install.php does not run

  • Hello,

    I am new to blogging and to Word Press. I installed all of the various components (Word Press 2.1, MySQL 5.0.27, PHP 5.2.1 and Apache 2.2.4) successfully.

    However the Install.php script does not appear to run correctly. I typed in the path in my browser and I get the following instead of the configuration screen.

    Please advise. TIA.

    <?php
    define(‘WP_INSTALLING’, true);
    if (!file_exists(‘../wp-config.php’)) {
    require_once(‘../wp-includes/functions.php’);
    wp_die(“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”, “WordPress › Error”);
    }

  • You may need to talk with your host as your web-server may not be processing PHP files correctly.

    I am the person managing the server and installed all of the companents for WordPress. There’s no one else to go to within the organization.

    Is there anything specific I should be look for?

    Please advise.
    TIA.

    ‘AddType application/x-httpd-php .php’ added into httpd.conf?

    Thanks – already done that. Nothing during the intallation process leads me to think there was an error anywhere. It was so smooth sailing that it seems too good to be true!

    Open to suggestions (short or re-doing everything).
