Setup problem--config.php

I am having trouble with setup.

I have copied the code provided into a config.php file and it is located in the textpattern directory as instructed. When I click on “I did it” it just returns me to the same instruction over and over.

I have already deleted all files and started over twice.
I have tried removing the .default from the config.php file and resaving it as suggested in the detailed installation instructions. I have also tried using a new file and deleting the config.php.default file; again as suggested in the detailed instructions.

I have verified that all the info in the copied code is correct and complete.

I use the ftp provided with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004.

Please help.

Thanks,
dks

Re: Setup problem--config.php

Are you absolutly sure that the config.php that is in the server-side is the one you have modified according the instructions?

I would delete the config.php in the server, and upload a config.php that has been modified in your computer.

Maybe you are trying to modify it directly in the server-side (I would bet that Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 has a feature to edit files directly in the FTP) and maybe that doesnt work.

Thanks for your speedy reply.

Although you are correct that files may be edited on the server side, I am certain that the one that is there now was created and modified on my computer. I deleted the remote file and uploaded it again to be sure.

I’ve even turned off my virus and firewall just in case they were some how conflicting.

Re: Setup problem--config.php

Resolved!

The problem was in Dreamweaver. I am far more familiar with 3.2 than I am MX. The file I was creating was an html file rather than php. When I opened the file directly from my server’s file manager, I discovered extraneous html code in the file. Deleting this and pasting the provided code took care of the problem.

Thanks again for the speedy reply.
