CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

 have completed uploading civiCRM to the modules folder on my site and have created a new database in MySQL according to the instructions using myphpadmin. I have completed this step:

Bring up the SQL window for the civicrm_db
Browse to /var/www/drupal/modules/civicrm/sql/civicrm_41.mysql and click Go
Load required and sample data by browsing to /var/www/drupal/modules/civicrm/sql/civicrm_generated.mysql and click Go

Everything seemed to upload correctly.

I am stuck at the "Edit civiCRM Configuration files:

I cannot seem to find or perhaps I don't understand how to do this next step as the following directs.

6. Edit CiviCRM Configuration File
The CiviCRM configuration file contains important settings which control the database connections, directory path, and resource URLs for your site. CiviCRM will not load properly until these basic settings have been configured. A sample of this file is included in the distribution.

In this section, you will create a working copy of the configuration file and edit the settings to meet your environment and requirements. This procedure assumes a single Drupal 'default' site with a single CiviCRM configuration file. For multi-site Drupal installations, you will have a separate civicrm.settings.php file for each site (corresponding to the Drupal settings.php file for each site). More info on multi-site installations...

Create your working copy of the configuration file by copying the sample file to the appropriate Drupal sites directory.
$ cd /var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm
$ cp civicrm.settings.php.sample /var/www/drupal/sites/default/civicrm.settings.php

Would someone please simplify this for me so that I can complete this installation.

Thanks.
