Install.php being downloaded not run

    Hi,

    I’m trying to get the latest version of wordpress running but every time I access it is failing. In IE 6 I get a page cannot be displayed response, in Firefox on the same box I get a blank page returned. In Firefox on a liux box it attempts to download the install.php file.

    I can access other files in the wp-admin and php pages are rendering correctly for everything else. I have checked the config file is correct as it tells me that I need to run install.php, but if I change any settings it then says it can connect to the database.

    To say the least I don’t know what to do next. Any ideas?

    I’m running
    Debian Sarge AMD 64
    Apache 2
    PHP 4.3.10-16
    MySQL 4.1.11

    TIA

  • Upload again install.php and install-helper.php in “wp-admin” folder, and see how it runs.

    Fresh download and extracted into the required directory.

    Tried both of those, install-helper, returns to the

    “It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.”

    screen, while install.php shows blank on this machine. Checking live-http-headers shows response codes of 200 from both pages.

    Any more ideas?

    Maybe something from this thread will help? Good luck!

    Didn’t pick anything up from there, other than there is not even any source code being returned to the page when it is accessed.

    The whole apache, php, mysql stack is (as far as my poking around as well) configured correctly as I have another php application (ampache) running correctly on it. All of the configuration though is the default as you would get on a fresh Debian install.

    One thing that I have changed is the max memory from 8m to 16m. When running install.php from the command line it broke requireing more memory access. Is this a red herring or have I caught onto somthing here (the change didn’t make it work btw).

    Cheers

    Ha it was the memory issue, I had just forgotten to retart the server to pick up the change.

    Thanks for all the help
