Installation problem: config.php not verifying

This is my first time installing Textpattern. I’ve setup a local test server using XAMPPlite and now I’m installing Textpattern onto it. The installation has been working fine, until step 3 where it asks me to create the config.php file in the /textpattern/ directory.

I’m following along the ‘detailed installation instructions’ on the textbook part of the textpattern site, and it told me to rename the file ‘config-dist.php’ to ‘config.php’ and paste the contents, which I did, and then saved it into the same place – so I know it’s in the right spot. After that didn’t work, I tried just making a PHP file and putting the content in, that didn’t work either… here’s the contents that I’m pasting:

<?php
$txpcfg[‘db’] = ‘textpattern’;
$txpcfg[‘user’] = ‘root’;
$txpcfg[‘pass’] = ‘mypasswordgoeshere’;
$txpcfg[‘host’] = ‘localhost’;
$txpcfg[‘table_prefix’] = ‘’;
$txpcfg[‘txpath’] = ‘C:\xampplite\htdocs\textpattern\textpattern’;
$txpcfg[‘dbcharset’] = ‘utf8’;
?>

Every time I click ‘I did it’, it just reloads the same page and tells me ‘Before you proceed, Create a file called config.php…’

The only thing that I can think of is because it’s a test server, the path is on my HDD and thus the slashes go the other way… idno I’m really confused as to what I could be doing wrong here…

Any help is a appreciated.

Re: Installation problem: config.php not verifying

Ah, nevermind. I had multiple windows open and I accidentally created the file in the local directory, not the test server.
