OK, a step forward and one backwards.

I ran through the installation procedures again and it appears to me that perhaps the install.php file never ran. I think this because: this time when I clicked on it it brought up a promising screen requesting info about configuration. I worked through that and thought maybe it’s fixed.
But no, when I run the install script, I get a whole series of error messages. See them below.
Perhaps someone can, by looking at this, determine what is amiss?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response, K.
There is such a file under WordPress. However, it reads at the moment that it is empty. Should it have content to work?

Hey! It works!
What I did in these last steps (guess I’ll be detailed for the record for other newbies like me):
– downloaded FileZilla to my laptop, which is a fantastic FTP freeware I didn’t know about before (I was using Leech which was recommended by my university. A thirdrate FTP client.)
– created a blank .htaccess file with Dreamweaver and uploaded it
– Used Filezilla’s Server/Raw Command feature to chmod 666 (the command is: chmod 666 .htaccess)

It still didn’t work. So Fruitfly, as per your suggestion I went back and changed the Permalink setting to default. This probably forced it to write something into the .htaccess file and it then worked. And when I change the structure back to a Prettylinks format, it still works!

Can you hear the howl from Virginia!
This is very cool. Three people standing behind my virtual shoulder helping me figure this out. Every one of those comments pointed me to something I needed to figure out/do in order to fix this. It’s my first time, ever, to use a support community and it’s a great experience. Thank you all! With special thanks to FruitFly for the recurring posts.

A round of drinks on me, bartender…..

Well, it seems there is no .htaccess file.
When I go to Dashboard/Manage/Files and click on that file, a message comes up saying no such file. I used Filezilla to check as well, using the command to show hidden files and find nothing.

I am looking in the same directory as the Index file for my site is located. Right?

The documentation says that 1.5 and 2.0 are supposed to create this file upon install, but apparently that didn’t happen.

So what now?

OK, an update. IandD, it appears you’re on the right track. I looked at the Permalinks and there was the URL with a missing /. Fixed that and changed my Permalink structure (I’d not done anything with that before and don’t know how it got set up the way it did).

When I did that, a message came up to edit the .htaccess file. No clue where I need to edit it, but I’ll look for help in the documentation. The comments still don’t work, but at least now a legit URL comes up in the browswer when Comments is clicked. I think I’m close – just need to figure out what to do in the .htaccess file.

Thanks guys, I am elevating my knowledge of WordPress a couple notches through all this…..!

You’re a good detective – I hadn’t noticed.
I’ve checked the options and all is in order there. I’ve also searched my backup copy of my site on my harddrive on that unique key combination, using Google Desktop and Windows search, to no avail.

Thanks very much, Fruitfly, for the response. It’s pretty awesome to get knowledgeable attention just for the asking!
I checked the Index file in themes/class and find the script exactly as you indicate it should be.

As to Options, it is also set as you say, except that there is no forward slash at the end. When I add one, the program deletes it when I save. Guess it doesn’t want one there!

Any other ideas?
