Step 3 of install gives me no password

  • Okay… After 3 days, I got past the “blank page” syndrome of
    index.php, as discussed here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/2/11775
    Now I merrily go through WordPress setup Step 1, Step 2, and then on Step 3, I get “Step 3” on the screen, and nothing after it. Where’s the password I’m suppose to get? How do I proceed from here?
    I’ve deleted the database multiple times and repeated the same process. Sometimes specifying https://localhost as the WordPress root, and sometims specifying https://localhost/wordpress as teh WordPress root (no difference in the results).
    How do I get through Step 3?

  • In that if statement, try changing:
    $res[0]['Type']
    to:
    $res[0]->Type
    See if you have better luck with the upgrade.

    I had the same problem, blank step #3. I had PHP5 running, so I changed the C:\PHP dir name to C:\PHP5 (rather than deleting it), installed PHP 4.3 from the zip to C;\PHP, changed the LoadModule line in my Apache httpd.conf file to:
    LoadModule php4_module “c:/PHP/php4apache2.dll”
    Then changed in php.ini, the extensions dir to:
    extension_dir = “C:/PHP/extensions/”
    Restarted Apache, and the install went like it should with no problems….

    I experienced this same problem on OS X (Panther) using Marc Liyanage’s PHP 5 package (entropy.ch). I tried his 4.3.6 module insted and that seemed to have fixed the step 3 installation problem. BTW, now I have both versions of PHP installed and can switch back and forth just by editing one line of httpd.conf.
    I’m really looking forward to trying out WordPress.

    I am having a similar problem, however, I am not getting past step 1 of the install.

    System configuration:
    windows xp pro sp2
    I have installed the apache friends xampp server setup 1.5.1
    including apache 2.0.2,
    php 4.4.1, mysql 4.30

    After filling in my weblog title and email address, I click the goto step 2 link, but nothing happens. The tables are created in the database, but the web page never changes.
