blank install.php

    I modified the wp-config.php with relevant details and uploaded all of the content into the root of my website.
    However when I go to https://www.lozz.com/wp-admin/install.php I get a blank page. Have tried this in multiple browsers from different connections – all the same. Have checked all my settings – all fine.

    I’ve also trawled this forum site and haven’t found a fix for it, other than moving it into a sub-directory.

    Any suggestions?

    (P.S. I’ve found that if I put the wrong SQL server in the wp-config.php, then an error message comes up – so something is alive!)

    I am having the same troule if anyone can help either of us.

    Are you sure your hosting is configured for PHP?

    My host definitely is running PHP, as I am currently running bBlog on the same site. I have also had no troubles with PHP in the past.
    Unfortunately that topic wasn’t relevant. I don’t get a “Page cannot be found”, I just get a blank page with no content. ??

    Today i have also experienced this problem on a new hosting package.

    Php is: 4.4.4
    mysql is: 4.1.21-standard

    When wrong db info is entered i get the cannot connect page, when proper info is entered the page is blank and the code reads;
    ‘
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
    <HTML><HEAD>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content=”text/html; charset=windows-1252″></HEAD>
    <BODY></BODY></HTML>
    ‘

    I just looked at the permission on install.php and its currently set at 644 – is that okay?

    lozzmo, when you get a blank page, it usually means there is a PHP error, but it is being hidden due to the PHP configuration.

    If you have access to the webserver error logs, there error will be listed there. If not, you can try enabling error displaying in your host’s control panel or something.

    Edit: didn’t realise the thread was so old.

    Further to this i have just looked at raw error logs and see the following;
