h2oeco:

could you give us some more info on your problem ??

Have not re-uploaded the files. Re: hosting, I use Interland/Web.com. Re: more info, since the install process stops on step two, with no errors, this isn’t much info to give. No tables are created in the database.

Thanks.

DesignPastor’s good advice is to try reuploading your WordPress files. Maybe one of the php script files in your wordpress folder(s) is corrupt.

You might try deleting your wordpress files and reuploading.

I have now tried deleting the files, and reuploading, then trying to reinstall, same result…?

then it seems you might want to contact the web host or allow someone here to help you out … some of can be trusted … and you can change usernames after the install ..

Do you have any more specific ideas? I am familiar with the server, etc., but not WordPress. What sort of problem do the “symptoms” suggest?

Thanks.

Maybe database rights/privileges?

Can you access the database with phpMyAdmin?

Yes, everything “looks” OK. The username specified for wordpress to use has “all privileges.”

I have just deleted the wordpress database, recreated it, and added a “test” table via phpMyAdmin. Then, ran the install again, with the same result – no change, no errors.

Thanks.
