   Hi,

   I am trying to install WordPress 2.6, now I have uploaded all the files and folder to a the directory as a test, like this.

   /root/wordpress/

   as a test, I have changed the settings on the config file and renamed it as it says on the readme.
   When I go to the install URL, and fill my blog name and email address and then click install, I get loads of database error but at the bottom of the page it say installed fine and gives me a username and passwrod and a button to cllck to login, when I click the link it takes back to the blog name and email address page.

   I have checked the config file i.e. the database name, password but everything looks correct?

   So can anyone help please?

   Thanks
   Danny

   You might want to confirm that the database user is assigned the proper privileges as described in Installing WordPress-Step 2 Create the Database and a User.

   Yes I have given the user all privileges ?

   when I click on the install button I get a number of database errors as an example here is one line

   WordPress database error: [Unknown collation: 'WP']

   this happens on every table that wordpress tried to create

   can anyone offer an solution please?

   Thanks
   Dan

   [Unknown collation: 'WP']

   I don't think there is collation defined as "WP".
   You better don't touch that line in the wp-config file!
