On a fresh install there shouldn’t be a /luis directory in the /themes folder. What’s that?
on the install.php
I enterted the “Weblog title” ——-(in this case) —-> Luis
under “Email” I entered one.
then I get…..
Second Step
Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.
Warning: mkdir(c:\inetpub\wwwroot/wp-content/themes/luis): Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-admin\upgrade-functions.php on line 683
Finished!
Now you can log in with the username “admin” and password “93c36d”.
Note that password carefully! It is a random password that was generated just for you. If you lose it, you will have to delete the tables from the database yourself, and re-install WordPress. So to review:
Username
admin
Password
*********
Login address
wp-login.php
Were you expecting more steps? Sorry to disappoint. All done! 🙂
any idea?
// Create a site theme from the default theme.
function make_site_theme() {
// Name the theme after the blog.
$theme_name = __get_option(‘blogname’);
$template = sanitize_title($theme_name);
$site_dir = ABSPATH . “wp-content/themes/$template”;
// If the theme already exists, nothing to do.
if ( is_dir($site_dir)) {
return false;
}
// We must be able to write to the themes dir.
if (! is_writable(ABSPATH . “wp-content/themes”)) {
return false;
}
umask(0);
LINE683 if (! mkdir($site_dir, 0777)) {
return false;
}
if (file_exists(ABSPATH . ‘wp-layout.css’)) {
if (! make_site_theme_from_oldschool($theme_name, $template)) {
// TODO: rm -rf the site theme directory.
return false;
}
} else {
if (! make_site_theme_from_default($theme_name, $template))
// TODO: rm -rf the site theme directory.
return false;
}
// Make the new site theme active.
$current_template = __get_option(‘template’);
if ($current_template == ‘default’) {
update_option(‘template’, $template);
update_option(‘stylesheet’, $template);
}
return $template;
If you upgrade from WP 1.2 to 1.5, WP installation will try to convert your old-style theme to WP 1.5’s theme and copy it to “wp-content/themes.” You have to make that directory writeable to make it happen.
For some reason – I just tested this locally – on install now, WP creates a theme named after your blog. No clue as to why – I’ve asked for clarification.
The initial error is a write permissions error but seeing as you can’t give permissions to a directory until it is created, and it’s not created until WP does it and it then immediately wants to write to it ….
I can only suggest that you get a copy of 1.5.1 from here:
http://static.wordpress.org/archive/
Install, then upgrade straight away.
this is a new install fresh, first time ever to install WP.
Just checked and I have version 1.5.1.3
I created a dir with the name before install and completed w/o error. The folder was empty after the install too. Pointless.
thanks for the help.
