 * I won’t be that guy that makes a glaring mistake and won’t own up to it. The 
   error was indeed mine! I filled in “localhost” in my db details in the config
   file. It’s not localhost, it’s something else, and my host was a great help and
   responded to my requests for assistance right away. BTW, if any of you are interested
   it’s MacHighway. So, I’m up and running, and I’m sure to have lots of questions
   in the future.

 * The only thing different that I did over previous installations was this time
   I renamed the “wordpress” directory to “blog.” That really is the only difference
   from previous (and successful) attempts. I then uploaded the directory. Should
   I keep it named “wordpress?”
