 * I am getting the same error.
 * I have just unpacked WP and edited wp-config.php as follows:
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mublog’); // The name of
   the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘$id’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,
   $pw’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t
   need to change this value
 * // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
   
   $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
 * // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-includes/languages. // For example, install 
   de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
 * /* Stop editing */
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.
   php’); ?>
 * I uploaded all the WP files with the correct structure to www/usr/htdocs on the
   host server (PowWeb). When executing wp-admin/install.php via Firefox, the following
   error is shown:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bloginfo() in /www/usr/htdocs/wp-
   includes/wp-db.php on line 304
 * Server config:
    mySQL 4.1.7 Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/
   2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PowWeb/1.1
 * Any help would be appreciated.
