 * Hi Whooami,
    Yes, the wp-config.php file has it’s opening and closing tags where
   they should be. Just to be sure, I did what you suggested, writing a new wp-config.
   php using VIM as my text editor, and it made no difference.
 * Is there any other way to set this up without running the “[in]famous five minute
   install?” 🙂
 * Thanks again.
    Rick

 * Hi Guys, Thanks for your help.
 * Samboll, I did as you suggested, changing the table prefix to wrdp1_ but it didn’t
   do anything different.
 * Whooami, the <?php tag is indeed at the top with nothing above it. I didn’t change
   any of the files after I downloaded them, except for wp-config.php
 * I am running XAMPP, and can run other PHP applications without any problems, 
   so I’m not sure why the file cannot access the PHP interpreter, if that is the
   problem.
 * I would appreciate any other suggestions. Thanks!
 * Rick
