I am running into the same problem.
System specs:
-Windows 2008 Server (standard), complete installation
-PHP 5.2.5 non-threat-safe
-FastCGI to run PHP
-MySQL 5.0.45
I haven’t solved it yet. But what does work a little bit, is:
– to install WP somewhere where the installation doesn’t endup in missery.
– Then backup the database (keep it as clean as possible)
– Restore the tables into the database you wish to use
– Now open the index.php in you browser and it should work.
This is not perfect, some friends were complaining about errors they receives (couldn’t open pages etc.)
I think this indicates that the install process of WordPress 2.3.2 is not able to create tables in the database.
Hope any one has a sollution for this matter??!!
