Crash at step 2 when installing (9 posts)

    Hello,
    I tried to install WP, but at creating tables and putting some sample text into the database it goes wrong.
    Something goes wrong in the function: dbDelta()

    I tried to adjust the code, but when removing the code below '// Check to see which tables and fields exist ' to the $allqueries part I can make it work to at least create some tables.. (but I don't think all).. in that loop it also crashes and no input is put into the tables. The page ends with the message 'Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.'

    No other message appear. Only when I comment the query line it can give more messages.. about a password and that I can login. But that won't work because there are only empty tables then. Also when I try to access files it is asking to downloading the file.

    What goes wrong? Anyone can help me with this?

    thanks,

    Alex

    specifics, we need more specifics. :)

    Operating System (FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, etc...)
    Web Server (IIS, Apache, etc..)
    mySQL version
    PHP version and mode it is running in (module or CGI)?
    what version of WordPress are you trying to install (1.5.x, 2.0.x, 2.1, etc..)?

    You say "something goes wrong in the function: dbDelta". Do you get any error message?

    Are you sure the user has full database privileges? Do you have something like phpMyAdmin to test if the database is fully operational?

    I don't get any error messages. It stops with displaying the page. Mostly if something goes wrong I get error messages.

    It is on my server and I run it with a db user that have all privileges.

    Maybe I should download all the files again or maybe an older version. I will try that.

    No one?
    I think I will try an older version. Can I find an older version of wordpress somewhere?
