Can’t run 2.0* wp-admin/install.php

  • I’m stumped…

    I can’t upgrade from 1.5 or do a fresh install of WordPress 2.0.*

    When I try to run /wp-admin/install.php Firefox offers to open or dl the .php file, and IE delivers the error “The page cannot be displayed”.

    I increased the php ul memory from 8M to 16M, but still the same result.

    Here is the server info:

    Linux 2.6.11-1 SMP x86_64
    Apache 2.0.54
    PHP 5.0.4 (cli)
    MySQL 5.0.22
    MySQL Client 5.0.22

    Thanks in advance!

  • Have you tried deleting the files and starting again?
    It looks like the files aren’t sending correctly from the server.

    I asked in #wordpress and I’m told that php is not configured correctly because apache doesn’t know what to do with the files so it sends them to the browser and it gives up too.

    An add-handler is needed too apparently.

    (I’m the messenger – I know none of this ?? )

    Blank files being offered for download usually happen when a PHP error occurs and PHP has been configured to hide errors.

    As said above, reupload your files. One or more probably didn’t upload fully.

    If that doesn’t work, edit your .htaccess file and add this to it:

    php_value display_errors on

    Rats, none of that worked.

    I’ve tried clean 2.0.3 installs on a few different domains, old and new on the same server, and added the .htaccess instruction, but with the same result.

    I have no problem at all with 1.5 installs — any additional suggestions as to what might be configured incorrectly?

    Thanks–
