The Server OS is Windows 2000. Normally I’d be pretty surprised if it was an OS thing, but PHP and MySQL are new to me. I’ve run Apache for years without problems.
Anyway, I don’t have a problem with commenting out parts of the install script; how else would I learn about PHP and MySQL. I’m a C++ and Python programmer in my day job, so I don’t have a problem with languages.
I have Apache 2.0.52, PHP 4.3.10, MySQL 4.1.8, and WordPress 1.2.2.
I have noticed that other users are posting about problems in step #2, so I tend to think that there is something going on here. For example, another poster says that his Apache 1.3.33 /PHP4.3.10 / MySQL 4.0.22 is failing in step #2 with illegal SQL syntax.
They are not part of a recognized product. The WordPress insall page simply says you need PHP 4.1 or greater and MySQL 3.23 or greater. So I got the latest versions of both PHP, MySQL, and WordPress.
I already had Apache 2.0.52 and it works fine. MySQL seems to be working fine on its own as well.
