Unable to locate the Database with Drupal

When I tried to locate the database location with Drupal, it keeps on asking me to input this information. I tried so many times and still with the same troublesome message.

Here gives me the solution:
http://drupal.org/node/312315

This happens if I lazily rename the default.settings.php into settings.php. In fact, I should have copied this file and rename it to settings.php. Never directly renaming the file or else the database message keeps on showing.

Install Drupal 6.12 with WAMP2.0h on Windows XP

Today I just started installing Drupal using WAMP2.0h. Installing WAMP2.0 is not a problem. It's as easy as clicking a button. Based on the default WAMP setting, we needa enable Curl and GD on PHP, and mod-rewrite in Apache server. Enable by left-clicking the WAMP icon near the clock, select PHP/Apache and then select the corresponding features.


Next, open a database for Drupal and the corresponding login account.

Open a browser for http://localhost and find Drupal. Installation process is then started. Simply type in the database and login information for your Drupal site and that's all.


Finished Drupal Site. mod-rewrite is needed for Clean URLs which helps in eliminating "?q" in URLs.
