I downloaded 0.72 and installed it. I get the same results for /wp/wp-admin/wp-install.php as before: ———————————————————— < META http-equiv=Content-Type content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″> ———————————————————— Here are the lines I changed in my wp-config.php (nothing at the end of the file): ———————————————————— define(‘ DB_NAME’, ‘mc’); // The name of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘mcadmin’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxx’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’,‘ localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value ———————————————————— I bet there’s a problem with it connecting to mysql. For fun, here’s how I access mysql, get the stats for the database mc and then try to lookup the wp_posts table: ———————————————————— [bin]$ ./mysql -p –user=mcadmin mc Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor.
