    Hi

    I just downloaded the latest 2.9 scripts for my website, and unpacked it. I ran the install, and there seemed to be problems in first writing the wp-config.php file to the web server. I wrote it by hand, then re-ran it to view a blank web page. I sense a permission problem here that I don’t know the correct way of resolving. The last time I did this, all files had to get permission “777”, and ownership changed to “nobody.groupname”. The problem this created is that when it came time to remove the blog, I could not delete files owned by “nobody”. I had to get tech support to do it for me instead.

    I use MySQL 5.0.84, provided by my ISP, on a BSD 6.x platform. I have access to my web server account under my own username through ssh. A second problem is does anyone know how to delete any old data in that database so I could start over?

    you might want to check your php.ini to see if you have enough memory. something I just learned that you need a MySQL main and a Back-up under names not given by Mysql. like strider_fits main and strider _fits2 as your backup, check with your host provider.
