   I've tried maybe 5 times to do a clean install of 1.0 and everytime i run the install-config and enter my database info, i get led to this message:
   "It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."
   This page is the install.php so it just links to the same page...a never-ending loop.
   Can anyone help?
   Thanks

   Did you create the MySql database (before using the install script) and change the necessary values in wp-config-sample.php and rename it to wp-config.php?
   I dont quite understand what you mean by "i run the install-config".

   but the prob is that, if we are upgrading from b2 0.6.1, are we suppose to run install.php first or we can straight away run upgrade.php
   The readme.html is not tt informative.

   Works fine for me on a clean install.
   Still am a bit cynical abt the upgrades as my backend is not letting me take backups of the databases... :(

   I seem to have the same 'loop' problem when I get to running install.php.
   To Laughing Lizard: the install of 1.0 now includes s cript to create the wp-config.php file for you.
   The first step is to run install-config.php, this sets up wp-config.php, then you are supposed to run install.php to ste up the dtatbase, but some of us are getting stuck in loop here it seems.
   Anyway, the wp-config.php file was reated properly AFAICS.
   Win2k, Xitami 2.5 webserver, MySQL 3.23.52-nt, PHP 4.2.3

   Okay, I tried that again on another server and it still has the same errors.. :(
   The lines in the wp-login.php are those, that send cookies for the login and somehow, this seems to be a problem with the Apache..

   Hi - I've run into the same loop problem with a "It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."
   I'm running MySQL 3.23.47-nt and PHP 4.3.3 on Windows XP IIS - replicated in IE6 and NS7 and with a clean install as well as an upgrade.

    i found a work around.
    open wp-settings.php and comment off this line
    [code]if (!$wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $tableoptions LIMIT 1") && !strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI'], 'install.php')) {
    die("It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php.");
    }[/code]It should work well

    I tried the wp-settings workaround but now i get sql errors saying the tables can't be found. My mysql is all correct and everything has the right permissions but the script didn't make the tables.
    Any ideas?

    The workaround will only work (and will only be needed) if you already have b2 tables which you are upgrading. Rocksolid...try changing the wp-config.php manually

    Gamerz tip got me past the It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php. line int he upgarde script but the upgrade script first throughs up
    SQL/DB Error:
    [La table 'chris_test.b2options' n'existe pas]
    SELECT option_name, option_value FROM b2options
    then if I just click through the steps The script then makes b2options (it appears in the mysql db) and fill it with data but when I go to the blog I get the same eror I was seeing with the CVS versions...
    SQL/DB Error:
    [Manque de mémoire. Redémarrez le démon et ré-essayez (65500 octets nécessaires)]
    SELECT DISTINCT * FROM b2posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date <= '2004-01-03 15:43:42' AND (post_status = "publish") ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 20
    IE out of memory - it can still access the DB as it lists my links but it allegedly can't see any of the 40ish posts in my blog
    http://wordpress.org/support/3/1505 I suspected that it may be a mod_rewrite problem but turning on mod_rewrite on my server has done nothing :(

    OK - after having problems installing on Win XP - posted as Anon. above...
    Installed on MySQL 3.23 on Apache 2 running on OSX 10.2.8 - PHP 4.2 or better, I think.
    Installed fine, although for the first three pages of the install the top if the page showed:
    SQL/DB Error
    [Table 'wordpress.wp_options' doesn't exist ]
    SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options
    Final page fine, and everything wonderful on my OSX install - nice work Matt and the team!
    So - phpAdmin to dump the SQL from my OSX MySQL installation and upload to my PC MySQL database - a little light editing for path names and the Win XP install is up and running - almost perfect, but ther is an error on every page printed at the bottom:
    "get_settings: Didn't find setting comment_allowed_tags "
    It sounds like to partial fix/work around above ($tableoptions test commented out) is on the right track - foxed by the difference between XP (IIS) and OSX (apache2) though - there is some OS and browser sniffing going on in the code that might be feeding the wrong flags?
    I'm off to run an install on a virtual server and see how that goes...

    I think this is related to the wiki faq I was reading about not having more than one wp installation on the same host.
    http://wiki.wordpress.org/index.php/Installation%20FAQs
    "A sub-domain needs to be created for each Word Press installation"

    Meep, wrong.
    I installed WP 1.0 on a completely new domain and a completely new database and the problem is still the same.
    To me it sounds more like a problem PHP <-> Apache..

    WildDuck's reference to the other page does fix the problem with headers. Adding the comment_allowed_tags entry into the options table fixes all of the headers already sent errors. The question is WHY?

    Looks like i've got the same problem as arthuc01, i'm getting the following error after an upgrade from .72 to 1.0:
    SQL/DB Error:
    [Out of memory. Restart daemon and try again (needed 65528 bytes)]
    SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date <= '2004-01-04 21:16:49' AND (post_status = "publish") ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 10
    I've also tried doing a clean install and after that wp 1.0 runs without any trouble, so i suppose there's a problem with the upgrade. I've tried this on a WAMP setup (WinXP, Apache/2.0.47 (Win32), PHP/4.3.3, MySQL 3.23.49).
    Any idea?

    Okay. I fixed this on my OpenBSD 3.4 box by messing with my.cnf and ulimit.
