    I'm trying to install drupal on my shared hosting account but have two errors can you help with these.

    register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled.

    &

    Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.http_input setting.

    I tried to create a php.ini file and add rules but it did not seem to make any difference please help.

    Nice of you to share and what are your arguments?

    Drupal is more a framework meant for the bigger complex websites. Wordpress is a CMS ready out of the box even a dummy can get it working. With Drupal how ever you really need to learn how it works.

    Your hosting support can change that.

    I have followed installation instruction from: http://drupal.org/node/260 but no joy since Drupal installation instruction are not clear to follow. I am stuck on number 3. RUN THE INSTALL SCRIPT. Also I have follow information from: http://drupal.org/forum But no joy.

    Check out: http://drupal.org/node/628292

    (Can not post links yet.)

    For me personally it is very clear what to do, at step three just copy (dont rename it) the default.settings.php to settings.php.

    So at the end you got two setting files at the following directory:
    sites/default/settings.php
    sites/default/default.settings.php
