wordpress1.2.1 install error

  • first, when I install wordpress1.2.1, in step1 to step3, there are many lines of database errors on the page, it says table wp_options can not been found. I checked the file install.php, and guess the install script is checking if there is an old version product installed. And the process can continue to step4. In step4, it looks fine, no error info now, and it says success.
    then I was redirected to the login page, after I input the right user name and the password, I just got an empty page. Then I refer to index.php my wordpress installation, it gives the following response, it looks that the page is not load properly.

      I didn’t change anything, it’s just a basic installation. Maybe you can save and check the above code to see what’s wrong.

      I am using the latest version 1.2.1

      I have checked this, it is exactly like this.

      @import url( <?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-layout.css );

      some addtionals: I have installed version 1.2 of wordpress, it runs fine. Although during the installation I got the database error message too. When I install version 1.2, I use the db name of wordpress. Then I created another db named wordpress2 for my version 1.2.1 installation. I changed my IIS virtual directory to new folder where version 1.2.1 is in. Then I start the installation and got the wrong result as I described in the original post.
      So I actually have two questions:
      1) Is the database error info common? Because the installation process can cotinue and my version 1.2 runs fine.
      2) What’s likely the cause of the error of css path that TG has mentioned?

      the database error info is like this:
      Database error: [Table ‘wordpress4.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
      SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options
      And these two lines repeated many time and at the button of the page was the right words and the link to next step. like this https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php?step=1
      In step 3, it ask me the address of my installation, I enter https://localhost/wordpress/. I don’t know what’s this for really.

      I just found another thread that looks like same to my problem. https://www.ads-software.com/support/2/14338
      and some additions: after the installation, my first login redirect my to this url
      https://localhost/wp-login.php?redirect_to=, and result in an empty page.
      I am just test wordpress on my local machine. And I am doing new installation, not a upgrade.
