  • Hi I would begrateful for hrelp on the following:

    Installation: Famous 5-minute install

    I thought i did what the below stated but I got this:

    please advise thanks in advance

    ERROR: %s’), $error); ?>

    checked=”checked” />

    ‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’

    ‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).’
    ‘);} switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // in case people are directly linking to this display_header(); ?>

    ReadMe documentation at your leisure. Otherwise, just fill in the information below and you’ll be on your way to using the most extendable and powerful personal publishing platform in the world.’), ‘../readme.html’); ?>

    error) ) wp_die($wpdb->error->get_error_message()); display_header(); // Fill in the data we gathered $weblog_title = isset($_POST[‘weblog_title’]) ? stripslashes($_POST[‘weblog_title’]) : ”; $admin_email = isset($_POST[‘admin_email’]) ? stripslashes($_POST[‘admin_email’]) : ”; $public = isset($_POST[‘blog_public’]) ? (int) $_POST[‘blog_public’] : 0; // check e-mail address $error = false; if (empty($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __(‘you must provide an e-mail address.’) ); $error = true; } else if (!is_email($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __(‘that isn’t a valid e-mail address. E-mail addresses look like: [email protected]’) ); $error = true; } if ( $error === false ) { $wpdb->show_errors(); $result = wp_install($weblog_title, ‘admin’, $admin_email, $public); extract($result, EXTR_SKIP); ?>

    admin
    ‘. $password .’
    ‘; } echo ‘

    ‘. $password_message .’
    ‘; ?>

    1. Unzip the package in an empty directory.
    2. Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.
    3. Save the file as wp-config.php
    4. Upload everything.
    5. Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. This should setup the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check your wp-config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support forums with as much data as you can gather.
    6. Note the password given to you.
    7. The install script should then send you to the login page. Sign in with the username admin and the password generated during the installation. You can then click on ‘Profile’ to change the password.

  • Make sure your host is running PHP.

    Make sure you use ASCII mode when uploading files to your remote host.

    I am experiencing something similar.

    My host is running PHP, and I’ve checked and triple checked my config file. This may be a lame question, but in the Read Me doc when it says “upload everything” what is that referring to?

    This is the message I received:
    ERROR: %s’), $error); ?>

    checked=”checked” />

    ‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’

    ‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).’

    ‘; } echo ‘

    when it says “upload everything” what is that referring to?

    Please review Installing WordPress and Uploading WordPress to a remote host.

    You are both seeing raw PHP. That shouldn’t happen. The parser has gone wrong somewhere. Corrupt files can do that, which seems to me to explain MichaelH’s advice. I’d advise the same thing as a start to solving this.

    Upload everything where – my webhosting page ?

    yours ?

    after these coros i presume mine, and that does have php

    ASCII mode – where how what ??

    corrupt files – only followed instructions ???

    thanks in advance

    On your host, delete the WordPress files, except for wp-config.php, then reupload the files (these would be the files you extracted from the downloaded zip file) with your FTP client. making sure to use ASCII file transfer mode.

    What is needed are simple and clear instructions! I have years of experience with websites and programming. This WordPress install is a frustrating experience. The “Famous 5 minutes install” is a cruel joke…

    years of experience with websites and programming, but not so much with reading.
