Installation “Step 2”: (almost) empty site problem

  • Hey Guys,
    Today I tried to install WP 2.7 at bplaced (bplaced.net).

    I configured wp-config and called the install.php.
    Step 1 works, WP asks for the blog’s name and my email adress.
    When clicking “Install”, it proceeds to Step 2, but it only shows the WP-logo and an empty site.
    Here’s this page’s HTML Code:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<title>WordPress &rsaquo; Installation</title>
	<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://streamtec.bplaced.net/blog/wp-admin/css/install.css?ver=20081210' type='text/css' media='all' />
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="logo"><img alt="WordPress" src="images/wordpress-logo.png" /></h1>

    That’s all.
    It seems like PHP stopped execution at a point.

    All Databases have been created, the frontend is shown properly.

    When loggin into Backend (after setting my admin password manually in phpMyAdmin), it shows

    Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$version_checked in /users/streamtec/www/blog/wp-includes/update.php on line 37

Notice: Undefined index: code in /users/streamtec/www/blog/wp-includes/update.php on line 63

    (debugging is enabled in wp-config, I tried to save the config both with ANSI end UTF-8 encoding)

    According to a bplaced.net Statement, installing WordPress 2.7 is no problem. So Memory Allowance should not be the problem.

    I found some other people with this problem (no solutions yet)
    click (german)
    click2

    Alright guys,
    if you need more information, just ask, I hope we can solve this ??

    PS: Did I just overlook it or is there no preview option for the Post? ??

  • SetiRich: Are you sure you copied that URL correctly? install.php should be (and is, actually) in https://gossel.org/rant/wp-admin/install.php. If WP is redirecting to the URL you posted, that is a problem.

    Also, it is interesting that I can browse your directories even though there appear to be index.php files in them. It shouldn’t really work that way. The index.php file should automatically execute. This suggests that your server isn’t configured properly.

    Hi apljdi,

    Yes, I browse files too, which shouldn’t happen. I deleted the directory until I figure out what’s happening here. I’m an extreme newbE with WP, so I’m certain I’m making config errors…most likly because this thing (WP) seems to do best on N*X servers…and all mine are a version of windows. Even though I followed the various cpanel instructions, I think they are aimed at…N*X…eh?

    If all else fails, I’ve got good instructions to put this on my WHS, but I’d rather use a “public” server…rather than my home server.

    Or maybe…I’ll just write some long & strange pages…

    People do seem to have trouble with IIS, but on a hosted server the server configuration, per se, really shouldn’t be your problem. I doubt you even have the ability to configure the server. The only errors you should be making are in wp-config.php. That doesn’t explain the file browsing problem. You need to contact your web host. I wouldn’t worry about anything else until you get that solved.

    I had this problem, but this fixed it:
    from above:

    grab a new wp-includes/update.php
    and upload it

    I got the update.php from a working WP install I had.

    hmm this didn’t quite fix it after all, still getting a 404 error when trying to login.

    Navigate to YOURSITENAME.com/wp-admin/install.php instead of just YOURSITENAME.com/install.php to begin the installation.
    it worked for us.
