 * Hi,
 * I have tried installing WordPress twice… creating a new database, username and
   password each time to make sure I was doing it correctly. I even copy and pasted
   the data in the wp-config.php file to make sure I did not make any typos.
 * Below is the first part of the huge error page that was created. The weird part
   was at the end… it said “Finished” and a password was created and emailed to 
   me… but none of the tables were created in the database.
 * Please Help…
 * Thanks,
 * Doug
 * ERRORS:
 * Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /home/
   money/public_html/b/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 326
 * [Moderated – Error repeats forever]

 * Are you installing onto a Windows or Linux server ?
    Who is your host ?

 * Linux.
 * I have my own server (@ev1-server.net) running PHP Version 4.3.10 and MySQL version
   4.0.22-standard.
 * I install scripts and create databases all the time… and usually do not have 
   any problems. This is baffling me 🙁
 * Thanks,
 * Doug

 * Thanks guys… and thank-you for the effective question link . I will try to be
   a better poster 🙂
 * I have followed all those links and tried everything, but still cannot figure
   out how to install Word Press correctly. I keep getting the same errors. I am
   going to hire a php programmer and see if he can install it for me.
 * Much apopreciated,
 * Doug
