New installer – Did WordPress kill other scripts on my site?

    I’ve got a wedding photography business, part of my website is some photo sales software, where each wedding gets uploaded for clients to view and or purchase photos. this is all running fine, it’s installed within a folder ‘/view’

    I decided to install WordPress today (It’s been on my to-do list forever!) and used the auto-installer my hosting company has in my control panel. The auto-installer gave me literally only one choice – what folder to install it in – I chose ‘/blog’. No other options for databade names etc etc.

    I wanted to add WordPress as a blog to my existing site, then try and configure the theme to look close enough to the existing site after.

    For some reason though, although wordpress worked (Don’t bother trying to look at it, it’s a scruffy mess as I gave up trying to configure it!) the installation process seemed to have killed the other software within ‘/view’.

    It just shows an internal server error. The error log of my site shows “Premature end of script headers: php5fcgi.fcgi

    Any ideas what happened or what WordPress would have made changes to that the other software needed? The fcgi file in question has the correct permissions (I tried setting it to 777 just to allow all and see if it helped, which it didn’t.

    The hosts do have a weekly backup, which I may just reinstate and forget WordPress. Which would be a shame. The sales software would take waaaay too long to start again with setting up!

    Any help or advice appreciated! Thanks

    You are lost and posting to the wrong support forum. That’s not a free hosted WordPress.COM blog and we can’t help with it here. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have separate logins. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click this link http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
