wp-install.php problem

  • Sorry, about the big post but this is the message I got when I click on the wp-install.php from the readme.html. What don’t I have config correctly?

  • Are you sure PHP is running on your server?

    Thread Starter Anonymous

    Yes, I believe so because I installed b2 withouth problem. I’m just have problem with wordpress.

    Wait, you have b2 running? Are you doing an install over b2, or are you just upgrading to WP?

    Thread Starter Anonymous

    Yes, I installed b2 and got it running. Then I drop the database for b2 and start the wordpress install from scratch and that’s the current problem. I kept the b2 and wordpress folders separate from each other and follow the install structions separately. I also tried the b2-2 upgrade and that did not work either. I thought a fresh install of wordpress would be a good solution but did not work.

    If you dropped the tables, that could be the problem. Depending on what you are using for your control panel, it could be a bug. I have found that cpanel has a bug that shows that that tables are dropped, but they are still there.
    What you should probably do is try to use a new MySQL database. If you only have one available, put in a support ticket to your host and tell them the problem. They will wipe the tables out for you and that should be the solution. ??

    Still have the same problem…I created another database different from the one for b2 and launch wp-install.php.

    Could you post a link to your phpinfo.php?

    Sorry, I don’t give you a link but I’ll email the phpinfo page to you.

    I looked at it and I really don’t know what your problem is. There’s no reason why PHP code would be displayed to the browser in any situation if PHP is running on the server. I would recommend (if you can) trying it on a different server and see if you fare better there.

    Thanks for the help. I’m really at a lost here. I installed b2 without problem but have a problem with wp.
    I don’t have another system to test this on. I’m using iBook OS X 10.2.6 with the default php and tested it with Safari, MS IE and Camino just of good measure. I’m surprise other people don’t have this problem.
    I just downloaded 7.2 beta and no luck.

    It really sounds like for some reason, your httpd isn’t recognizing the files as PHP code for some reason. You might try looking for help in some of the OS/X specific forums?

    I think you use “open file” to open the readme.html.
    You need open the readme.html via httpd. as below
    https://localhost/wordpress/readme.html

    I experienced the same problem with Safari. What you need to do rather then clicking on the wp-install.php from within the readme.html you need to type in the url like https://localhost/wp-admin/wp-install.php.
    I did open the readme.html just by clicking on that file which is the same as ‘open file’. You can try sword’s respond also that sounds logical.
