Step 3: Create the settings.php file
Submitted by Luis on Thu, 09/19/2013 - 19:28Step 3 in my opinion is the most important!
Prior to running the installation script, you must create a settings.php file and set some permissions.
Settings.php
Your Drupal download comes with a sample configuration file at sites/default /default.settings.php. The default file must be copied and the new file must be given the correct name, settings.php.
