    I’m stuck here:
    Second Step

    Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: populate_options() in d:\gearhost\hostingaccounts\prothumian\www\paulandmichele\wp\wp-admin\install.php on line 140

    …I created a user with proper privileges and edited the config file. The system *is* includng the file that calls in populate_options().

    I want to migrate away from pmachine 2.3… help please 🙂

    My hosting co uses IIS w/php4 and mysql… I know pmachine had to have a tweak to run properly. Is there a similar tweak needed here?

    populate_options() lives in upgrade-schema.php. Sometimes these errors occur because a file was not uploaded in ASCII mode. Can you try re-uploading upgrade-schema.php, taking care to use ASCII mode for the upload?

    I did that, and it got through. I am noticing a large slew of PHP warnings (this must be something to do with my hosting company..?) such that I log in and get nothing but these warnings.

    That could be related to your hosting company, or it could be that most of your files were not uploaded in ASCII mode. Since you’re just starting out, it may be better to dump the database, delete the files, and try again (making sure that every file is uploaded in ASCII mode).

    I just finished a re-upload using FireFTP, which properly set to ascii. (It’s this upload tool that got me past step 2 btw).

    Still getting these messages, which are basically cookie settings. It appears the include file before these calls is trying to put something out…?

    OK – the error was that I had an extra few blank spaces in wp-config.php… thanks for your help.
