 * I fixed the problem although now I have more. I removed the username and password
   I had created for the wordpress database and used root with no password. I don’t
   understand why this would work as I had assigned the ‘blog_user’ all permissions
   that I could with the mysqlcc admin tool. Anyways, now it crashes on step 3. 
   I am going to reinstall mysql and try again.

 * I’m having the same problem on an install on windows server 2003 with mysql 3.23.49
   and php 4.3.3. It was all groovy until step 3 and then lockup. I’m not using 
   Apache but IIS 6.0. It totally crashed my server. I also had issues with connecting
   to the database before step 1. I wonder if mysql is installed wrong. I can access
   it through other scripts on the same web site and create and manipulate data 
   just fine.

 * `define('DB_PASSWORD', 'blog_password'); `is the MySQL password. I don’t have
   a blog password because I can’t get it to install. I am not on a shared server.
   Its dedicated and I have complete access. The file fragment above is a copy of
   my actual wp-config.php.
