 * I went to run the install script and I got a CGI timeout while I was waiting 
   for it to go to the second page of installing. The script appears to be able 
   to talk to the database, as the 10 tables have been created and an admin user
   with the applicable information is in it, but it didn’t work and I can’t retrieve
   the password to login.
 * URL is [http://wantzuponatime.com/wp_test/](http://wantzuponatime.com/wp_test/)
   and I’m fairly certain a different wordPress install has worked on the same server.

 * Looks okay to me, you must have fixed the problem.
