   I have a problem with installing WordPress 2.5.1 I get a blank screen when it gets to running the install.php file.

   I saw a thread that had the same problem and it was with the .htaccess but i do not have this file on my host?

   Version 2.0 installs fine but as you can imagine I do not want to use such an old version.

   Nothing is created in the Database. I tryed upgrading 2.0 to 2.5.1 but that also just displays a Blank screen when you goto the admin panel.

   should I create a .htaccess file? any help would be Greatly appreciated!

   Hello I was having the same problem.

   Try going to the config file and deleting that whole secret key section of four or five lines, somethings screwy with it.

   If u still have problems try replacing the localhost with the real address which will look something like mysql4.yourhost.net.

   Hope that helps.

   Hi, Lazy Dropout

   Your tip definitely solved my problem. The instructions sort of skipped over the idea that I would need to update the localhost setting, but I tried it like you said and it worked.

   So even though you weren't specifically helping me, you did. :)

   Peace

   If i put in mysql4.hostname.com I just get "Error establishing a database connection"

   I took out the secret key section also and nothing.

   I am having this exact same issue, only problem is that the advice in this thread isnt working.

   Does anyone know any other things I could try? I feel like grabbing an older version and installing from that, grr haha.

   Don't shot the messenger, but have you simply tried to refresh your browser? Often, it is just too easy.
