Installation Error – browser can’t find wp-admin/install.php

  • Hello,

    This is my first time trying to install WordPress. I have followed the detailed installation instructions, but when I get to the final step and type https://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php into my web browser, I get this error message:

    The page cannot be found
    The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

    Please help!

    Hello. I just talked to my hosting provider and they said they would move me to a newer server. Hopefully that will work. I’ll be back if it doesn’t.

    First time trying WordPress and I get the same problem using Apache on Linux. It’s not that the page isn’t found it’s just that no response is sent when you try adn view the page. IE makes this looks like the page isn’t found.

    Anyway looking at teh apache logs seems to reveal the problem.

    This error message appears:
    Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes) in /home/surfing_monkey/public_html
    /wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade-schema.php on line 322

    So it seems that WordPress is a real memory hog and wants more than a default apache/php install allows (or atleast mine).

    So if you edit the php.ini file found on linux in the /etc directory and chane the memory limit.
    Mine said:

    memory_limit = 8M

    and

    I change it to:

    memory_limit = 10M

    Now it seems to atleast make somthing appear when I go to the install.php page.

    Hope that helps someone.

    I am having the same problem. When I try to run the install I get this page cannot be found. Any suggestions? I also am using godaddy as a host.

    aprilr,

    Have you tried my suggestion above yor post, increasing the amount of RAM php is limited to.

    Dan

    If you are hosted by a company and if the file is there and WP cannot see it and you have done everything….

    It’s not solvable.

    Dan5 I am not using linux. I couldn’t find that file
