• Hi everyone.

    Just looking for a little guidance.

    I installed WP 2.02 a week ago. Being a dumb ass i forgot to write down the admin password. No proble I thought, since it was a fresh install, I decided to reistall WP again. So I dumped the previous database and started to do a fresh install. After all it only takes 4 minutes.

    Now it won’t let me install it.
    I get an error on install.php?step=2

    ERROR: please type your e-mail address

    Any ideas why?
    I have tried the following with no luck.
    create new database, no luck
    use IE and FF, no luck
    move the WP folder in site, no luck

    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

  • When you say creating new database…are you deleting the old one or what?
    With MyphpAdmin, you should be able to see what’s going on with your database. Sounds like your previous install’s info is still in there.

    Thanks for the replay,

    First I deleted all the tables from the first installation.
    no luck.

    Then I deleted the complete database and created a new one

    the first database was mysite_-_wp

    the second databse was mysite_-_wp2

    I used phpmyadmin and the database has no tables, no data at all.

    Thanks for the link though, good info to have!!!

    Found the answer.
    my problem was with my .htaccess file

    some php_value lines that I had in the .htaccess were conflicting with my mysql database.

    Thanks again samboll for helping
