Delete all the files and upload a fresh copy of the WP package. Make sure all the files get uploaded and uncorrupted.
I did it. and redid the config file. this is the link to the install file based on my server.

i get the same error. All i did was ftp it to the folder … is there something missing? i checked the admin file is there.

There is something completely wrong with what is visible at the link you gave. It should NOT display the wp-config file ever!
I’d suggest delete everything and eventually find some pro help, it is difficult to tell what is wrong on that server.
Don’t feel too bad. I’m having the same problem. I see from a Google search that this same issue is popping up everywhere. I’m not convinced that there’s something wrong with the files or permissions or server.
Even so, I’m hoping WordPress support can offer some sort of solution… ?
if ANY php file is spitting back content like above thats an issue on the server. I dont care where, or how many times it happens.
“..popping up everywhere”
there may be 1000’s of wp installs on one shitty server.
trust me, its happened.
there was a rampage of posts a few days ago, all the same problem basically. Guess what, all the sites were on godaddy, and godaddy was eventually determined to be the source of the problem(s).
I’m having the same problem. I have a dedicated server on HostGator.com
hopefully someone can figure this one out. I’ve installed it using wget in the shell and also unzipping on my local drive and reuploading. same message. re-uploaded it 2 or 3 times as well. rg
Hi,
I had a similar problem with an install of wordpress.
So I shelled into the box and checked my wp-config.php file; the formatting of the file seemed to be jumbled (I guess this happened when I’d ftped it?). I tried to ftp again but – same problem – the file was still looking pretty screwed up.
Luckily I had another install of WordPress on the box so I was able to copy the wp-config.php from that install over to my new one. That seemed to do the trick for me. Hope this helps here.
so I was able to copy the wp-config.php from that install over to my new one.
Well, I must add that without editing that config file, if you are just using it unchanged in a second install… would result the complete erasing of your initial blog content!
So, NO, don’t try it at home – as the commercials say 🙂
Arrgh! Yes! Apologies. Should have added that I edited it, just keeping the formatting of the file.
