Crunched install.php site

  • Unknown's avatar

    Well known problems with manual installation strikes back.

    I’ve tried to install manually wp 2.8.6 (and 2.8.6 PL) on several hosts (free, and paid as well – every host 100% supports wp – there are working wp installations – of course not mine, but other users’).

    Every time after starting install.php (or setup-config.php) appears “crunched” site with a lot of “%>#$!” and error messages “WP already installed”, “wp-config.php found….” Install process doesn’t work.

    Every required information is properly set in wp-config.php… MySQL database is created and empty.

    Even more – this bug appears when wp-config.php is deleted from wordpress directory….
    Even more – this bug appears when I run install.php or setup-config.php on my local PC with WinXP, without installed MySQL, PHP, WWW server on it….. So I think there’s no problem with database connection, but on earlier stage – error in PHP script.
    Test file phpinfo.php with string “<?php phpinfo();?>” uploaded on remote host returns empty screen (IE8, Firefox 3.5). The same is when I run it from local computer.

    I’ve searched dozens of posts in this forum, tried various solutions, and anything helped….

    Should I install PHP on local computer, although I want to install WP on remote host?!

    @apstryk,

    The site linked to your name is indeed a wordPress.COM blog.

    However, the moment you say,
    “…install manually wp 2.8.6 (and 2.8.6 PL) on several hosts…”
    it is clear that you are asking for assistance in the wrong place.
    Your self-hosted blog with wp.ORG software indicates you need to ask here:
    http://wordpress.org/support/

    This is a forum for wp.COM and our software, etc. would not apply to you! Check out the difference between the two breeds of wordpress:
