Installation failed

It seems you didn’t upload completely all the files.
Try to upload a fresh copy of the WP files.

Moshu, Thanks

All the files are uploaded. It seems to me that it looking for the files in the wrong place perhaps? Which i dont understand, as I havent changed the path of any of the files?

Richard

What seems to be and what is there – are two different things.
Did you try what I suggested before posting back?
It could be a corrupted file…

Check for the presence of the file admin-functions.php in
the directory wp-admin

You are saying that all files are uploaded correctly. Did you check whether the file size on your PC and your web host is the same?

Moshu,

I had not re uploaded the files but I have now. I get the same error message?

pramodd,

The file is there and it is the same file size indicating that its not corrupted?

Ideas?

One more thing I’d try before exploring other troubleshooting: a fresh copy as I stated above. Meaning new download, new unzip, new upload.

If it still doesn’t work, we have to take a look at where the files are uploaded. Is “www” you root directory? (e.g. if you have a public_html – you shouldn’t use www)

Thank you for the help so far.

I have Re downloaded the files, unzipped and uploaded them afresh. As far as i can tell there are only 3 files that are not exactly the same on the FTP as on my computer. This appears to have solved the previous problem and created a new one. So you were right guys ??

The files that aren’t complete are:

/www/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/paste/blank.htm
/www/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/paste/pastetext.htm
/www/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/paste/pasteword.htm

I have tried getting these 3 files the same but after 20 or so attempts i cant, they are either a few bytes short or miles short.

The error message i get now when running the install file is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_wp_error() in /vhost/vhost6/r/i/c/CENSORED/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1320

Is this simply because of the 3 files above?

Moshu, to answer your question; WWW is the correct folder for my web files. I come to this coclusion because I deleted all the files from the server and then put an index.htm file in all the folders 1 by 1. The only one which worked was the www folder. There is no publicHTML folder.

So what now guys? (thanks again)

Richard

Hmmm. Those tinymce things shouldn’t interfere with the install.
However, the new error points to another possible corrupted file: wp-includes/functions.php

Well, if everything else fails, you can always try https://install4free.wordpress.net/ (if it is a personal blog)

unfortunately thats really not an option.

Line 1320 of wp-includes/functions.php is:

$name = $name[1];

??? So what are my options, am I officially stuck ?

Richard

There is a problem with either:
– your downloads
– your unzip
– your ftp upload

Line 1320 in functgions.php looks like this:
if ( is_wp_error( $message ) ) {

and your installtion is complianing about not having this line… = undefined function. It is “undefined” because it is not there.

My God,

I am Stupid. The second time I uploaded everything I forogt to rename my config file.

All working now

Thanks everyone

Glad you finally figured it out.
Happy blogging.

(could you please mark it as resolved?)

Thanks
