    I’ve uploaded 2.6.1 to my host, and 5-minute install says the next step is to open install.php in a browser. It’s at a temporary url.

    How can I open it in a browser if I’m not logged in yet? Of course I can log in at the host and look at the file but all I get is a text file. Same from Filezilla, just the text file.

    Even if I were logged in through wp-login.php, how could I open install.php from within the WordPress GUI? I have another wordpress blog running at the same site and didn’t have to go through this step, and never noticed any access to files except the theme CSS anyway.

    Host support might have done this part for me, I don’t know.

  • You don’t need to login to run install.php. Just run its URL from a browser and it should work.

    https://www.YOURSITENAME.com/wp-admin/install.php

    that doesnt work for me, all i get is a “the page cannot be found” when i go to mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php

    why isnt it uploading on the browser like its supposed to??? I have created many wp sites before and never had this installation problem.

    I face the same problem, but it seams it is caused by an error in an script.
    i got – Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/../../wp/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 274. someone know what to do?

    I got it finally. I was confusing the path for the database installation with my temporary url. Host support straightened me out.

    ok i sortet it out,

    for all having trouble width out of memory problems, here are some details.

    from the wp-settings.php

    if ( function_exists('memory_get_usage') && ( (int) @ini_get('memory_limit') < abs(intval(WP_MEMORY_LIMIT)) ) )
{
  	ini_set('memory_limit', WP_MEMORY_LIMIT);
}

    this should set the memory limit to 32MB – however this is not working on the server of my host width (php4.3.11).

    i hope my provider can change this…
