Could you update or make the application Bada 1.1 compatible? I have a GT-S7230E and alltho it says it requires Bada 1.0 or later, it does not allow me to install it on my phone.

Found a perfect solution – different website software suite, not going to “advertise” it, but it’s a much better solution.

Started wondering, wouldn’t a php workaround interfiere with automatic updating process? As in wouldn’t it corrupt the setup each time it is updated… any suggestions/tips?

Here are the folder perms used by IIS that’ll allow WP to be accessible.

For the whole WP folder have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read permissions assigned to IUSR, IIS_IUSRS, NETWORK SERVICE and to allow WP to automatically manage the files when downloading and installing new plugins/themes trough the WP dashboard then assign Full Control permissions for the “wp-content” folder to those listed users (not a good idea to leave it open all the time like this tho). If you have Zend Server installed for PHP content then you might also need to give the Read, Write, Execute permissions to ZendUser.

WordPress will ask for FTP login in situations where WP doesn’t have enough folder permissions. There for it’ll be offering different file management ways of getting the plugin installed.

If the WP isn’t able to access FTP server and encounters problems even when login info is correct you can also manually download the plugin and copy it’s files to the plugin folder in “wp-content” (and extract if necessary)

Really odd that you don’t have the IIS_IUSRS. I’m on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (Full not Core) myself, but if i remember correctly IIS_IUSRS did exist in the first release of Server 2008 as well, perhaps you tried finding the user account by inputting only partial name? I have had the same issues of Windows telling me a user account doesn’t exist, but when full name has been written it gets found after all.

As for the 500 error, check the status of your PHP installation setup/config. My guess would be that PHP is crashing FastCGI and that may be the reason why you can’t access install.php. If installation set up /config looks allright you could check the IIS/PHP logs(can’t recall the exact location where they were stored). Have you even have Zend Server installed for PHP application development by any chance or it’s a standard PHP release for Windows?

On another sidenote, WordPress is compatible being set up in a “Network Mode” in which you can have 1 physical WP folder set up, but have multiple WP websites run on it at the same time …. so instead of having 4 folders for 4 websites and needing to set up 4 admin accounts in each website, you could have 4 virtual WP websites controled trough 1 master admin dashboard where you would be able to create new WP Blog websites and assign their corresponding editors user accounts to them .. trough this you could also manage all the plugins/themes available to individual WP Websites while at the same time having all the plugins stored in the same single physical folder located on your HDD. This is an advanced WP configuration which can ease up the folder permission assignation for each WP website. If that would work better for you, you’ll be able to find a installation guide somewhere on WordPress website explaining how to set up WordPress in a Network mode.

I also really doubt that this might be a .htaccess or a plugin issue since it’s a fresh installation.

So far trying to come up with a workaround based on modified MySQL database configuration hasn’t been successful. And since the “SiteURL” is configured and stored in MySQL i’m wondering about a way of making WordPress ignoring MySQL data on “SiteURL” and let a PHP script set the URLs.

If you are hosting your website at a hosting company then usually you may not have the ability to rename or delete your database or create new ones due to security reasons, just contact a webmaster and talk with them how to sort this out.

I think 3.04 works on any webserver. I’ve personally set up WP a few times on my Windows Server with IIS7.5 to explore WP and haven’t really experienced WP simply not working.

Have a look at the requirements for WordPress – https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/ and be sure that you meet them.

As Rich ‘elfin’ Pedley already said – you need a webserver, so you will either need to set up one or just find a host, alternative may however also be setting up a WordPress blog at WordPress.com – https://wordpress.com/

Have you propertly configured your “wp-config.php“?

You need to create a new wp-config.php or rename wp-config-sample.php and fill in all the required data in it. I’ve had the same issue when while setting up WP i forgot that trough install.php it doesn’t create wp-config.php like as for a quick example it does during a phpBB3 installation.

On a sidenote – there is no need to set the Folder/File permissions to “Everyone“. It is fully enough to have the whole WP folder have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read permissions assigned to IUSR, IIS_IUSRS, NETWORK SERVICE and then assign Full Control permissions for the “wp-content” to those listed users if you want to allow WP to install plugins/themes automatically (not a good idea to leave it open all the time like this either tho)
