Bill,
I appreciate the advice, I'm a newbie to profiles but not to Drupal. However am taking on a setup which is non-standard and in production. One of the things I noticed right away is there is no .htaccess for our sites. The developers have put all the mod_rewrite directives on the httpd.conf file.
Not the only problem I'm gonna be dealing with here, needless to say.

Marty, When I got started with Drupal, I purchased one of the Drupal for Dummies books. Drupal is now at version 7 (8 is too new to use yet) and you need to make sure the book covers the version you are using. One gotcha is the invisible .htaccess file that must be in the root of your installation. Another important file is the setups.php file in the sites/default folder. I use MAMP on Mac or WAMP on windows to create a local version to play with.
Get a book. It will save you loads of time and orient you to the drupal way of doing things.
Good luck. Bill

I am getting the message
"
No profiles available
We were unable to find any installer profiles. Installer profiles tell us what modules to enable and what schema to install in the database. A profile is necessary to continue with the
installation process."
This is on a new site I am attempting to set up in a somewhat non-standard environment and I am unfamiliar with profiles.
How can I get started? Googling didn't quite do it for me.
