[FX.php List] [OFF] Anyone Fluent with setting up Wordpress?

[Bob Patin]

Hi,

Thanks for the response; I never could get this one web server to let  
me create a database.

On another web server though, it was almost instant; I added a  
database, added another blog, and was on my way.

Now that i've spent far too much time on my blog, I know a whole lot  
more about it than I previously did.

One other thing though: when I update to 2.7, which I've tried to do 3  
or 4 times, the blog works, but admin doesn't; I get an error when I  
try to go to admin... I get the same error when I try to go to 2.6  
(I'm on 2.3.1 right now).

So I'm stuck in 2.3 for the present.

I tried deleting all of the WP files, started clean, same error.

What version of WordPress are you using? Did you have any trouble  
updating to 2.7 if you're using it?

Thanks,

Bob Patin
