• Hi all,

    I have no problem setting up wp on any of my hosting accounts but I am trying to install it on my home machine. I have Windows XP and am running a XAMPP lite setup that includes:

    # Apache HTTPD 2.2.9 + Openssl 0.9.8i
    # MySQL 5.0.67
    # PHP 5.2.6

    After filling in the blog name and email address on the first page and hitting the submit button the script just hangs. Never gets to step two and the browser just sits in a loading state.

    It does make the database tables And if I access the install script again it tells me its already installed. I can check out the tables in phpmyadmin and change or get the account setting it has but trying to login the password wont match up. And creating a new account entry in mysql wont work either. This is because WP initially creates a random hashed password for the Admin account.

    If I edit /wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php -> line 34 in the wp_install() function its the $randompassword var; to a generic un-hashed string. I am then able to login to the WP install and it looks like everything is setup.

    I checked out my Apache logs and noticed some stuff. Listed below is my Apache logs from first accessing the install page and submitting it until I hit stop on the browser. The logs show that there may be an issue with my wp-cron.php as its not being found. Also there are some mysql errors for inserting some rows into wordpress.wp_options. Its stating that the table does not exists. Which is not true as their are other rows entered into it when I review it in phpmyadmin.

    Please help this has been driving me crazy for a while.

  • Sounds like kind of the same thing is this thread:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/206999?replies=17
    and most of these:
    http://wordpress.org/tags/wp_options

    I’m having the exact same problem as above. Im running wordpress 2.7.rc2 locally. It lets me fill out blog tittle and asks for email then just hangs. I never make it to getting the password and don;’t know how to change making it a self generated pass as the above post suggest. I have followed the above 2 links and copied what Anil and the others sugested. I did this in wordpress2.7.1 and 2.6.0 being that the update.php file is totally diffrfent on both of these. Neither have worked however. So if anyone can help…..
