    Hello

    I have just uploaded WP 2.7 via Smart FTP into my directory folder, i have also changed the database username, the username, password and have left the host name as localhost, this has now been saved to
    wp-config.php

    I have then tried to begin the 1st step of wordpress at..
    http://www.highavenue.co.uk/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

    but am receiving an error message, can someone please advise what i am doing wrong in basic newbie instructions?
    Also these are the details of what i entered with password hidden

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘ibm’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘ibm’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    thank you

  • its the bane of wordpress blogs everywhere: IIS

    do you have to use IIS? if not, I would be asking your host to switch to a Linux/BSD server.

    If i am understanding your question correctly, yes i do need a windows host rather than linux as i have other hosting needs as well.
    Can WP 2.7 operate successfully on a windows host?
