   Hi.

   i had previously installed 2.5, but since i never actually got any content there i deleted the folder where it was and installed again with wordpress 2.6

   now i get this error: Fatal error: "Call to a member function set_prefix() on a non-object in /.../.../public_html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 212"

   i cant even finish installation. i tried downloading again and uploading evrything again, i even tried uploading to deferent folders (the root and a "blog" folder i created) and i allways get this error. dont know why.

   on line 212 of that file is the code:
   $prefix = $wpdb->set_prefix($table_prefix);

   the table prefix on the wp-config file is simply "wp_"

   can anyone help?

   thanks

   You need to change the table prefix in wp-config.php to something else innovative - like "wp1_"

   Or create a new database and enter those values in wp-config.php

   Or delete all tables in your current database.

   hi. sambol thanks for your help.

   unfortunately it didn't work. i forgot to mention that i had deleted my old database and created a new one when i installed the new version. I deleted it again and also changed the table prefix to "wp1_" and uploaded that file, but i still get the same error...

   i really don't know what can be causing this.
   i just deleted my old public_html/blog folder, and created a new folder with the same name, and copied the 2.6 files there after inserting the database info in the config.php file...

   you can see the error here http://www.rui-m.com/blog

   can you think of anything else that might be causing this?

   thanks
