Stuck Installing Drupal-SQLite
My company web site is small (currently 18 .xhtml pages) so I prefer to use SQLite3 rather than postgres for a CMS database. Installing the SQLite modification for Drupal-6.19 (the entire tarball) worked fine. However, I'm stuck at the 4th (of 7) set up steps. The step has me enter the name of the database, then press the button to continue to the next step. When I do this, the db/ directory is created and the empty database filename is installed there. However, I cannot move on to the next step because I'm returned to that database creation page each time. Naturally, this is frustrating, particularly for a newcomer migrating straight .xhtml and .css to Drupal. What should I do to continue the installation and move on to building the new site? TIA, Rich
Go to drupal.org and open an issue on the module issue queue. On Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 1:52 PM, Rich Shepard <rshepard@appl-ecosys.com>wrote:

Victor, The issue seems to be a requirement for the same file with two names (default.settings.php and settings.php) to be present. That does not seem right to me. Is this worth reporting? Thanks, Rich
As you guys found out, that issue has nothing to do with any module, but with the Drupal install process; I can't find the issue right now (and that has happened to me too!), but I am sure it is well known, so I would agree it is not worth reporting, On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 11:53 AM, Rich Shepard <rshepard@appl-ecosys.com>wrote:

Victor, If almost everyone trips over this the text should be changed to tell new users to copy rather than move. Or, have the installation script create the settings.php file and make changes in it automatically. Rich

even smarter: review this backport patch http://drupal.org/node/312144#comment-3054080 so it can go into next drupal-6.x release.

Do you have default.settings.php in sites/default directory ? This happened to me with MySQL, when i renamed default.settings.php to settings.php instead of copying default.settings.php to settings.php. -- Sivaji
