 * Hey anonymous,
    This is the answer I’ve been looking for! Thanks! — I didn’t 
   click add user to database button! Now, the install.php is running! Yes! Thanks
   also to dpstk for posting this problem. 🙂

 * I already created a mysql database and uploaded the files, but when i try to 
   run install.php, there’s an error message:
    ** We’re having a little trouble 
   selecting the proper database for WordPress. Are you sure it exists? Your database
   name is currently specified as username_blog. Is this correct? On some systems
   the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like
   username_wordpress. Could that be the problem? *** username_blog is indeed my
   database but wordpress can’t seem to recognize it. is there a step i missed like
   connecting the database to the wordpress folder?

 * Thanks podz. I think I might prefer uploading 1.2 rather than upgrading (although
   I may try the latter, if it’s easier.).
    So how do I exactly upload? To which
   directory should I upload? In the readme file of 1.2, it says to modify the wp-
   config-sample file and save it as wp-config — which details should I modify? 
   Do I need to modify the file even if I haven’t installed wordpress or a wordpress
   database yet?

 * Hi,
    Similar question. How do I install my blog so that my blog is my home page—
   that is when I click mydomain.com my blog will appear without redirecting to 
   e.g. mydomain.com/blog — that is, the URL stays mydomain.com ? Thanks. 🙂
