I tried to install wordpress, but at the bottom of my pages I get the following error:
WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 for query SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM made by require_once
Anyone knows how this can be fixed?
cat_id is not a normal WordPress database field.
Please download a new copy of WordPress from the Download tab at the top of this page and review Installing WordPress.

Try searching your theme directory for "cat_id, cat_name" to find places where this database call is getting made, and commenting them out. I just ran into this on an old blog with an old theme, and it was hiding in the sidebar.php file.
