I read the xampp thing but it doesn’t really apply because I use phpdev (and have done for the past couple of years). Though no great expert, I’m no novice with working with PHP, Apache and MySQL either but this has me baffled. Everything looks right to me.
Oh, I should mention that I’m trying to install 1.5.1.2

Sorry about that triple posting. I don’t see a delete button. I’ll take a look at that turorial. Thanks.

Blimey, that was a quick response. No, not blank – I got the message stating that the installation was adding tables to the database (which it seems to have done) but it stayed on that same page for about as long as it took for me to make a cup of tea. ??
I’ve tested it three times now and always get stuck at the same point.

I’ve just noticed this does the same thing when someone registers. The page just hangs there. Feel free to try it out (but ignore the text – that was just me playing silly buggers).

A whole bunch of super-helpful people. Thanks, folks. ??

Yes, I can see the potential for problems – like if poster/poster was ten people trying to post at the same time. Perhaps I’d better go the registration route after all. Thanks, podz. ??

That was me again.

That’s me, by the way.

Someone else’s blog? LOL ??

You star! ?? Thanks loads.

That’s me – not Anonymous.

Oh, and I just tried this

and it made no difference. Still can’t log in.
So near and yet so far…
