 * i assume so. the only things i needed to change were the mysql settings, right?
   table name, and username and password?

 * i have the same problem
    i guess the problem is the path of the wp-admin we need
   to hack so wp will read the correct path of our server

 * Anonymous,
    Make sure that there is not a trailing slash at the end of the URL
   to your site. Also, make sure that your user is a member of the database. When
   I did my first install, I didn’t realise that when I created the user in MySQL
   that I also had to tell MySQL which database to allow the user to, well, USE!
   Hope this helps. Let us know if it doesn’t. The software is more than worth a
   few bumps in the road! 🙂 Craig.
