Hello Marc, <BR>
<BR>
I ran the instructions to the letter and got a blank page for my efforts (five minutes my arse!):<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.feedbackmonitor.com/blog/">http://www.feedbackmonitor.com/blog/</A><BR>
<BR>
I went the mysql route as I figured that was the easiest, not really. <BR>
<BR>
When I run install.php, no tables are created. <BR>
<BR>
I asked tera-byte support and got<BR>
<BR>
"You already have a MySQL user (the username is the same as the site admin<BR>
username). You set a password in the MySQL management section of the admin<BR>
site (not in phpMyAdmin), you would create a database there as well (if you<BR>
have not already)."<BR>
<BR>
Am I going the wrong direction here as this is suddenly getting more complex than the five minute install advertised. I am thinking the correct solution must be the simplest, and when things are getting complex, I am on the wrong path. <BR>
<BR>
Am I too vague here?<BR>
<BR>

Ib,
We're helpful Linux users but we can't fix problems by waving our magic
wands -- er.. hands? :-p
We'll likely need more info than that. Point us out to which part of
<A HREF="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress">http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress</A>
you're having a problem with. If you're getting any error messages, that
will be helpful too.
Marc
