Sry to spam this thread, but I solved my own problem. After ruling out mysql versions, web server conf’s, and php versions, it turns out that the php.ini file made a direct reference to the local sendmail. I had added the line long ago. When I removed it, email still worked “as was” but the wordpress install now completes step2 each time!
Hope this helps someone.
Ok, I take this back. I did perform that step above, but in another system it failed. Step two only produces half the displayed page and never completes writing the database even though it is upgraded. Both had php5.1.2.
Anyone else have ideas?
I had a similar problem on FreeBSD5.4 using the port mysql5 which install mysql 5.0.2 alpha. After upgrading to mysql 5.0.18 things were fine and dandy again.
Try upgrading the mysql as 3.xx is very old.

In reply to: InstallSTEP2: Error establishing db connectionIf you haven’t solved this by now try this:
I noticed that the config-sample.php file has windows control characters in it from the tar.gz file you can download. These will runin the file as its interpretted by php.
When you can see them they look like “^M” at the end of each line.
Use a text editor such as Notepad++ or ultraedit to see them, notepad on windows/wordpad are great at ruining these files by adding the invisible characters. This maybe your problem since you seem to have the other ducks in the rows.
