I have a local server that is setup to operate as www.homeserver.dev, I have PHP 5.3.0 and MySQL mysqlnd 5.0.5-dev - 081106 - $Revision: 1.3.2.27 $. I have placed the /blogs directory, according to the installation guide, in the root. I can access www.homeserver.dev/b2evolutions/blogs/install/index.php and it allows me to do the install, but I get error messages. (I have tried moving just the /blogs directory to the root and the same problem. I have even tried moving all the files in /blogs into the root and the same problem as well. Before the actual screen appears I get this series of messages:

I go through the installation, and it tells me that it installed properly. I checked the MySQL database and all 40 some tables are created in the database I created before the install.

When I try to login after the installation this is all I get on the first page:

When I try to go to the blogs directory after the install I get nothing but error messages. Also I tried to rename sample.htaccess to .htaccess and windows won't allow it.

Can some one help me. I would really like to see b2 working for me.

Thanks
