 * I’m trying to use Fantastico Deluxe to auto install WordPress. Due to a glitch,
   I had to delete the current installation and re-install it. The problem I’m experiencing

 * No, the real problem is that you tried to use Fantastico in the first place.
 * Seriously, install it yourself. It’s easy and you’ll learn something.

 * Thanks Otto – I figured it out – about pulled my hair out, but it worked ok in

   to make it more secure?
