I am in the process of installing Drupal 6.15 on my localhost - using windows xp and wamp. I am getting the error below - I know this has been reported various times and I made the change below that is recommended (created the settings.php file)
I am not sure how to provide file permissions in windows xp environment - The only option that I have is to create a share on the folder, or to click on disable the read only attribute. At this point, I am not sure what to do and gettin frusturated since I have reinstalled wamp and drupal almost 5 times now, starting from the beginning.
I see alot of responses for linux os using the unix commands - but not sure if there are commands in the windows environment for setting permissions like there are in unix /. linux.
here is the message:
"The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process.
Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php.
Change file permissions so that it is writable by the web server. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, please consult the on-line handbook.
More details about installing Drupal are available in INSTALL.txt."
Trying to install from this link.

While installing it says
The installer has encountered an unexpected error in installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753.
Downloaded it a few times, without any change.
Any ideas? Thanks.
