 * I have intalled and activated Exhibit. But when i try to create the tables, i
   get this error:
    ——————– Not Found The requested URL /blog/wp-admin/post.php&
   exhibit=install was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error
   was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ————————
   What have i done wrong?

 * Weird. You must have a post.php page, since the script creates the URL using 
   $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]. I’m not sure how this could happen.
    Well, you can create
   the table manually in phpMyAdmin or MySQL directly using this query: `CREATE 
   TABLE wp_exhibit ( ID int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, post_ID int(11) NOT NULL
   default '0', photo varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', thumb varchar(100) default
   NULL, caption text, preview smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (ID)");
   Be sure that the table name, “wp_exhibit”, uses the prefix of your WordPress 
   database (“wp_”) and that “photos” is specified as the table name in your Exhibit
   config. Otherwise, change them to match.

 * i think i was doing this wrong.
    i tried again on the SQL page instead of the
   Query page and got this “#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘”)’
   at line 8 “ this is what i posted in `CREATE TABLE wp_exhibit ( ID int(11) NOT
   NULL auto_increment, post_ID int(11) NOT NULL default '0', photo varchar(100)
   NOT NULL default '', thumb varchar(100) default NULL, caption text, preview smallint(
   6) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (ID) " );

 * Ok, forget all that.
    Go back to the Exhibit installation instructions:
 * > Edit an **existing post** (or draft) and click on the link in the Exhibit area
   > to create the required database table (if it doesn’t already exist).
 * In other words, do not click the link from a new blank post, or it won’t work.

 * Without a URL to look at, I can only guess that you haven’t made changes to the
   CSS or config files so that Exhibit integrates well within your site.
