 * Now, for example, you could describe what kind of error you get.
    You could also
   tell us what exactly did you do before the error…

 * This is what the directions say:
 * “Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your
   favorite web browser.
 *  * If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: [http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php)
   *
   If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, 
   you should visit: [http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)“
 * Well, this is what I did, but I got an error saying that there was an unexpected}
   in line 397 of the file wp-db.php… I checked this file and it doesn’t appear 
   to even have that many lines … What does this mean??
 * Then I took the install.php file into editor to see if I had to change anything;
   well, I could not tell what I am supposed to do now
