 * Gosh, I hope there are some people out there who can help with this problem! 
   I attempted to install WP 2.6 today, following the instructions in the World 
   Famous 5-Minute Installation Guide, but it failed miserably. Anyway, after opening
   the “/wp-admin/install.php” file in my browser, I received the following error
   message –
 * > Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/6/d250633475/
   > htdocs/wp-settings.php on line 212
 * During a semi-thorough search of this support forum, I discovered that many others
   have received this error during installation of plug-ins.
 * Anyway, does anyone have any counsel to give? I strongly suspect the reason it
   screwed up is because I failed to correctly enter the database information correctly,
   or because of something else I did incorrectly. Thank you so very much in advance
   for your assistance!

 * I think I’ve solved the above issue – but now I have a new one. (Seriously, sometimes
   I don’t think I should be allowed to leave the house without an escort!)

 * Again, any help I can get will be rewarded with double karma points because you’re
   such an awesome and selfless person!
