“hi i am trying to install wordpress on my site and i am at the last step. but when i login to: https://gooderbetting.com/wp-admin/install.php”

How did you get this far without your host name? It has to be in the config file.

I am having a simular problem so I am kind of with you here.

The host name is useually displayed when you setup your db name on the server. If not it should be in the FAQ. Iether way the only one who can tell you is your ISP.

I am having this problem in an initial setup of wp. Is this still true?

I ran the following php script provided in another section of this forum by a member.

<?

if ($cn = mysql_connect(myhost.com, User_user, password)) {
echo “connected”;
} else {
echo “not connected – ” . mysql_error();
}

?>

I got back the following answer:

not connected – Lost connection to MySQL server during query

I also found this but being less than talented I don’t know how to try it. I think my isp has to run it on the server.

Migration from PHP4 to PHP5
There is a PHP5 php.ini directive that puts PHP5 into PHP4
compatibility mode. In otherwords, your PHP4 scripts will for
sure [most likely] work. This directive is called: zend.ze1_compatibility_mode

any ideas? My isp is Directnic.

PS I also changed the extension of the file to .php5 as mentioned in another thread. All that did was feed the file back to me as a web page in a browser.

I finally got a wordpress page by deleting the ‘ around the db name, password etc. in the config.php file. Now I am getting:

Error establishing a database connection

I think that is a different issue so I will close this thread and start a new one.

Yes, today and a different isp as well.

Apache version1.3.37 (Unix)

I have new info on this problem.

I just tried to access the install.php file from another computer that has never heard of WordPress and it’s attached to a different isp. I copied the url to the Install file directly from the shell so no type’Os

Same result:

Can not display this page.

***

Is it possible to access the install file by way of an html file. I have access to those. I also can’t access the index.php file and there is one in the wp root. I’m starting to think my host dosen’t have or allow php access. (they actually do mas I use the phpadmin.

Thanks for trying

My localhost wp is also not working anymore. I assume it’s because I cleared the cookies. I get the same no display page from ie.

When veiwing my site from filezilla the folders are:

.. no access to this one
jewelsofawe.com this is my hosted site and my first point of access.

My hosting service does not provide 1 click install.

On the recomendation of my host provider I just tried v. 2.3.2RC1 with the same results.

I have tried all the other items you mentioned more than once.

I already tried reseting the password. In fact I even deleted the db and started over. No improvement. I did find about 1800k of ,???,php file once obly. I downloaded it to see what it was but I can’t find it.
