    I hesitated looking for help, but try as I might, I can’t get going. Followed the instructions precisely, with all revisions made to my wp-config.php file. Even completley deleted the entire upload, starting again…
    Upon pointing to install.php, I receive the following:
    “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.”
    Assuming an error in my wp-config.php as in incorrect host definition, I removed the file all together, and ran install again, and got the interactive wp-config.php file builder. Entered correct DB name, user name, pass, host…
    Upon submission, receive the message: Error establishing a database connection.
    MySQL db is version 4.1
    My hosting is Windows…. is that the problem?
    Suggestions?
