• //message received when I try is

    “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”

    // when I try to create a wp-config.php file through a web interface I get

    “Sorry, I can’t write to the directory. You’ll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually.”

    I am on OSX 10.4 using safari/firefox. I am very confused. I moved the files from / to my public .html folder to accesss them with a browser.

    please help me.. I will share my cookies with you.

  • You can always create/edit a wp-config.php file on your computer and upload it to your server.

    Thanks, however the problem is that I can’t access it. It’s there, I can see it, I can’t access it though.

    Contact install4free and let them have a peek.

    I’ve RESOLVED THE INTITIAL PROBLEM and been emailed my password and login. When i click on the link to log into my recently formed blog however I gert the following error message..

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/kristian/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php on line 3

    “RESOLVED THE INTITIAL PROBLEM “

    Don’t get snippy or sarcastic and don’t shout – we’ve seen your new post. Sometimes you don’t get instant answers.
    What have you tried to resolve it?
    Have you uploaded a fresh copy of the contents of your wp-admin folder. It may be as simple as a corrupted file.
    Be patient. Someone who has experienced this may come along soon.

    As Samboll said. Additionally, make sure you have an uncorrupted wp-l10n.php in the wp-includes folder: the function named in the error message is in that file.

    Please excuse my caps Samboll. I wasn’t aiming for “snippy or sarcastic”, just trying to deter people from wasting their time trying to help me solve what’s been sorted. “In english” referred to my jibberish btw – not your jargon.

    Additionally, I wasn’t sure where to upload everyting to so I put it in my public_html folder – was that correct or will it cause me problems.

    According to the error message your WP files are NOT in the public_html (also knows as “root”) folder, but a subfolder named “wordpress”:

    What did you upload “additionally” in the public_html folder?

    I put the entire wordpress folder into public_html.

    I’ve re-uploaded both index.php and wp-l10n.php

    I am having the same problem the first part. I use local machine. I installed everything fine (after creating the file via browser).

    When I use Opera, It doesn’t let me view the site. However, I am able to use admin side. The error is;

    “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”

    But If I use Firefox and IE, I can view the site OK.

    Interesting, I solved that problem by finding my MySql information on the site and correcting install.php to correspond – don’t get that message anymore.

    Unfortunately the problem I’m having now isn’t browser specific.

    It seems to be cleared now. Maybe it was just pciking from cache. I also re-installed the SW.

    i can’t log in with username admin and the password i received
    the error is : invalid username
    why?
    tnx for any answers ??

    Having the same problem here. The odd thing is, I did nothing to the blog other than post for the past few weeks. All of a sudden I went to log in and bam I was hit with the fatal error message.

    The message can be viewed here.

    I’ve uploaded clean files to overwrite the old ones and it changes nothing. Now I can’t post or get anywhere close to the dashboard.
