Installing Drupal

According to the instruction for installing Drupal on IIS7 ...

http://drupal.org/node/778960

.. the account IIS_IUSRS has to be given "write" access to the file settings.php in order to allow Drupal to set the database configuration settings. I have done this on Windows Server 2008 but the Drupal install still fails and remains on the database configuration screen. Has anyone else run into this?

I have installed drupal 6.9 and using jd purity them

My problem is the database table which is latin1 and i want to change it to utf8
What I have done was, i went to phpmyadmin and i have changed all my tables collections to utf8_gerneral_ci manually

CAN i install drupal on the main directory ? is it a good idea OR is it best to install it in a sub-directory

Thanks

Hello,
I've got a drupal database and I have exported the .sql file from phpMyAdmin.
I'm still getting used to Ubuntu and running the VPS, but I managed to get mysql installed and running.
I uploaded the .sql file to the server and placed it in my 'user' FTP folder.

I typed this command: mysql -u admin -p dbname < filename.sql
and I entered the password that I would normally use to access this database for the 'admin' user.

I get this message:
Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

you install it on a sub directory HOW can one access the the drupal site from the main directory ...that is from the www.mysite.com

Please give a clear answer...thanks!

Delete this, I fixed it.
