curious if we should. The reason being is because if it is not being deleted, anybody can type your domain.com/install.php and the page would show up.

ok heres my situation..ive been asking irc all day for help with not many good responses...im having trouble setting up multi site drupal; instead of telling you where my problem is, im going to give you as much info as possible about my setup and what i did.....first though is the following http://pastebin.com/83rA2UgT these are 2 different tutorials that i found online and neither one is working for me...so if someone can point out which of these 2 is correct, would be a good starting point.

anyways...i set up drupal with LAMP on an ubuntu machine.....the default location for the drupal root is /var/www/drupal this works just fine for one drupal site; however, i've hit the point in the 'using drupal' pdf where i have to create new site to get more practice..in order to circumvent this, i decided to do multisite so i dont have to keep erasing previous sites.....

anywas i basically created a folder within /sites called 'foobar' i copied the default.settings.php into foobar and renamed it settings.php ... i edited the file and put my db info in, then i created a symbolic link like this "sudo ln -s /var/www/drupal /var/www/drupal/sites/foobar"

i then went into a web browser and navigated to 127.0.0.1/drupal/sites/foobar and all i get is an apache directory listing, u know, the "index of" listing....

Can I have DAMP installed on Dropbox as localhost? So I can access my local drupalsites from Dropbox on different computers? Especially if there is no connection to WIFI this would be great.

Well how do i let my authenticated users view the full list of groups?

I want that all my members can see the full list of groups and can see the groups profile.

Please help me out!

Everything looked fine when I installed Drupal 7.x on Windows XP with IIS 5.1 But when I tried to log in I get a 405 error. Sometimes it does login but then with upgrading a module I get the 405 error.

What is going on?

hi all
i have installed Drupal on my machine , which is running xp pro, iis 5.1 and Mysql 5.something.
all went well and I saw the initial test page. However, when I logged out I was unable to log back in, I received the following message:
