Installation Problems: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bloginfo()

  • I have uploaded and deleted everything to the web server several times, so I know everything is there. I am using version 1.5.1.

    I get the php error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bloginfo() <snipped path>wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 304. I checked out the file wp-db.php and don’t understand what could be the problem.

    It might be good to note that I am installing in a subdomain, if that could make any difference.

  • Two things seem to make that error happen (at least for me…) First as stated before, the db needs to be made prior to running the install, secondly the user needs to be set also (in the db).

    I’ve been fighting that error code all morning attempting to set up WP on my desktop computer so I can play with it and not my domain’s settings (which I have WP up and running on but just bare bones). (btw I want to set up coppermine if any tips can be offered I’d appreciate it)

    My current (offline) setup is using EasyPHP 1.8 which placed a mysql/apache/php/phpmyadmin system up and finally got mysql to work properly… but it took getting the user name placed into mysql prior to running the install to have WP run without the error…

    I just went through this whole thread when I finally realized I hadn’t done the add user to db button in MySQL Account Maintenance in cPanel (the step before PHP MyAdmin if you have cPanel.

    I hope that helps. Watch out for that obvious stuff! I completely overlooked it.

    I get a similiar get_bloginfo error but it does not occur in the same place I have seen others post:

    Call to undefined function: get_bloginfo() in
    /var/www/html/rezl/wp-login.php on line 9

    My config file looks like this:

    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘supercriminals_com_-_b22’);
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘supercrimi’);
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘********’);
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    I’m running phpMyAdmin 2.6.0 & MySQL 3.23.58
    I created a seperate database manually and I can see all the tables wordpress has created, it just doesn’t get me past the login screen. The user/password is the root access combo and already works with my b2 blog, but not WP. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated!

    UPDATE: I deleted wordpress from my website and reinstalled WordPress 1.5 and it worked! After that I just followed the upgrade (very simple because I could skip the backup steps) intructions to 2.0 and it worked too!
    I would recommend to anyone that has this problem delete & reinstall the newest version of wordpress or an older version if that doesn’t work.
