new installation, blank screen, error message

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/www/web454/html/home/www/webX/html/wp-config.php on line 3 Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/www/web454/html/home/www/webX/html/wp-includes/load.php on line 270

This suggests a server configuration issue. Try contacting your hosts for assistance.

Thanks esmi,

I have contacted my host on monday, and again yesterday, about my wordpress installation problems and haven’t heard from them yet.
If there’s anything I can try at my end, I would try it. Otherwise, I’ll have to look for a new host.

You could try to manually enable the ini_set function, although depending on your server configuration it may or may not work. Here is advice from a similar thread:

In cPanel, Go to the PHP Configuration Editor then click on “Advanced Mode.” This will let you view and edit all php.ini settings including disable_functions.

If that doesn’t work, you could try modifying your php.ini file.

Thanks for your help!
I didn’t make any progress on this install and have now changed host and domain.

Hello, everyone.

I have very similar issue. But not with new installation, just .. error is the same ??

When I’m trying to login to my admin panel in WordPress, I receive the following error:

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/domain_username/public_html/wp-includes/load.php on line 270

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/domain_username/public_html/wp-includes/load.php:270) in /home/domain_username/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

What the heck should be wrong here?

wp-includes/load.php
Lines 260-281

	if ( WP_DEBUG ) {
