Installation problem – Warning: Unknown

    Hello all,

    So I must be missing something but I can’t seem to figure out what. When I go to my install page at https://www.dihybridcross.com/propaganda/wp-admin/install.php I get this:

    Warning: Unknown(/home/dihybrid/public_html/propaganda/wp-admin/install.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

    Warning: Unknown(/home/dihybrid/public_html/propaganda/wp-admin/install.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

    Warning: (null)(): Failed opening ‘/home/dihybrid/public_html/propaganda/wp-admin/install.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in Unknown on line 0

    I’ve checked that I installed my database correctly and according to the material my host provides I did. But it’s hard to say, since the instructions for installing didn’t include anything about vdeck.

    Any ideas?

    I don’t know how you put the files on the server, but it sounds as though the web server process doesn’t have permission to read the install.php file. Check to make sure that the permissions have been set correctly — read permission for everybody — and try again.

    er… permissions? Where would I find that?

    Sorry, I’m kinda dumb about some of this stuff.

    I think you have some corrupted files. Note the “Line 0” that is mentioned. Is this a new install? I’d be tempted to delete the files and reupload them and try again.

    hey, thanks for all the input. I had to go and change the permissions on every file, literally. But now everything seems to be running smoothely. Moral of the story is that vdeck doesn’t like me and I miss cpanel.

    I just had the same problem and if you have access directly to the server console, through ssh or telnet, I just did ‘chmod 771 www/ -R’ and the -R recursively adds the correct permission.
