I’m having exactly the same problem. If anyone can come up with a solution I, too, would be very grateful.

I’ve been having exactly the same problem. As yet nobody seems to have come up with a solution, so I’d be most grateful for an answer to this, too.

I’ve had another go at a new install of 2.7 in a subdirectory. Everything works fine until the password is generated and I click the login button – at this point the browser hangs for ages and eventually I’m offered the login PHP script as a download. The database tables seem to have been created without any trouble. After this point all PHP scripts that are part of the new install hang for ages then offer me a download. No other PHP scripts are affected in any way.

If this helps to shed any light I’d still be most grateful for some help.

Hi samboll,

As explained earlier, everything that’s not part of WordPress is working perfectly. The above doesn’t tell me anything useful, I’m afraid.

My hosting company have told me that there is nothing helpful in the logs and declined to provide me with copies. This leaves me completely at a loss as to what to try next. If anybody has any ideas I’d be most grateful.

I’ve used WordPress very happily for years, and I’m very grateful to all those responsible for a fantastic piece of software. I’m having problems at the moment upgrading to 2.7 and, yes, it’s very frustrating. I’m sure that a solution will be found, though, and I’m not going to get angry about it in the meantime.

Hi Michael,

Good suggestion – I’ve just tried it and it’s made no difference, though.

I continue to be puzzled and frustrated…

My hosting company are being more helpful now, but are saying that the problem doesn’t seem to lie with them. I have requested the relevant entries from the server logs, and will post them here if I can get them.

Hi Stephen,

I don’t have access to these, but I have also asked my hosting company for assistance. Unfortunately, like many companies, getting help from them is difficult at best. If I can get a useful response from them I shall post the details here in the hope that someone else can benefit.

I’ve just tried to install it in a subdirectory and run into exactly the same problem. The installer gives me the password and when I click the log in button the problem resurfaces. (The database tables appear to have been created without any problem.)
