Hi,
This is an interesting topic – I downloaded WordPress a couple of days ago and also have not been able to get anywhere other than the intial screen the original poster is stuck on too.
My WordPress install is at https://v2.theshoppie.com
I did the following:
* Downloaded the WordPress ZIP, extracted it, etc, as per instructions
* Modified the config file to point to mySQL install
* Visit the “install” link as given in the instructions
* Supplied Site name, email address, etc
* Was given an admin login/password
* Then went to the “login” link as quoted on the page
* supplied the login details given by the install process
* Got taken directly to the page which now shows at my website
It doesn’t matter what I click, or what login details I provide (even invalid ones), I end up back at that same single page.
I haven’t seen an “admin” page/section and have not made any changes to code aside from the adjustments to the config file as required by the instructions.
I’ve also deleted all the WordPress files, redownloaded, reinstalled, and removed the mySQL tables completely and allowed it to reinstall totally – but nothing helps!
WordPress looks like a really great system – I hope I’m going to be able to get it working ??
