Thank you moshu.
O.K. I didn’t think that I could set up the database without knowing the schema etc?
In wp-config.php I set up the DB_NAME to ‘pensfor’.
I have been using HTML and ASP and MS-Sql for 3 years but I’m new to PHP and MySql . I will give it a try.

I am also having problems getting past first base on installation.

I am using Windows2000 and WAMPS as my local working environment. I have unzipped WordPress into the same directory alongside the WAMPs services Apache, MySQL, PHP, WWW and tmp directories. I have

I have created a copy of wp-config-sample.php and saved it in WordPress as wp-config.php ( I can see it ).

To run the install I use Firefox.

I select File from the top menu and then OpenFile and then select wp-admin\install and immeadiately get 2 error reports .
Top line says need wp-config.php file.
Half way down I get the message ” Already Installed”. I have checked and can’t find an installed copy of WordPress.

Finally I have not set up a MySQL database to hold WordPress yet as I thought that this was what the instal would do?

Help!
