3.0 install not parsing correctly, or something

  • Hello everyone,

    I’m currently in the middle of installing 3.0 for the site I manage at my job. The automatic upgrade did not work, possibly due to some weird permission restrictions I encountered on the host (which is Hostway, it seems).

    After clearing out old WP files, I uploaded the new files and set up the config file, and got a 500 error. I solved the error issue by adding an .htaccess file (which previously was not present) as recommended by some other threads. Now the WP files aren’t parsing correctly, and just show up as raw html and a bunch of PHP syntax.

    The host has CGI-based PHP, and I’m not sure which version it is. Can’t check because there doesn’t seem to be a Cpanel or anything I can access. I’m not sure if this is my end or an issue with the PHP version or the server.

    I’m not sure what to do from here other that revert to the old version from my backup, so some help would be greatly appreciated

    So I read up on this issue some more, and it seems the most likely cause is the PHP on the server not working or being an older incompatible version. I’m currently downgrading from my backup, so hopefully the site will work again. How annoying.
