Two identical installs behave differently

  • I installed WordPress 4.0 on two laptops. Both are running Linux. I am using MariaDB, Apache and Firefox on both laptops. They were both installed with yum and manually configured. I have the latest version of PHP. I did a manual installation of WordPress.

    Both installations finished without any problems.

    The problem occurs when I access the Dashboard immediately after the installation and, on both laptops, do:
    Dashboard -> Posts -> All Posts. Then I choose “Hello World!” and then “View”.

    On laptop1 I get what seems to be correct. I see a column on the left and near the top of the column it says “RECENT POSTS” and I see the text of the post.

    On laptop2, doing the same thing, there is no column on the left and I get a very cluttered looking page that does not look coorect.

    Laptop2, my problem laptop, is running Centos 6.5. I tried the above with the nouveau drivers and the nvidia drivers.

    Is there an explanation why my installation on Laptop2 doesn’t appear to work?

    Thank you,
    Joe

    Hi,

    I searched on the codex and it suggested:
    “You need to turn on script debugging. Open wp-config.php and add the following line before “That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging”.
    define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);”

    I tried it and it fixed my problem. Even though it was working I got the message:
    “Headers and client library minor version mismatch in … wp-db.php on line 1409”

    As mentioned in the codex:

    “turn off script debugging and report the issue on the support forum, telling the volunteers the you turned on script debugging and it solved the problem.”

    I am doing the above.
    How do I proceed?
