I fixed the problem. I switched my XAMPP bundle from Apache2Triad Edge (1.5.3) to Stable (1.4.3). This has Apache2.0 PHP4 MySQL4 instead of Apache2.1 PHP5 MySQL5.
My WP install is working out of the box now. I’m not sure why WP chokes on PHP5 MySQL5 – probably should be on the dev team’s radar…
I’m facing the same problem on WP 1.5.2, mysql 4.1.3, php 5.0.2, Apache 2.047 on windows XP sp2.
Have you resolved this?
I’m facing the same issue. I just downloaded and installed WP, and although I can see the default ‘uncategorized’ post, I cannot edit it. When I try to create a new post and click on Publish, the post form reloads with all the fields blanked out.
Goro- how did you manage to fix this problem?
