I am trying to set up a test site on my computer using WAMP.
I have WAMP set up, and have downloaded Drupal 6.3 into the www folder.
I have set up a database using phpmyadmin and created settings.php with the appropriate details.
When I go to http://localhost/drupal I get a screen full of error messages that are basically saying that the database doesn't contain the right tables. I thought the installer was going to populate the database for me.
I found some instructions telling me to import a database file from the includes folder, but I have tried with all of the database files, and every one gives me a screenful of sql error messages.
Please, can someone help me before I pull the rest of my hair out? I am completely new to Drupal - hence the test site, so please don't assume any prior knowledge!
