You followed all instructions (and created a database, etc.)?
From your brief information I cannot say much. More info on what you tried/did could be helpfull.I have the same problem, after changing wp-config.php, I get blank webpage when I type:
https://primersajtova.07x.net/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
I tried localhost and https, but nothing worked.
I must mention that I added:define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
RewriteRule !^/wp-(admin|login|register)(.*) – [C]
here is copy of my configuration file, except keys and username and password for database:
<?php

*
* This file is used by the wp-config.php creation script during the
* installation. You don’t have to use the web site, you can just copy this file
* to “wp-config.php” and fill in the values.

?>And did you create a database before starting to install?
I don’t get a blank when clicking your link, but a 500. All files are where they are supposed to be and your server supports PHP?of course I created database. you see above the name:
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘x07x_blabla_wordpress’);
of course, instead of “blabla” there are some numbers.
maybe I should create one table inside of database?
I will check now database with cpanel.No tables found in database.
and yes, my server support php, I have Joomla there already, in other account.
Indeed, “of course” ??
No, you should only have to create a database and assign a user, the installation will create the tables.
And the other question, do you have other PHP on your server (I noticed Drupal and another folder) that makes you sure it’s executed?my server support php, I have Joomla there already, in other account.
drupal and osscommerce will be installed today. it is still empty.
I am surprised that I should type install.php when there is no install.php in my root folder. in Joomla, there is installation folder which is deleting after installation, but WP has no install.php file and I should use install.php. that is little strange to me.
uf, there is install.php in folder wp-admin, I made mistake.
The install.php should be in the wp-admin folder as you quoted above.
Btw. while trying to check if you actually uploaded all files and in the folder where you think they are, I noticed some strange behavior of your host when trying thishttps://primersajtova.07x.net/wp-admin
(to see if the files are in the root, rather than the wordpress folder).Could you describe what you already did? You created a wordpress folder, a database, uploaded the unzipped wordpress 2.8.2 zip to the wordpress folder using
FTP
and all of it or did some things went differently?I created a wordpress folder, a database, uploaded the unzipped wordpress 2.8.2 zip to the wordpress folder using CPanel uploader.
or maybe first I uploaded files and later created database, I don’t remember. but I changed configuration file after I created database and I changed it directly at server, I didn’t upload changed file. but as I have experience with internet, if information in config file are correct, installation should work.“I noticed some strange behavior of your host when trying this…”
yes, server has stupid behavior to forward to some webpages when someone don’t type correct URL.
Hm, it sounds like it cannot be anything with the way you try to install WP. The only suggestion I have left is: compare the inzipped WP pack on your computer with that on your server. There should be some files in the root of the wordpress folder and three wp- folders.
Oh, one more idea, I’m sure you changed the name wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php?
If both are fine, I’m afraid I have no ideas left……..yes, I changed the name of file, I will see how to check fast all folders, but in the root of wordpress is everything ok, I counted files. I will check wp-admin folder, there are installation files.
thanx in any case:)p.s. I just installed drupal now, creating of database was good. I will try later again wordpress.
A blank page is the result of a php issue. It could be the memory, try adding this define>>> define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
to your config.php file.Also check with your host as to what version of php is running on the server – get it upgraded to at least 4.4.9 if posible.
Operating system Linux
Apache version 2.2.11 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.9
MySQL version 5.0.81I just tried now:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
primersajtova.07x.net/wordpress/wp-admin/install.phpand IT WORKS!!!
I got Welcome page where I should write title of blog and my email.
thanx!hey, can you help me about:
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);RewriteRule !^/wp-(admin|login|register)(.*) – [C]
when I write it in configuration file, I can’t visit my website, so what should I do? the both things are for me important.
