Worse still I can’t delete some folders/files because of permission problems…
So anyway I changed the name by removing the .dist part, then try again and I get this error next….
Fatal error: Failed opening required ‘wp-blogs//blogs2/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php’) in /path to/www/html/blogs2/wp-inst/wpmu-settings.php on line 28
“‘wp-blogs//blogs2/wp-config.php'”
The double slash there is the problem, and this is caused not by WP, but by an error in the PHP installation of your host.
I appreciate the effort that has gone into WP, but this installation BLOWS. At least on my end. I’ve been trying to install the damn’ program for a good day now, and once I finally got all my files uploaded and everything sorted, I followed the instructions to go to my domain and the wp-admin/install.php file.
At which point, I received this error message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/venialsi/www/www/wp-admin/install.php on line 533
I just don’t get it any more. This 5-minute installation has turned into a nightmare, and I’m really desperate to get started with this whole thing. If anyone could help out, I’d really appreciate it.
If you want to email me – I’ll need at least ftp access, I’ll give it a whirl 🙂

I haven’t no, but I have installed dozens of blogs for people when they’ve had problems, and only once had to admit defeat when the server itself had no PHP support – that was just tooo tricky 🙂
What I would do is this:
– Delete all the files you have, keeping only wp-config.php
– Upload files I have here which I know have unzipped correctly
– Run install
and anything else listed here:

Installed 🙂
(ftp issues probably)
