Chris@0: SQLITE DATABASE CREATION
Chris@0: ------------------------
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: The Drupal installer will create the SQLite database for you. The only
Chris@0: requirement is that the installer must have write permissions to the directory
Chris@0: where the database file resides. This directory (not just the database file) also
Chris@0: has to remain writeable by the web server going forward for SQLite to continue to
Chris@0: be able to operate.
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: On the "Database configuration" form in the "Database file" field, you must
Chris@0: supply the exact path to where you wish your database file to reside. It is
Chris@0: strongly suggested that you choose a path that is outside of the webroot, yet
Chris@0: ensure that the directory is writeable by the web server.
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: If you must place your database file in your webroot, you could try using the
Chris@0: following in your "Database file" field:
Chris@0: 
Chris@0:   sites/default/files/.ht.sqlite
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: Note: The .ht in the name will tell Apache to prevent the database from being
Chris@0: downloaded. Please check that the file is, indeed, protected by your webserver.
Chris@0: If not, please consult the documentation of your webserver on how to protect a
Chris@0: file from downloading.
