 * Hi,
 * I have installed WordPress 3.2.1 on a server and on clicking ‘Home’ on the Admin
   Dashboard, I am getting the below error for ‘WordPress Blog’, ‘Other WordPress
   News’, ‘Incoming Links’ & ‘Plugins’ window/tab.
 * Please help.
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_dashboard_setup() (previously declared in /home/
   ganesh3/public_html/brandme/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php:17) in /home/ganesh3/
   public_html/brandme/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 146
 * Thanks & Regards,
 * Ganesh Bhat

 * It looks like you’ve tried two separate installations but using the same database
   name.
 * Is this your first install?

 * Yes, it is my first install.
 * But I haven’t done 2 separate installations. How do I verify that this is the
   case.
 * Please let me know.
 * Thanks,

 * This is the URL. May be you should try it again as it is a ‘.in’ domain the DNS
   lookup may need some more servers to look into. Please try.
 * Generally this happens at times for my friends as well but it works fine after
   a few retries.
 * Thanks,
 * Ganesh Bhat.
