Speedy for some things.
Simply don’t respond to others.

Again, I could not find the details, but I vaguely recall that someone mentioned that the newer versions of mysql and/or php were incompatible with wp 1.5.2

Am I hosed until a newer version of WP is available? I certainly do NOT want to revert to earlier versions of mysql and php.

Right now, this server is a standby unit. My firewall/router points http requests to my primary server, so my testing of WordPress thus far has been simply pointing the local browser directly at the wp directory (as specified by httpd.conf). “https://wp-admin/install.php”

No redirects, no plugins, no other files in that directory.

BTW, the browser is Mozilla Firefox under FC4 Linux.

I downloaded the tarball about a month ago, but could not recall from where exactly.
So, I have deleted everything, downloaded the gzipped tarball from this site, and began the prosess all over again as detailed in the readme file.

The result is the same.
