Yes, I had modified that per a support forum message I found. I've replaced it with a pristine file, but I'm still getting the same error.
Also, it doesn't matter whether I use install.php or the index redirect.

Thank you for the responses. First off, I know that 777 is bad. I was just making the point that I tried to set my permissions to fully writeable and it still wasn't working.
I made the error_reporting change in the php.ini file. This is the first app I'm installing, and I don't expect the others to need E_ALL.
So I made only the ./sites/default/settings.php with permission 777 and the rest at 755, and I am still getting the error:
Drupal database setup The following error must be resolved before you can continue the installation process: The Drupal installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process.
What else should I check?
I've seen this before. You must have modified the settings.php file to include the database information by hand. I forget what I did but try specifying the install.php manually in the URI. E.G. mysite.org/install.php
If that doesn't work, install the pristine file from the tarball and enter the DB information in the web form.
