I got it all worked out. Or rather, my host did [she’s awesome].

The problem for me, which many newbie/rookie/everyday joe’s like me might want to double-check is the name of the host that’s put into the FTP upload space. I had the wrong hostname in my database info in my wp-config file, and had put it in there based upon a wrong assumption.

Getting the hostname correct fixed the entire problem for me. Go figure. O; )

Have a help ticket with my host.

Apparently, I had the wrong host name in there, so we got that fixed, and… <drumroll, please> …still nothing.

This is the latest message from trying to install the ColorWay 1.7 theme:
———————————–

Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Successfully installed the theme ColorWay 1.7.

My main issue seems to be that WP can’t write to my server. What’s the right approach to fix that?

I asked my host to check the error logs; no improvement.

I deleted all themes (via FZ) except for TwentyTen. Then went to install Twenty Eleven, and here is the new round of error messages:

Warning: fopen(/home/mydomain/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/miracoli/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4443

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4449

Becoming ever more cluelesser by the click.

Just deleted wp-config-sample.php via FileZilla. No change in the error message.

Has anyone successfully figured this out? I’ve worked with WordPress for a few years, albeit not consistently, but this makes me wonder if I need to ditch it in favor of something that can get my business online. Time is precious. :-/

Current step:

Made the new wp-config.php; now have that and wp-config-sample.php in my root directory.

This is the error message that I see in my WP admin:
—————————

Warning: uksort() [function.uksort]: The argument should be an array in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-themes-list-table.php on line 48

Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-themes-list-table.php on line 55

???

Boolean sounds suspiciously like moonshine…

Just deleted my wp-config to make it from scratch in the setup from the wp-admin/setup-config.php URL. I plugged in my database info, clicked submit, and this is the next (and very familiar) error message:
———————————-
Sorry, but I can’t write the wp-config.php file.

You can create the wp-config.php manually and paste the following text into it.
———————————-

I noticed that the text of the config.php example doesn’t end in ?> …are php files supposed to end with nothing, like in my c/p example from the WP setup screen?

Trying to figure this out…

Trying to see if there is something wrong with wp-config file. WP installation said I didn’t have the config-sample.php file, so reupped it, and went to wp-admin/setup-config.php again. This time, I got this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 11

This is what that file reads on lines 9-13:
9 /** The descriptions for theme files. */
10 $wp_file_descriptions = array(
11 ‘index.php’ => __( ‘Main Index Template’ ),
12 ‘style.css’ => __( ‘Stylesheet’ ),
13 ‘editor-style.css’ => __( ‘Visual Editor Stylesheet’ ),

Am I headed in the right direction to look at this? If so, is this what this file is supposed to look like?

ps…I used FileZilla to do my installations (don’t know if that makes a difference in trouble-shooting), and my website is miracolirosaries.com

Thanks again, poets. : )

I’ll be listening, Brian, as I can’t get 3.3 to recognize anything.

I’m a DIYer who urgently needs to get my business site up and running, as there is the possibility of media attention next week – and absolutely no budget for a coder. :-/

Hi Knowing,

I can’t help you with your symbols problem, but might be able to with your wp-config location.

The way it works for me is to login to my cPanel and then I click on my File Manager. When File Manager opens up, I click on public_html and the list of public_html stuff populates there on the page. There are three main folders to the WordPress software: wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes, and they should be listed there in your public_html. wp-config.php is a file, though, and not a folder; I believe that you will find it in the list of loose files that populate underneath the listing of admin, content, and includes.

I hope this makes enough sense to be useful. It’d be so much easier to draw a picture of where it is; instead I’m stuck with words.

Good luck to you!

Hi Rob,

I hope you got it fixed. I’m having the saaaaaame problem, no idea how to fix it.

Best,

Jennifer

My apologies Randy for not getting back sooner; are you ok with CF7? If not just holler and I’ll be happy to help if you need.

Is that the name of it Randy? My contact form is called Contact Form 7; I could walk you through that one, but don’t know about the one you mention.

I hope you find an answer to your question. It’s kind of like being on Mars at first, huh? You’ll get there.
