installation issues with wp-config.php

Everything appears to be working except that I cannot access the blog index page.

Install WP: success
Create DB tables: success
Log in as administrator: success
Write test post: success

I cannot click on any link to view the blog page or access directly.

Any attempts lead to the “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file.”

I have:

– created the wp-config thru the web interface and manually
– verified the paths, CHMODs and folder integrity
– deleted and recreated the DBs using the web interface and phpmyadmin

Whenever I click the web interface. the next page begins “The file ‘wp-config.php’ already exists.”

I’ve deleted the DB via phpmyadmin, then click “try installing again”.

First and second installation steps are successful; and I log in without issues, but I still cannot click on any links to view site.

In addition, I have re-downloaded and re-installed the files via FTP, but the problem still occurs.

I also tried changing:

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’); creates:
Fatal error: Failed opening required ‘//wp-settings.php’ (include_path=”) in //wp-config.php on line 19

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__)); creates:
Fatal error: Failed opening required ‘/wp-settings.php’ (include_path=”) in //wp-config.php on line 19

In the wp-config.php, I have changed the line: define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);

to

define(‘ABSPATH’,’/home/taktikz/public_html/blog/’);

and

define(‘ABSPATH’,’/home/taktikz/public_html/blog’.’/’);

Both changes gets me pass the errors and lead to the “Already installed” screen.

I’m right back where I started.

Any assistance is appreciated.
