I use yahoo hosting. I have used many of the previous versions of wordpress with no problems until now. I decided to install a fresh version (new site) of wordpress 2.6.3. The install goes fine. I can get to the admin page fine. After I click on a few options to update the blog information and then go view the blog it forwards me to install wordpress again. Any ideas on why this is happening? I would assume it is an issue with the wp_options table in the database but why would this be occurring now on a consistent basis?
Thanks!
UPDATE: Here is the repair of the wp_options table after a FRESH install. PHPMyAdmin says that wp_options is 'IN USE.'
SQL query
SQL query:
REPAIR TABLE wp_options

this is the 3rd or 4th time Ive replied to the same issue with a wp blog hosted on yahoo.
repair the tables.
then go get a plugin to disable the revisions stuff introduced in newer WP versions.
yahoo doesnt like it.
