Please help – completely deadended
2 possibly connected problems:
1. At this point I have a wordpress folder in my web root but when I connect to wordpress/wp-admin/install.php I get a dialog asking to download or open with Notepad. At some point in the fatigue fogged past I did see a page partially addressing this issue, but hey, that was 300 pages ago.
2. Accessing other wordpress php files produces an error message page: ‘Invalid or missing PDO driver’
I am installing a personal blog on localhost & as such don’t need a huge database.
I am trying to install WP using the PDO-sqlite plugin as per https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/pdo-for-wordpress/installation/ which I think I have right.
I am using Vista, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2
Apache is configured for PHP as a module
php_info() shows:
PDO
PDO support enabled
PDO drivers sqlite2
WordPress V 2.5.1 as specified for this plugin
PHP.ini shows:
extension_dir =”C:\Web\PHP\ext”
[PHP_PDO]
extension=php_pdo.dll
[PHP_SQLITE]
extension=php_sqlite.dll
The PHP\ext folder shows:
php_pdo.dll
php_sqlite.dll
phpinfo() works and shows:
PDO
PDO support enabled
PDO drivers sqlite2
wp-config.php shows:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('DB_TYPE', 'sqlite'); //mysql or sqlite
define('SECRET_KEY', 'Dear Diary, what a day it's been'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
define ('WPLANG', '');
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
I apologise the the length but felt I neeed to provide as much relevent info as possible.
