Having a hard time with Wordpress

[Big Dan]

Hey Guys,

I've run into a very peculiar issue with wordpress twice on two different hosts. I'm doing a fresh install of WP and it's extremely slow. Now, I cannot even login to the admin panel with the admin password and given password. It says 'invalid username', which is wrong because looking in the database I see it's table. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

Update here's an error from cPanel's log:

The files are indeed there I've overwritten them many many times.

Still having this problem I see. Do you want another server to simply test it out on?

[Big Dan]

I was testing it out my brand spanking new VPS. vBulletin runs great so it cannot my php or mySQL.

I just don't get it WP has always been one of the easiest apps to roll out.

Could it be the version of php or mysql being run?

So, Wordpress doesn't work with php5? I believe on this server it is and does.

Perhaps it's a configuration issue but the same exact thing happened on two cPanel servers. I soon as I set the account to php4, WP installed with and is running now without problems.

Real weird, cPanel says ours is "PHP version 5.2.5" maybe it's a combination of settings causing it then as it's not happening here: webtalkforums.com

Maybe I should upgrade our Worpdress installation and then see if we have the same issue.
