Installation error
-
I am having trouble installing wp.
I am running php4.3.1, mysql 4.0.15, apache 2.0.44 on redhat8.
The top of my b2config.php looks like this:
————————————————————
$siteurl = ‘http://mysite.com/wp’; // Double check this, it’s very important.
$blogfilename = ‘index.php’;
$blogname = “Learning Center”;
$blogdescription = “Learning Center Description”;
// Your email (obvious eh?)
$admin_email = ‘wp-admin@mysite.com’;
// ** MySQL settings **
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mc’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘mcadmin’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxx’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
————————————————————
The bottom of my b2config.php looks like this:
————————————————————
$relpath = ”;
$url = explode(‘/’, $siteurl);
for ($i = 3; $i < count($url); $i++) {
$relpath .= ‘/’. $url[$i];
}
//$abspath = getenv(‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’) . $relpath . ‘/’;
//$abspath = “/home/wp” . $relpath . ‘/’;
$abspath = “/home/wp/”;
$b2inc = “/$b2inc”;
$pathserver = &$siteurl;
require_once($abspath.$b2inc.’/wp-db.php’);

Clearly, I already hit the same errors others have already gotten. The problem is, that I have a blank page for ‘/wp/wp-admin/wp-install.php’. Here is the HTML source:
————————————————————
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″></head>
<BODY>

What’s the fix for this? I know the mysql account and password are correct because if I type this from the command line:
————————————————————
./mysql -p –user=mcadmin mc
————————————————————
I can access the database (after typing in the correct password).
For fun, here are the permissions for the database account (which is WAY too much, and I would like to reduce them significantly–so what should I revoke?):
————————————————————
mysql> select * from mysql.user;
