 * I keep getting this:
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/
   eclecti2/public_html/wp-admin/install-config.php on line 121 Warning: fclose():
   supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/eclecti2/public_html/
   wp-admin/install-config.php on line 142 Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory
   in /home/eclecti2/public_html/wp-admin/install-config.php on line 143 It seems
   to happen everytime I try to get through the install-config step 2. Can anyone
   help me figure out why? Thanks.

 * Please create the database configuration manually by opening wp-config-sample.
   php, filling in your database connection details, and renaming it wp-config.php.

 * It took me less than five minutes to fix that problem in the code. What’s the
   deal?

 * Who knows? wp-config-install.php is supposed to make things easier – but easier
   than what? Opening and editing a text file? Suggesting that WordPress users are
   incapable of doing that is insulting to our intelligence. Especially since we
   have to do it anyway because the little form doesn’t work. Unnecessary files 
   are bad enough, broken unnecessary files are even worse.
    And even if it’s fixed
   in the CVS, are people supposedly too stupid to edit a text file going to be 
   downloading from CVS anyway? Common sense, guys, please!
