CiviCRM 4.5.8 for Drupal 7.x
php = 5.3.24
mysql = 5.1.65

Thank you for responding.   

I followed the instructions in this page:
 http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Drupal+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.5+-+Drupal+7 page.

I am on a shared VPS account

I installed a fresh copy of Drupal 7.

I wasn't sure how to get the downloaded installer on the server.  I unzipped it on my mac and uploaded the entire civicrm folder to /var/www/html/drupal/sites/all/modules

Regarding step 2, "Tell Drupal where to find the CiviCRM 4.5 Module" I think it went well using the standard installer.  I didn't have to do it manually.

I used the installer at
http://mydomain.com/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/

I used servers = localhost,  civicrm database = civicrm, drupal database = drupal.  Language is english.  If you want, I can send you a pdf of the page after it verified everything.

It told me I had to increase my php memory and mysql thread stacks which I did.  It then said that it looked good and was ready to install.  I pressed the "Check requirements and install civicrm" button at the top.

Does that answer your question or do you need more specifics?
