 * What is on line 9, and did this happen straight after the successful install,
   or have you changed anything at all ?

 * This is line 9:
    <?php while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { start_b2();?

 * I am confused ……. in the other thread – and I assume it was you – the problem
   installing WordPress was sorted.
    If that was the case, and wordpress was in 
   fact installed, where has this line 9 come from ? And if it did work, then you
   made a change, and it now does not work, have you tried reversing the change 
   you made ?

 * The problem with the other thread was the way I filled out my config file. I 
   was just doing that wrong and made a simple mistake, and it is now installed.
   That had nothing to do with this error. I don’t know what I changed… :/

 * I don’t have what it was before I changed it. It was storming here so I had to
   shut down the computer. I should have saved it! *bangs head against wall*

 * This is what I have now that I changed to from whatever it was before:
    <?php/*

 * This is a b2 blog, not a wordpress blog ?
    I ask because I don’t have a line 
   like that one above in my index.php If nothing else, would upgrading it to WordPress
   be an option ?

 * That looks like you have part of WP code running, and part of b2 running as well.
   They don’t get on well, despite their relationship in the past …
    Have you upgraded
   but kept index.php the same ?

 * Well…I downloaded it from wordpress. Should the b2comments.php be different? 
   I got it from this tutorial (which is somehow now offline, though it was online
   earlier).

 * I’m not familiar with how much b2 code will run in 1.2mingus … can you get to
   the WP irc channel and ask there ?
    A pointer to the tutorial may be useful too.

 * WP irc channel? And the tutorial’s offline. It comes up 404 now.
