Installing drupal (6.x), linked to new DB, then a variety of stupid problems after which I deleted the DB to start over. Edited settings.php to reflect new DB name and login. Drupal doesn't come up . . .

1) should it, if I correctly edited settings.php? or do I need to change other files as well?

2) or - is deleting the DB an hour after I started a no-no and other recovery or re-install tactics are necessary.

Thanks for any and all help! - Jim

If starting over is the way to fly (I mean, you did drop your DB), just re-copy default.settings.php over your settings.php and navigate back. It will re-run the installer.
