Thanks for the tips. At least I have a starting point now instead of floundering around.

Thanks for responding so fast CrouchingBruin. My mistake then. I thought it was part of the header. Not knowing very much about WP yet where would I go to study up on configguring the body?

Resolved, evidently when modifying files and saving them under different names such as modifying wp-config-sample.php and then saving it as wp-config.php you have to run Windows Explorer as an Administrator.

Sorry,

it should read:

wp is in c:\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\wordpress

I am having the same problem installing on personal pc.

Running:

OS: vista
xampp v.win32-1.7.4 with Apache and mySql running.
wp v. 3.2.1

When I type:

https://localhost/mywebsite/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

I get the following error message:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in C:\xampp\htdocs\northpolebookworm\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 11”

file.php line # 11 reads:
“‘index.php’ => __( ‘Main Index Template’ ),”

xampp is in c:\xampp
website is c:\xampp\htdocs\”mywebsite”(without quotes)
wp-config.php is in c:\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\
wp is in c:\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\htdocs
file.php is in c:\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\
