I dunno
I tried to use a database from one domain and apply to another, there seems to be a pointer in there, it seemed to redirect to the original domain.
If you have uploaded all your WP files right, just make sure the wp-config-sample.php file is writable..also, make a copy of that file but change it to: wp-config.php once, with all your DB connections info in it.
But, also, is your domain name actually pointing to a DNS server addy…or is it a redirect? I’d just mess around with the wp-config-sample.php file a bit and or upload the wp-config.php file (Which is the wp-config-sample.php, changed to wp-config.php), with the actual DB settings, username, password and host informations once.
Also, make sure all your WordPress files are in ONE folder, the same folder….and you made your DataBase, with that username for permissions for “all”! And then fill in the fields through the installation process correctly.. Maybe either it’s the host’s fault or you’re just mis-spelling something.. never know.

As writable, I mean like 666 chmod, or 777. But 777 should be changed right away to 666!! For your config.php file I mean..
Yeah this is started to drive me nuts. I rebuilt the DB by exporting SQL from another domain. I plugged in my own data in the DB and its still wanting to redirect to the original domain I generated the db from.
I don’t get it. There are 3 tables that have any data.
wp_options
wp_usermeta
wp_users
I’ve gone through every field and cannot find where the old data is coming from.
When I access the login page, the links at the bottom refer to
1.) An old subdirectory–previous to this WP install, I tried to make a different subdir name–changed WordPress to Blog.
Now the link back to the blog is using the URL from the domain I got the db tables from. Hmmm, where is it getting this from?
And the Lost password is trying to send me to the old subdirectory.
In the wp_options part of the DB, change the two URL’s of the original to the new location URL once. Wonder’s where moshu and podz are when ya need them lol!!

thanks spencerp – I’m been debating about starting a new support question – lucky I’ve been lucky enough to had a domain or two to experiment on. but no solution yet 😉
Thanks guys. Turns out my answer was found in the first link that spencerp posted. It had to do with the CHMOD permissions. Once I followed that, the install and reinstall went perfectly smooth.
OctaneGuy, glad to help. Really it’s the help from the ppls on the other end of that link I gave ya lol! =)
To myspokane, please specify what’s still not working… =)

working on wpblog tied to this user id domain
trying to do 2 things
1.put on root of domain not in a subdir and also upgrade to 2.0
I’ve tried several variations of installs and upgrades with no luck
I’m starting to think it has something to putting on root(no subdir)
trying to keep the database I have going with the content.
forgot to mention I have\had deleted it completely from the domain all they way down to the mysql and username and then restored as an upload
