for instance, i did not get an error report when i added the php code to my config file. i sure hope there is a reasonable explanation for all of this, such as my stupidity. are there screenshots of what is supposed to happen when you open the install.php page, or the login.php page after that?

so should i try using 2.0.10?

alright, i added the code in the config file and loaded it back up and then checked my install.php link and i got the same message as before. did i do something wrong?

and yes, the was the post to which i was referring.

Here is a an update and more detail. It seems now that I have succesfully uploaded WordPress. Then I open the Install.php link. I get this:

wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”, “WordPress › Error”); } require_once(‘../wp-config.php’); require_once(‘./upgrade-functions.php’); if (isset($_GET[‘step’])) $step = $_GET[‘step’]; else $step = 0; header( ‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’ ); ?> > text_direction) ) : ?>
WordPress
‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’

‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).’
‘); switch($step) { case 0: ?>

ReadMe documentation at your leisure.’), ‘../readme.html’); ?>

THEN I get two empty text boxes followed by what looks to be a button with:
<?php _e(‘Continue to Second Step >>’); ?>

AND THEN:

ERROR: please type your e-mail address”)); } else if (!is_email($admin_email)) { die(__(“ERROR: the e-mail address isn’t correct”)); } ?>

log in with the username “admin” and password “XXX”.’), ‘../wp-login.php’, $password); ?>

Note that password carefully! It is a random password that was generated just for you. If you lose it, you will have to delete the tables from the database yourself, and re-install WordPress. So to review:’); ?>

admin
wp-login.php (THIS IS A LINK)

I XX’ED OUT THE PASSWORD ABOVE. When I click on the login.php link above I get even crazier stuff. Says the email was wrong, but I have no idea what email they are referring to. Was this some email used to set up the domain on the server being used? If so, I did not set it up, and am trying to install WordPress on a subdomain of a site that is not live yet. But I think my problem occurs before this.

Again, I have a wp-config.php file that has been accurately altered and saved. Any possible help as to what this all means?

I swear that I cannot find it. My ‘Presentation’ link simply brings me to the screen that shows what themes I can use. The links across the top read ‘theme’, ‘theme editor’ and ‘header image and color’. The theme editor goes straight to where I can edit the code, and there is no sidebar widgets screen there.
