 * Do you have a question?
 * There should have been a wp-config-sample.php file in your wordpress download.
   Just copy it to wp-config.php, fill it in with your database information, and
   upload.

 * I will post an install problem in the same topic, that saves some paper ;).
    
   I have a friend for who I want to install wordpress. I run everything as it should
   be. The tables are made in mySQL (I see it via phpMyAdmin) and I get the login
   screen. After filling out that screen we get the next screen

 * I deleted the tables, and did a reinstall. Same problem.
    I’ve changed the database
   location to another host, same problem again.
 * Could that be, because there is a .com domain and a .be domain?
 * Thx in advance.
