Installation is not working

  • Hi. I’ve written the correct infos in wp-config.php; then uploaded everything on the web server. From the local folder on my pc, I’ve launched install.php, that’s the message I see
    :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.”); require_once(‘../wp-config.php’); require(‘upgrade-functions.php’); if (isset($_GET[‘step’])) $step = $_GET[‘step’]; else $step = 0; ?> WordPresshide_errors(); $installed = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $tableusers”); if ($installed) die(__(‘
    You appear to already have WordPress installed. If you would like to reinstall please clear your old database files first.
    ‘)); $wpdb->show_errors(); switch($step) { case 0: ?>
    so I don’t know what to do. what are the next steps. I can’t see a random pw and the log in shortcut landed in a page with plain text. Can someone please help me out in this nightmare? Thanks

  • Do you have another version of wordpress or b2 installed already? If so, run the wp-admin/upgrade.php script instead of the wp-admin/install.php

    I don’t have another version installed, yet I get the same problem. I get the entire install page in one shot… SQL commands, error messages, php commands… everything all on one page.

    Is PHP installed on the server ?

    As far as I know… The IT person here installed the latest PHP and MySQL… This happens when I open it through Windows Explorer (or My Computer, or My Network Places… however you want to refer to it). When I open the same directory in IE, I get a “Page Not Found”.

    Okay… just made myself a login…
    Anyway, it’s hard check certain things because I’m not the admin here. I’m just the intern and they have me doing an internal site for them… so I unfortunately can’t even give you the URL to take a look.
    I’m going to see if I can get in touch with the admin later on and find out if there’s anything special I have to do to get this running as well. It might be a permissions issue…
    Also, do I have to manually create the database, or will that be done for me?

    I’m thinking this is some sort of permissions issue… or that the PHP he installed didn’t install correctly. The directory doesn’t seem to be viewable. It’s running on a Windows machine with Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Perl installed. For all intents and purposes, it probably should work… right?

    I’m having the same problem. What should I do?

    bump

    It turns out that my issue was a permissions problem with the server. I spent a couple hours on the phone with the IT admin and got it fixed.
    I have another question now… but I’ll start a new thread for it if I can’t find an existing one.

    i think mine okay already. have to put folder to public_html and enable execute option for install.php file. i think.
