Thank you both. =) I’m not worried about a tutorial, I can work out the theme system np. I just needed the original style. =) I didn’t have it at all, I should have said that. I had some dumb moments during the upgrade.. let’s not go into it. ??

That fixed it, thank you. =)

No. It is not lying. my wp-config.php file has all of the proper information _as if handedited_ only I did it via install-config.php.
The install said it worked, wp-config is properly populated, the problem appears to be in wp-login.php…
any further ideas would be appreciated, thank you. =)
