Ok great!! Which instant messenger do you have? I can give the info so you can take a look.

To Whom it may concern. I have a similar problem to the person above. I am hosting at Yahoo! The thing is, it almost seems as if I am unable to create a database without installing the my php software. Has anyone set up the php and mysql on a Yahoo! host before. I really need help as I have been trying to figure this out alone by myself for over a week off and on and I am suprememly fustrated. I would be willing to even give out my password info so one of you guys could take a look. Help Pleeeeaaaaasssseeeee! thanks

I have an issue similar to the original poster I believe. I am trying to install wordpress on a website that is being hosted by Yahoo!. I am having a fit installing wordpress and even generating a meaningful error message. If anyone has configured this on a website hosted by Yahoo!, your help would likely be especially useful. I created a database (actually a couple of them) using mysql on the host. I then set up the wp-config.php in the home directory of my domain. I setup the file with the username, host, password, etc info that I believe is correct, yet when i click on run php from the Yahoo console, no matter which file I click on I get an empty screen?! Not even an error message which might be helpful, but just a plain empty screen. What I did then was to add some general php scripts to print out some variables so I would know that it was at least running. I get the following information which may or may not be very useful but it says:
You are running thr file //wp-config.php.

Now there is a possibility that I did some things in the configuration for the MySql database wrong, and I am trying to address that If I did, but I can’t even start being that I get no indication on what might be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this whole process has me befuddled and frustrated and my gut tells me it really shouldn’t be that difficult. Thanks
