New to WP & Unable to Install

I strongly advise u to upload wp again.

Actually what i do is this:
1) download original wp
2) unzip it
3) zip it wihout wordpress folder (i mean, i enter wordpress folder select all files and folders there , then zip it)
4) name it wordpress.zip
then i run the folowing unziper script, wich unzips alright for me
then, i change the wp-content chmod to 775, and public_html also

then acess mysite.com/wp-admin and it does the job ok

<?php
$zip = zip_open("wordpress.zip"); //DEFINE O ARQUIVO A SER ABERTO

if (is_resource($zip)) {
  while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
    $fp = fopen(/.zip_entry_name($zip_entry), "w");
    if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r")) {
      $buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));
      fwrite($fp,"$buf");
      zip_entry_close($zip_entry);

	  print(zip_entry_name($zip_entry)); //IMPRIME O ARQUIVO ABERTO

      fclose($fp);
    }
  }
  zip_close($zip);
}
?>

hope it helps

tell me if it worked for u

zip it wihout wordpress folder (i mean, i enter wordpress folder select all files and folders there , then zip it)

I have a problem. I’m not seeing folders in the extracted WordPress stuff. This, I suspect, has been my problem all along. I see plenty of files, but no folders.

——————-

Ignore what I just posted. I just realized my zip program went bonkers and didn’t unzip the files properly. Instead of unzipping to their folder locations, it unzipped everything into a single root folder. And it’s not working properly when I try and force it to the original folders.

Thank you for the hints. As soon as I fix my zip program (I think it’s corrupted), I’ll try this again.

Good grief. That was the problem. My zip program was broken and wasn’t unzipping the files to the correct folders.

Fixed now. Installation ran. Now I just need to figure out how to uninstall so I can use the correct user for creating the database tables.

Thank you for your assistance.

thats easy
delete all files from server

then open MySQL with phpmyadmin
enter database u chose for wordpress, delete everything on it
and do it all again =)

good luck, glad to help
dont forget to close the topic if it worked ??
