white page/ Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage after installing

I still haven’t solved this problem! anyone?

Hi there,

When you installed wordpress (all three times!) what did you enter when it asks you for you blog/website URL? It should be “www.northernwell.se/wp” rather than just “www.northernwell.se” which I imagine would cause this sort of error.

If that’s not the issue, then the next thing I would do is put a random file in the install directory (like an image, or copy the old wordpress index.php to ‘old-index.php’ or something, and create a new index.php) and see if I can access it from my browser. If that works fine, then I know its a problem with wordpress and not the web server.

If it’s a problem with the server then you’ll have to take it up with your web hosting company or sysadmin.

If it’s a problem with wordpress, I’d then start by going into index.php and turning on PHP errors (add the lines:

ini_set(‘display_errors’,1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

to the beginning of your index.php file) to see if PHP was throwing out any errors. If I got some errors that would probably lead me to the answer. Make sure to remove these lines when you’re done!

At that point if I hadn’t found anything I would probably get in touch with my host and ask them if they’ve had any issues with wordpress installs in the past.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.

Hi, thanks very much for your input, much appriciated!

I don’t get a question about where I want to install my blog. these 3 screens are the only ones I see:
page 1

page 2

And where it goes wrong:
page 3

If I put another index file in there, it shows immediatly:
index test I already tried that right away since I had that problem before with this provider, when I put something in the root dir. itself for the first time.

when putting on errors in the index php It shows this page:

errors

Note: I tried wp on 2 differnt domains now, the eu and the se. but give the same problem. (same provider)

By the way, the wp-blog-header.php it’s talking about in the error screen is present…

i seen soemthing that may help

./blog/wp-blog-header.php’

c:\home\kunder\9408\northernwell.se\wp\index.php – where im assuming it is located

location on that error was looking into folder called BLOG when you have it setup for WP

id check the config files in the root directory of WordPress and make sure that they have written the right directorys also

gain access to your WP database to check that it didnt store the wrong location for WordPress

lemme know if this helps

Edited
https://www.northernwell.eu/test/
the folder test works, with HTML

is thiss being run locally?

i also found this
Look in your main index.php file. There should be this:

if ( ! defined(‘E_STRICT’))
{
define(‘E_STRICT’, 2048);
}

check to make sure its there

It looks like your wordpress install thinks its in either

root/wp/blog/

or

root/blog/

It’s strange that it’s not asking you for a site URL (it always asks me for one when I install). Which version of wordpress did you install?

I’m afraid I’m not sure how to edit the site URL in wordpress without using the admin interface (I’d imagine it’s in a config file somewhere). I’m 90% sure that once you’ve got that figured out you’ll be sorted.

By the way, the option is set in a database table. Login with phpMySqlAdmin and go to the wp_options table. Option 1 is the site url. Change that to match your URL and you should be good to go.
