whoops! Changed settings.php and now get redirected to "Database Configuration" page.
I'm having one of those dreaded "can't get into my own site" moments! I altered the cookie lifetime in settings.php from 2000000 to 900, opened ftp, uploaded .....and now I get redirected to this URL every time: http://www.mysite.com/install.php?profile=default looking on the drupal.org forum, it seems as though permissions may be my problem. At the moment, it is 644. I just made a comparison between my settings.php and the currently settings.php in the 5.1 tar and the only difference is the cookie length, so I'm stumped. I don't want to enter any db info on the db config page lest it start to do fresh install. I have backed up db just in case. anyone had this problem?

If it is truly a permissions problem (though I don't recall seeing this behavior for that problem), then set the file to read-only for owner and group and nothing for other.

Shouldn't the $db_url be different also? Or did you create a database using Drupal's default settings?
anyone had this problem?

OK, sorry to have bothered the mailing list with my noob stoopidity....as Jason so rightly said, I overwrote my old settings.php with the default one, without the db settings/password, etc. I will leave it to the mailing list to decide my punishment. :-( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Flatt" <drupal@oadaeh.net> To: <support@drupal.org> Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 3:34 PM Subject: Re: [support] whoops!

This file should be set with read only privileges. That will prevent it from being overwritten without notice unless of course you copy over it with forced overwrite. Earnie -- http://for-my-kids.com/
