still can’t install

I ran into the same problem! Is there a way to get around this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Did you try the install-config.php? If not, did you try running install.php from your path after changing the wp-config.php by hand?

Yes, I followed the steps: 1. ran wp-admin/install-config.php 2. entered the info about my-sql
3. submit and being directed to the “wp-admin/install.php” 4. got the message
“It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.” message.
If I try runnning install.php, It brings me to a wrong path.
(/wp-admin/wp-admin/install.php)!

Getting the same here.

Have you tried manually creating wp-config.php? That is, open wp-config-sample.php, change the appropriate values, and save it as wp-config.php. Upload, and then try running install.php.

Hi there,
I’ve tried what Cena just proposed. I removed WordPress directory, uncompressed it again and created manually the file wp-config.php
Nothing changes, same problem:
It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.

Out of curiosity, do you have WP tables created in your db? If so, you might try dropping them and starting completely over, with the manually created wp-config.

Hi there,
I do not have any table inside WP database. I don’t have anything at all. In the DB server I only created the WP database and the user.

Hi there,
I’ve seen around many copies of WP 1.0.1, running ones…. I’ve tried to find it somehwere but I didn’t manage. For those who can’t install 1.0.2 (me among others) could it be possible that you upload v1.0.1 to sourceforge in order to let us download it in the meanwhile?
Thanks.

Hi there,
Today’s nightlhy built let’s user to install the program but then when you try to log in for the first time it forwards you to a non existing page… Let’s hope we’ll see a stable version soon ??

I am install WP first time. And got same trouble.
But I successed installed it.
WP Ver 1.0.2
Step 1:
Remark (or deleted) follow code in wp-setting.php :
——————————
$wpdb->hide_errors();
if (!$wpdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM $tableusers LIMIT 1”) && !strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘install.php’)) {
die(“It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.”);
}
$wpdb->show_errors();
——————————
Step 2:
run install.php
(you will get many errors on top of page, but don’t mind it.)
Step 3:
Finish install.php.
You will get a login name and password.
Step 4:
Restore step 1 code.
Step 5:
It’s successed installed. ??
My english is poor, sorry.
Hope this post can help you.

Yep, I had the same problem and independatly cam eup with the same solution. I can verify that it works!

I tried that solution and it utterly fails to do anything different.
I got none of the errors at the top of the screen until I came to the all too familiar
Fatal error: Failed opening required '//wp-settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in //wp-config.php on line 25
Is there, perhaps a generic phpMyAdmin script out there for generating the correct table setup a la PHPNuke?

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/(USERNAME)/public_html/weblog/wp-admin/install.php on line 47
I am getting this error~~ Any solutions?

Is there a solution to this? Its dangerously close to April Fools day.
