Moodle 2.5.4 install problem

Started the manual instal for Moodle 2.5.4, at Dreamhost I am using PHP 5.3
getting this error message:------------------------------

Config table does not contain version, can not continue, sorry.
Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: block_manager has not yet loaded the blocks, to it is too soon to request the information you asked for.
-----------------------------------------------------
Originally, during installation it said server met general requirements, so not sure?

It looked like the installation was going great until there was a lapse then the above message appeared.

I uploaded the Moodle 2.5.4 files using Fetch on my Mac which I have set to see all invisible files so I thought this would work. I am not a command line person. Is this just a database problem and I should delete the database and try a reinstall or should I start completely over by uploading the Moodle 2.5.4 maybe as a zip and then decompressing?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

It is usually best to avoid using the installers offered by hosting providers. Try by downloading the moodle package you require (2.5.4) and install it by hand, just be sure to create, beforehand, the moodle database and the moodledata directory.
