 * I’ve followed the installation instructions to the letter and have installed 
   3 versions prior with no challenges, but this version 3.1.1 is not liking me.
 * I run the install.php script in the browser and it keeps taking me to an internal
   server error. I’m perplexed. I have the config.php setup with the DB name, DB
   username, PW and localhost info.
 * any clues?

 * I have a similar issue. I extracted the files to the desktop. I try to open install.
   php in IE 8 and it wants to download a file. It doesnt take me to a install page
   or anything like the readme file says.
