I finally decided that my hangup problem was due to the old
installation of mysql that I couldn't seem to completely strip from the
system. I re-installed the operating system and did a desktop only
installation. I then used XAMPP to create the web site. I loaded up
Drupal and everything works fine. Tip: don't leave an old copy of
MySQL on your system. It can screw everything up.<br>

Thanks everyone.<br>

say, it didn't complain. Hence a strange error.

<div>I still guess it's due to the database rights. INSTALL.mysql.txt
says you need GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP,
INDEX, ALTER for your database drupal and your user. I avoid phpmysql
admin, so I don't know how exactly to do this best with this tool. I
don't know what "All, Grant" means exactly. Does it really mean grant
all rights? Are you sure you are looking in the right db? Maybe need to
flush privileges? Are you sure you are looking at the right db? From
what you said earlier it seems you called it "drupal".</div>

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

<li>What do you get if go to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

or <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://localhost/drupal/index.php"
target="_blank">http://localhost/drupal/index.php</a> in our browser?
(Assuming that you use standard port 80, local host and, possibly, as
the url you provide suggests, drupal as a subdirectory in server root.) </li>
<li>If you look at database thru phpmyadmin you should be able
to verify that database got populated with many tables. Right?</li>
<li>Did you set the necessary rights for database user and
database? I think they are listed in INSTALL.TXT, or on d.o: <a

target="_blank">http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/install/create-database</a></li>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">I took Neal Adairs advice
and used the tar.gz file. I also ripped out the old installation and
re-installed using XAMPP. Everything went smoothly with all of the
installation going into a new /opt directory. I used phpmyadmin to
create a "me" user and a "drupal" database. I then ran <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://localhost/drupal" target="_blank">http://localhost/drupal</a>.
Everything progressed in an orderly manner until I got to the "Setup
Database" item. I filled in the required data and punched "Save and
Continue." The browser flashed done, the blank form returned with no
error messages but drupal didn't go to "Install Site". I repeated this
a couple of times with the same results. Any suggestions.<br>

Thanks everyone for your support.<br>

<div>I am trying to get a Debian Linux, Apache2, MySQL,
PHP5 system going. All of the instructions that I find assume that I am
installing from a tar file or some such. Debian installs everything,
including the config files, automatically. The Dbian installation
differs significantly from the documentation. I finally got Apache2,
MySQL and /drupal6/install.php running but immediately got the
install.php error shown below.<br>
<br>

<div><font color="#ff0000">In your <em>./sites/default/settings.php</em>

PHP installation currently does not support this database type.</font></div>

<p>When I finally found settings.php, the file had been
automatically generated by the .deb installation script. There is
nothing obviously wrong with it. Debian notes say to use install.php at
this point to populate the data tables. Obviously this is not going to
happen until the above error is fixed. <br>
