  • try this in your BROWSER instead
    https://blumoon-design.co.uk/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
    or wherever your install is

    Hi, thanks for reply but doesn’t seem to work. The message is

    Error: PHP is not running
    WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed,
    or PHP is turned

    my webspace I have uploaded the file to is with 1and1.co.uk
    they apparantly are runninf php5 if that makes any sense?

    thanks

    add this to top of .htaccess to get php5
    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    @samuel B:

    That should probably be more like this: 

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

    And that needs to be added to a .htaccess file that is either located in your Web site root directory, or to .htaccess located in your WordPress directory.

    If the .htaccess file doesn’t exist then create it.

    according to 1 and 1 all that’s needed is the one line but the 2nd sure won’t hurt anything and may be needed

    Hi
    Thanks to you both. I have created a .htaccess file with the AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
    and uploaded it to my root directory and also into the WordPress directory but when I click on the install.php file I still get this message
    Error: PHP is not running
    WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.

    If no solution can be found, can you recommend a better server that will run wordpress?

    Thanks, Tim

    talk to host – surely they can enable php or tell you why this message

    Just so you now incase this comes up in the future
    with 1and1.co.uk you have to upgrade to a more expensive hosting package before you can install WordPress as php isn’t available on the standard package

    Thanks
