Blank page when trying install.php

  • I’m having trouble installing wordpress on my new server. I’m kinda new to this, so I might have missed out on something. Anyhow, I’ve done the changes, added password and stuff, and everything seems to be okay, but when I click “It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.” I just get a blank page.

    Do you have any ideas how to solve the problem?

    Thanks alot in advance!!

  • This could be a php memory problem. Try boosting the php memory to 16M and see what happens.

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I have e-mailed my host to increase the PHP memory. Hopefully that the problem. Otherwise I’ll bother you again after the weekend. ??

    Thanks again!

    I some cases ISPs won’t be willing to change this setting. If you’re on a Linux host with Apache and “AllowOverride Options” set for your domain you can add this to your .htaccess file:

    <FilesMatch “\.(php|html?)$”>
    php_value memory_limit 16M
    </FilesMatch>

    You may also try adding this to wp-config.php if the above does not work:

    ini_set ( “memory_limit”, “16M”);

    The issue was indeed this, and my host fixed by increasing the limit to 20M.

    However, now I’m having another problem (I hate beeing a newbie…) When I try to import my wordpress.com blog to the new server I get the message “The uploaded file could not be moved to .”

    Do you know why and how it can be fixed? I did download the plugin needed and activated it, but I still get the message when I try to upload the exported file.

    Thanks again!
