   I am trying to install WordPress to a blank DB (and have done this many times on different servers), but this is the first attempt at a clean install of 2.8, and when trying to execute install.php, the following error message is stored in the log (the browser shows me nothing but a white page):

   [06-Sep-2009 18:30:52] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /hsphere/local/home/masterfa/masterfade.com/mainsite/wp-config.php on line 58

   Line 58 of the config file is:

   $table_prefix = 'wp_mgone';

   Any ideas to what is wrong here?

   H.

   Start over by copying wp-config-sample.php to a clean wp-config.php and don't put anything in the 'secret key' lines (so there's no extra quotes/apostrophes confusion) until the blog installs.

   Thanks. That did it. Can I now re-introduce the keys into wp-config.php without causing trouble?

   Sure.
