I fixed the problem although now I have more. I removed the username and password I had created for the wordpress database and used root with no password. I don’t understand why this would work as I had assigned the ‘blog_user’ all permissions that I could with the mysqlcc admin tool. Anyways, now it crashes on step 3. I am going to reinstall mysql and try again.

I’m having the same problem on an install on windows server 2003 with mysql 3.23.49 and php 4.3.3. It was all groovy until step 3 and then lockup. I’m not using Apache but IIS 6.0. It totally crashed my server. I also had issues with connecting to the database before step 1. I wonder if mysql is installed wrong. I can access it through other scripts on the same web site and create and manipulate data just fine.

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'blog_password'); is the MySQL password. I don’t have a blog password because I can’t get it to install. I am not on a shared server. Its dedicated and I have complete access. The file fragment above is a copy of my actual wp-config.php.
