All I get is ‘It works!’ after new installation

  • I installed WordPress on Ubuntu Hardy and all I get is ‘It works!’ and can’t see the blog. I can go to wp-admin and make changes and had to create a .htaccess file for the permalink changes (How can I tell of Apache had mod_rewrite?) and have looked all over for something that will tell me what I’ve done wrong. I’ve reinstalled Ubuntu three times (not just for this error) and am getting frustrated…

    What did I miss? How do I fox this?

    Thanks!!!

  • To check whether mod_rewrite is enabled or not, just create a PHP file with following contents:

    <?php
phpinfo();
?>

    Upload this file in your domain and access it via browser. Go to “Loaded Modules ” section in “Apache” category. If you see mod_rewrite in loaded module then it is enabled.

    I got mod_rewrite loaded but am still stumped as to why the blog doesn’t show when I go to the server via the web.

    Any ideas?

    OMG! Nevermind. Adding mod_rewrite actually fixed the issue apparently!

    I’m so happy to finally see it! Thanks Kailash1 for your help!!!
