Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the Word Press from the Word press site.
Am I wrong in understanding that the install configures the data base?
I used the 5 minute install as detailed on the WP Codec.
I have checked the data base on the server with a script that Easyspace provide it seems as though it may not have been set up fully for me. I am waiting a response from their technician.
I will wait for the response from ISP and let you know the outcome.
Thanks for your response
