Problem with installation

  • Hi I have just built a centos5.3 server and installed PHP5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 I also have Mysql-5.0.77-3.elf and php-mysql-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3.

    I have created the database as per the handy instructions and when I try and go to https://127.0.0.1/blog/wp-admin/install.php I recieve the following error.

    >
    WordPress

    ERROR: %s’), $error); ?>

    checked=”checked” />

    ‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’

    ‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).’
    ‘);} switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // in case people are directly linking to this display_header(); ?>

    ReadMe documentation at your leisure. Otherwise, just fill in the information below and you’ll be on your way to using the most extendable and powerful personal publishing platform in the world.’), ‘../readme.html’); ?>

    error) ) wp_die($wpdb->error->get_error_message()); display_header(); // Fill in the data we gathered $weblog_title = isset($_POST[‘weblog_title’]) ? stripslashes($_POST[‘weblog_title’]) : ”; $admin_email = isset($_POST[‘admin_email’]) ? stripslashes($_POST[‘admin_email’]) : ”; $public = isset($_POST[‘blog_public’]) ? (int) $_POST[‘blog_public’] : 0; // check e-mail address $error = false; if (empty($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __(‘you must provide an e-mail address.’) ); $error = true; } else if (!is_email($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __(‘that isn’t a valid e-mail address. E-mail addresses look like: [email protected]’) ); $error = true; } if ( $error === false ) { $wpdb->show_errors(); $result = wp_install($weblog_title, ‘admin’, $admin_email, $public); extract($result, EXTR_SKIP); ?>

    admin
    ‘. $password .’
    ‘; } echo ‘

    ‘. $password_message .’
    ‘; ?>

    It says its already installed but I dont get how this is a all possible. What am I suppose to do?

    Thanks

  • PHP isn’t being parsed properly. Centos is a linux flavor so I’m assuming the actual web-server is Apache. If so, look into the the DirectoryIndex directive. You should have, in your httpd.conf, a line that reads DirectoryIndex index.php index.html but by default it does not have the index.php in it.

    apljdi,

    Thanks for the reply I created a test.php file and ran it and phpinfo showed PHP is working. I also double checked the directive and all that info for index.php was in there.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks again

    Maybe you just have a corrupt file. Have you tried installing clean copies from a new download?

    Also make sure you have LoadModule dir_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_dir.so in your httpd.conf (path may be different), and make sure you actually do have that module on the system.
