1. Note
   title Information concerning "settings.php" file
   NOTE: Some web hosting environments have PHP and Apache run by the same user. In these instances, Drupal 7.x may attempt to execute the copy and privilege adjustments of the "settings.php" file. If this happens, skip directly to creating a database for Drupal. If you get errors about your "settings.php" file when you "run the install script" in your browser, you will need to manually copy and adjust priviledges of the "settings.php" file.

   Make a copy of the default.settings.php file in the sites/default directory and name the copy settings.php.

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php

2. Give the web server write privileges to sites/default/settings.php and the sites/default/directory:

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php $ chmod a+w sites/default

3. Manually configure the MySQL database for Drupal. Make note of your username and password as you will need it when the Drupal install script runs.

   Code Block
   language sql
   $ mysql -u root -p mysql> create database drupal; mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON drupal.* TO 'drupalAdmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; mysql> flush privileges; mysql> exit

4. Run the install script by pointing your browser to the base URL of your website (e.g. http://www.example.com/).
5. Work through the on-screen steps to complete the Drupal site installation.
6. When the install script succeeds, you will be directed to the "Welcome" page, and you will be logged in as the administrator.

7. Configure clean URLs. 

8. Proceed with the initial configuration steps suggested on the "Welcome" page.
