I reloaded with a fresh download of WordPress 3.0.1 and still the same error message. Also mad sure the wp-config.php file is in the wp-admin directory.
hmmm
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multisite() in /home/lowell71/public_html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 505
What function is it calling for? Does there need to be anything in the brackets?
