  • After you entered all the details to your wp-config.php, and you went to your site, did a setup page come up or nothing at all?

    Nothing at all! just a blank page

    i have checked the php setup by using a simple hello world php page and renamed the index.php page so it wouldnt be lost and named the hello world page as index.php in my blog directory and it works just fine but the wordpress page will not come up

    Can you show us what is present on line 105 of wp-settings.php?

    edit: actually, I can see for myself. Will take a look.

    edit more: hi again, I’m not too sure about this, see here for a previous thread, which may or may not help https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/67726?replies=4

    the post indicates that PHP was installed or updated without the PCRE extensions. does anyone know how i can correct this? i run my own mandriva linux server.

    Don’t know too much about it, so this may not be a great deal of help, but check this: https://au3.php.net/pcre

    Maybe problem with the php installation.. reinstall?

    https://php.net/downloads.php

    Perhaps run some searches on whether the extensions can be installed manually to complete your installation.

    I’m sorry I’m not of more help, but I guess this has bumped you at the very least.

    Thanks nakedape its now up and running i was able to install the PCRE extensions and now all is well

    If you get time, perhaps you could leave some quick instructions/links explaining how you installed the PCRE extensions, so that other people in your situation can use this resource.
