    Hi there.
    I’m sure it’s something really simple that I’m not doing right, but when I bring up the /wp-admin/install.php page, having adjusted the config file and uploaded everything to my bravenet server (which provides full MySQL and php support) using dreamweaver, I get all sorts of errors.

    Here’s a screenshot of what I get:

    Any ideas? The config file is correct – Ive checked it about fifteen times just to be sure. An help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am having the same problems. Php is enabled on my server and I have logged in to WordPress. What else could be the problem?

    Thank you

    Any help that anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.

    from the link it sure looks like php needs to be enabled
    if not, hopefully someone else knows

    I’ll double check it again, Samboll – thankyou for your input.
    If anyone else does have any ideas though I’d love to hear them, just in case.

    Thanks!

    I’ve just spent a few hours going back to zero and starting from reloading WAMp then WP trying to sort this out.

    I am now bald – but I’ve finally sorted it out. `The fail happens when you follow the link as set out in readme.html which starts the

    Installation: Famous 5-minute install

    Item 5: Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. Clicking on this link causes the fail.

    I had to type the full path into a new browser tab e.g. https://domain or localhost/wordpress directory/wp-admin/install.php`

    Yup – I feel a bit stupid now as it seems I was trying to load the install page from my local server rather than from the remote location I should have gone to.

    You hit the nail on the head.
