 * Trying to install the WorldPress, I seem to be getting the same error over and
   over again. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but I really know nothing about
   these things. I would really appreciate your help!
 * This is the error that I keep getting:
 * hide_errors(); $installed = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users”);
   if ($installed) die(__(‘
    Already Installed You appear to have already installed
   WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.
 * ‘)); $wpdb->show_errors(); switch($step) { case 0: ?>
    Welcome to WordPress installation.
   We’re now going to go through a few steps to get you up and running with the
   latest in personal publishing platforms. You may want to peruse the ReadMe documentation
   at your leisure.
 * Thank you!

 * It looks like either PHP isn’t running on your server, isn’t installed at all,
   or isn’t configured properly.

 * It could also has something with the domain name. Have you transferred the domain
   to another web host before you installed WP? Please mail me at s.moelle(at)frisurf.
