Saw that thanks (it’s in a thread a bit down from the top here on page 1). I’ve already completed that step. Thing is now the index.php page just draws blank. Figure that meanst a) myqsql db isn’t correct or b) I’m not doing the next step correctly. I’m leaning towards a).
Yes it’s all local. Simply I have:
Empty MySQL DB with user (with all rights for now) for WP
PHP 5 installed and working in IIS
MySQL up and running without error
WP unzipped into it’s own directory
WP ini file modified with MySQL bd/user info
What should happen next? Pretty sure blank pages indicate something is wrong.
I have installed the latest nightly (1.3pre-alpha2) onto php5 without any problems, but 1.2mingus breaks. Not IIS though ….
This thread shows some problems I’m afraid

No I am past all those types of errors. My last thread shows how to configure successfully PHP/IIS for 2003.
Take for example in MS SQL when I create a new empty DB the very next thing I do is imprint it with a structure, either manually or via a script.
How does that occur with WP? I’ve set WP to look at the localhost and logon with a username and password but now all pages php simply load blank.
After the 5 minute wiki config what is the next step? Should I get a logon box at the default wp url on my box? Do I need to point to another php file in the wpadmin directoy and run that to continue? Is there a log the wp php creates so I can see if it is having issues hitting MySQL?
Any ideas/pointers are appreciated.
Okay..
I create only the db name – nothing else.
The first part of the install will create all the tables and put various bits of data into those tables.
My localhost blog is at
http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/index.php
To install it, I went to
http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
Yeah when I hit that second url page (on my server) draws blank. Hmmm, I’ll keep digging.
