Installing Drupal

[mdumka]

Hello ... I am trying to install drupal on a windows box ... but getting this error

 

The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process.

 

1. Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php.

2. Change file permissions so that it is writable by the web server. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, please consult the on-line handbook.

 

More details about installing Drupal are available in INSTALL.txt.

 

How do I change the file permissions?

 

Thanks

Right click on file

Select properties.

In the pop-up ensure that the “Read-only” check box is un-checked.

If checked un-check it and click Apply

 

All the best

F:\UniServer\www\drupal\sites\default\default.settings.php is not checked read only ... still getting the same error.

From original post:

1. Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php.

Your last post:

F:\UniServer\www\drupal\sites\default\default.settings.php

 

After you have copied the file default.settings.php you need to rename it settings.php

F:\UniServer\www\drupal\sites\default\settings.php

 

All the best
