    OK. So I’m trying like everyone else to install correctly. On my site literatureinreview.com I have two directories /blog and /admin. I’ve followed the directions for database creation. My database (seen from inside phpAdmin) is called “wordpress”. I can’t seem to run the “install.php” script as indicated in Step 5 of the detailed installation instructions. Any thoughts?

    Have you configured your wp-config.php file? It’s initially called wp-config-sample.php. You need to fill in your database details.

    Secondly, if you have done this, what error message are you getting when you try to run install.php? If it’s saying “File not found”, then are you using the correct path (i.e http://www.yoursite.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)?

    Hi Davidjg,

    Yes, I’ve followed the instructions for the wp-config.php file. Actually I solved the problem. For some reason Yahoo requires renaming ‘localhost’ to ‘mysql’. After that everything is fine.

    Thanks for the tip…
