[support] Getting Drupal6 running on Debian LAMP system

[Gary Roach]

Reply to Maurice:
     localhost/index.php -> XAMPP Welcome Page
     localhost/drupal/index.php -> Drupal Setup Page (same as with 
localhost/drupal)

     phpmyadmin shows that the drupal database exists and has "All, 
Grant" privileges. MySQL is the same. The database engine should be wide 
open. *No tables were created by drupal setup.* This seems to conform to 
the requirements of the references.
