for anyone having the above issue:
1. rename the configuration file to configuration.php as stated above(dist რო უწერია ბოლოში ეგეთი ფაილი უნდა ნახო კონფიგურაციის და მოაშორო ეგ dist)
but then you have to edit the configuration.php file
in the file find the db, user, password fields a few lines down and re-enter all the correct database info that applies to your website.
save the corrections, and overwrite the existing file
make sure it is configuration.php
and delete the installation folder or rename it something else
you should be good to go : )
