Hi Tim S,

Sorry that I am not good at computing so my description on the issue would be confusing… I supposed I did point my domain to the hosting account by updating the server names in Domain Manager.

Finishing uploading via FileZilla and editing WP-CONFIG.PHP, I “copied” the URL as below to my Firefox browser:

ftp://[email protected]/motorbikesmith.info/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php

(This link looks very strange but I don’t have any slightest idea of what and how it can be corrected…)

… then FF showed the following content:

Error: PHP is not running

WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.
>
WordPress
get_var(“SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘$wpdb->users'”) != null ); // Ensure that Blogs appear in search engines by default $blog_public = 1; if ( ! empty( $_POST ) ) $blog_public = isset( $_POST[‘blog_public’] ); $weblog_title = isset( $_POST[‘weblog_title’] ) ? trim( stripslashes( $_POST[‘weblog_title’] ) ) : ”; $user_name = isset($_POST[‘user_name’]) ? trim( stripslashes( $_POST[‘user_name’] ) ) : ‘admin’; $admin_password = isset($_POST[‘admin_password’]) ? trim( stripslashes( $_POST[‘admin_password’] ) ) : ”; $admin_email = isset( $_POST[‘admin_email’] ) ? trim( stripslashes( $_POST[‘admin_email’] ) ) : ”; if ( ! is_null( $error ) ) { ?>

ERROR: %s’ ), $error ); ?>

See if you could give me some advice on this. Thanks again.

Hi Tim S,

Thanks for your kind reply first.

I am deploying WordPress in a web server that comes with a free web hosting provider, i.e. byethost. I tried to follow the steps but it failed when I pointed my Firefox browser to the URL identified by Filezilla. One thing I noticed is that when I created a new database with the hosting service, I was never asked to create username and password…

Still looking for ways to troubleshoot this.

Anyway, thanks again to Tim S.

I got the same problem of “PHP not running”… would like someone to explain in more details for “… you need a web server with PHP to run install.php…”.

Thanks.

kind of bumping into similar problem… Error:PHP is not running

See if someone may help. Thanks a lot.
