# setup-config install creating problems?

 * In my rush, I just hunted out the familiar file to install wp with, and grabbed
   this one: /wp-admin/setup-config.php instead of /wp-admin/install.php.
 * It worked, but…
    now I notice two strange things and wonder if this has to do
   with it and how to correct.
 * When I click View Site from the Admin Panel, the screen generated is blank. When
   I hit refresh, the login dialog box comes up (the links of which work to get 
   me to the site or back to the panel, but it doesn’t feel right).
 * The other is that I’m almost positive I chose that empty categories should still
   show, but they are hidden nontheless.
 * I could live with both of these problems, but am afraid other script might also
   be messed up.
 * Has anyone done this too?

 * Nope, not done it. But if I did, I’d try running /wp-admin/upgrade.php to see
   if it fixed any problems.
