Stuck at “First Things First”

  • Well over 50 WP installs/migrations under my belt… And I’ve spent nearly an hour on this one… So I give up. I’m stuck.

    I’ve tried everything I can think of (New DB, chmod’d everything 777, new names, new directories) but no matter what I do, all I ever see is the “First Things First” screen.

    The install goes fine, PHPMySQL shows that the DBs get created, and I’m able to log into the admin panel – but I can’t ever view the site.

    Any idea?

    Just to add – There are already other installs on this server and within the same hosting account… That’s part of why I’m so stuck.

    And now I’ve tried another hosting account (complete with another domain).

    New folder – fails.
    New DB – fails.
    New account – fails.
    New subdomain – fails.
    File permissions set to 777 – fails.
    New unique keys – fails.

    I am SO confused.

    all I ever see is the “First Things First” screen.

    where/when do you get this screen?
    I’ve done 100’s of installs and never gotten it.

    I’m seeing it when I go to “example.com/blog” which is where the install SHOULD be visible.

    Like I said before, too, example.com/blog/wp-admin/ works no problem.

    can we have a real link?

    As much as I’d love to, it’s being done on an internal network… I can’t duplicate it on any public servers.

    I can save a copy of the HTML output of the page I’m seeing and upload that somewhere if you think it’d be useful?
