 * I just installed WordPress on a new site and I’m only seeing a text version of
   the blog. I can’t login either. I have looked at the wp-config.php file and can’t
   see anything wrong. I believe it may have to do with Step2 since it won’t run.
   Help!

 * I’ve tried everything short of re-installing from scratch. Any other ideas?

 * It was pretty confusing, but I finally got it. Thanks.
    For those of you who 
   are struggling, I found the problem in the mysql site-url setting. It took a 
   couple of adjustments, but it finally worked.
 * Adapt these instructions to your setup: [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/)
