Thanks for the information, Keith. I found out what the trouble was. I was following directions in which I was told to manually change the wp-config.php file first, then do the 5-minute install. Every other set of instructions I found did not have the manual reconfiguration. When I eliminated that, the install went fine. Appreciate the help.

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying keep the current name of my db and make the change to the password? How do I put NO password. Do I simply delete everything between the marks (as in changing ‘root’ to ”), or is there another way to do it?
