      hello,

      Just installed 3.0 and ran across a problem when entering the password for my database. I found two errors:

      if the password had > in it, the password would get truncated. also, if the password had double quotes in it, that would also screw up the password. It didn't seem to have a problem connecting to the database with the dbl quotes, but when it generated the config file, the password field was blank.

      with the > sign, it seemed to be treating that as a closing html bracket since part of my password appeared on the next page where it did not belong.
