 * When attempting to install WordPress via Fantastico De Luxe, I get the message:“
   Cannot install: Following filenames already exist in main directory of the domain…….(
   path =”/home/……..). You must manually remove these files before proceeding with
   auto-installation”.
 * My problem is that I cannot trace these files in order to remove them. Any idea
   what caused the problem and how should I solve it.

 * Does it literally say “domain…….(path =”/home/……..).” including all the dots?
 * If you go into your control panel and use the files option then you should see
   the installed files in the public_html directory. I think the full pathname is
   something like /home/_yourusername_/public_html.

 * Jacob,
 * You already have some files in the folder you’ve specified for wordpress. Try
   to install it into another folder (or clear the specified folder and install 
   there) using the article above.

   in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress\wp-config.php on line 77. This is line 77: $
   table_prefix = ‘wp_’;. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

 * chash,
 * You’ve made a simple syntax error while modifying config file. Check out the 
   last line you’ve modified above 77 line. The syntax error should be there, like
   no semicolon or quotes.

 * Thank you Arthur,
 * It was a simple error. I entered ” instead of ‘ ‘. That cost me a lot of time
   and frustration.
 * Your help is appreciated.
