    im trying to install WordPress on my site. I’ve set up a database with a MySQL user. I entered in all the correct information to the config file. When i run the install script i get to the first page. Click next. enter in my blog name and email. click next. then it times out and i get a white screen. after running the install and timing out i checked my data base with myPHPAdmin and saw that 10 tables with the wp_ prefix were created so i know the script is accessing my database. Where am i going wrong?

    I’ve seen that same problem several times. WordPress is probably installed completely.

    You’ll need to use one of these methods to reset your password if you don’t get an email with the admin password.

    i’m using the phpMyAdmin method. However, the wp_Users table is empty and i cant browse it. Does this mean the installation got screwed up?

    Yes it does mean it is screwed up. Just drop all the tables that were created and do the install.php again.

    Yes, you can always add the information manually.

    I just want to point out thats normal. Empty tables are unbrowsable, since they’re empty. I know that has nothing to do with anything, but in case you didn’t know. 🙂

    yea i knew that. I stated it to indicated that the table was empty.

    but i think the installation timed out before anything could get done. I can’t access the main page to see a login screen , let alone get denied from one. At this point i am trying to get wordpress to run, then ill worry about getting it to run properly. sooo… back to the original problem. If my data base is set up properly, and i’ve edited the config page properly, why won’t this load.

    Potential hints…
    – database tables do get created <– database is being accessed .: config file is edited properly. Right?
    – time out occurs after i run the first step of the install script. <– i can enter the first 2 pieces of information: my blog name and email.
    – i cannot access the login page to even try to enter in my info so simply editing the users table would be pointless right?

    i didn’t edit the DB_HOST, DB_CHARSET, DB_COLLATE, WPLANG, or ABSPATH variables.

    ok i’ve come to the conclusion that it might be because my server is limiting my PHP memory hardcore…

    i wrote asking them to Up it a bit. Anyone think thats a bad idea?
