Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installation failure: admin password doesn’t workI have resolved this issue. It turns out to have nothing to do with WordPress. The problem was that the host server was blocking email sending as a security measure. I took it up with the server admin, and they fixed it for me. So now I can login.

In reply to: Installation failure: admin password doesn’t workIt does support these requirements. I wonder if the problem has to do with emailing from the site. That is, the WP program provides for emailing to users (e.g. lost passwords). How does it do that? How does WP on my host send emails? Could it be that this is what isn’t working?????

In reply to: Installation failure: admin password doesn’t workThe only thing I can think of to do is to uninstall it and try again, maybe with an earlier version of WP?

In reply to: Installation failure: admin password doesn’t workNo, the page does not allow me to set up a password, it only allows me to input the name of the blog, and my email. Presumably it should either then ask me to input a password, generate one for me, or email me a password. It does none of these.
I’ve tried this with Firefox and IE. No difference.
Could it have anything to do with this, on the config.php document:
** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);I have made no changes here.

In reply to: Installation failure: admin password doesn’t workI have done this twice. No change. The password I put in wp-config.php is the password required for connection to the database. This works fine. The problem is that the install.php is not generating a blog password for me, as the documentation says it should. It’s putting tables into the database, but not telling me what my admin password is.
