- Maybe you ought to give it another try, and talk with WP Support, they
- are very helpful if something is setup wrong.

- I agree that most UNIX software is not real "install friendly", but since
- we are a reseller organization, we solve this problem by bundling
- installation services with all of our software and this way the customer
- never sees a problem. And the FIRST time you install just about anything
- it proves to be problems. But after a few installs, it becomes very
- easy to look for problem areas.
