moshu, I believe “trying to install” and not being able to view site is “the same”… I don’t know. How is WordPress installed when I cannot view the site?

My problem, whenever I attempt to access my site, is exactly as stated by BigC and CitizenN: “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”

In addition, it is related because I’ve had to change wp-config to fix the failed opening required error: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/36747?replies=1

Hijacking a topic? Absolutely not. Like BigC and CitizenN, I am having similar failed installation issues.

Double posting? No. Created June 2005 and still no solution.

More importantly: I’m just trying to contribute; and furthermore, determined to solve this frustrating installation/wp-config.php problem.

While I respect your time to help all of us, I believe jessatrightlook, synergyeffect, BigC and CitizenN all have the “same” problem that is related to wp-config and how the server is interpreting the file.

The DB setup and connection isn’t really the problem, but I believe it keeps coming up in these posts because once the installation fails, the script keeps requesting to reset the DB.

Also, can you explain: “Usually it’s not where it is supposed to be”? It’s a little vague.

Thanks for your continued support. I hope there is a solution soon.

I’m having the same problem, and quite surprised there isn’t an apparent solution.

I have re-installed, checked permissions, cleared cookies/cache, etc.

The admin center works fine. “View Site” does not.

Please help.

After attempting to resolve since June 2005, with no luck; gave this issue a break. New Year resolution?

Installed 2.0 with the same issue.

Searched the forum. Still no luck.

Host is Communitech. PHP 4.2.3. Redirection? Don’t know.

I’ve followed instructions and can log onto Admin, but cannot view site: taktikz.com/blog/

Would appreciate any assistance.

I delete the wp-admin/ and wp-includes/ directories and re-uploaded, but my problem still exists.

The admin center functions properly, but the “view site” and the blog itself does not work.

In addition, I’ve deleted cache files from my browser and check the blog directory for hidden files.

The other strange thing is that there does not appear to be any other issue related to this.

Any suggestions are welcome.
