In reply to: database column changes, 1.5x to 2.1thanks. Actually, this helped:
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Upgrading_WordPress#Step_1:_Backup_Database_Tables_and_Files_including_.htaccessThat is, the above link is to the wordpress page containing instructions for using the upgrade tool that comes with version 2.1. The tool handles upgrading both front and back ends of earlier versions of wordpress to version 2.1. Rather nicely, I might add.

In reply to: blank pagehmmm, is it this (from http://craniata.net/phpinfo.php):
‘–with-mysql=shared,/usr’ ?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: blank pagenope, that didn’t work. created database, made sure config.php had correct entries (tried both ‘localhost’ and the server’s actual name), ran install.php.
http://craniata.net/wordpress still returns a blank page, containing only:
<html><body></body></html>Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: blank pagethanks, i’ll try that
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: blank pageok, thanks. I’m still stuck, though. I’m here in the ‘5 minute install’ instructions:
“That’s it! At the end of the installation it will give you a login and a random password. The password is random, so be sure to write it down or at least copy and paste it. Once you’re logged in you can change the password.”
What is the ‘it’ referred to in the preceding paragraph? Should I have visited my site in a web browser? If so, I did, and it was blank.
If WordPress requires that I set up a database, is there documentation as to fields/data types, etc.? Should I have created a blank database first, and then run install.php?
thanks,

In reply to: blank pageanother detail: this works… http://craniata.net/phpinfo.php

In reply to: blank pagehttp://craniata.net/wordpress
more details that might be helpful:
–php and mysql are installed and working, and versions are correct.
–box is a rh9 box.
–mysql says database doesn’t exist — doesn’t install.php create the database? wp-config.php has correct database/user name.
–apache is working, but does a php-apache module need to be installed? How would I tell, if needed, if this has been done?
thanks,
