3.4.2 New Install Problem

    I’ve installed 3.4.2 to my site forskolindiet.com, uploaded via FTP along with edited wp-config.php file. Initially, site cannot be accessed. I had to upload an .htaccess file just to display a page.
    The .htaccess file contents:
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    The issue now is that once logged in to site admin, it displays the Hello World page with the admin bar but I have no access to any admin features(No dashboard, Themes, Widgets, etc.).
    The install is to the root directory on a dedicated server. I’ve also contactred my server support to verify the requirements for a WordPress install and they say its fine. I’ve tried installing older versions deleting database and user and recreating DB and new user all with the same results.
    I’m at a loss on this one. Any help would be appreciated.
    Also, forgot to mention, I tried an install to subdirectory as well. Same results.
    Thanks in advance

    Is this a completely fresh install or did you restore a site from a previous database backup?

    Fresh install, also have deleted install several times and reloaded via FTP. Also have downloaded the zip file again, extracted and uploaded fresh to server all with same result. A side note, I uploaded Yoast’s emergency sript(emergency.php) and it does not execute either. Seems a problem with php execution and by default the Hello World page is displayed. I’ve checked error logs and there is no errors listed after uploading the .htaccess file. Prior to that, there was a 500 server error.

    It allows to add user or change passwords if admin is inaccessible.It accesses database directly. Never used though, mainly loaded to test php.

    It’s just that it’s totally inappropriate in this situation. It seems to me that there’s a problem on your server. You should not need an .htaccess file in a fresh install – let alone one that is used for custom permalinks. What happens if you remove everything from the .htaccess file?

    with a blank .htaccess, site displays Hello World page. When I try to login, I get 500 Internal Server Error. Then if I refresh homepage the admin bar appears but if I click on dashboard or customize,etc. I get 500 Server Error again. The error log does show an error but it only refers to a 500.shtml page not existing.

    Just uploaded 404 and 500 error pages to eliminate page missing errors from log.

    Tried setting permissions on wp-admin folder to 777. Still getting 500 Internal Server Error.

    I think you need to contact your hosts. There’s something very wrong with your server. You should not have to jump through any hoops with a fresh WordPress install.

    That’s the 1st thing I did. Dedicated server so they don’t support WordPress and will only fix what I tell them is wrong.

    I can only suggest that you post on a forum that is dedicated to your server software. This kind of issue is really beyond the scope of these forums.

    Hi!
    I had a similar problem for a client’s site. We encountered 404 errors on all but the home page, after changing the permalinks. We did not have issues with the dashboard.

    The fresh reinstall (it was freshly installed), did not due the trick.
    Manually adding an .htaccess didn’t either. After deleting it I tried one more thing, hinted by your 777 remark.

    THIS WORKED: changing all file and directory attributes to 770!

    Hope this will help you out!

    Kind regards,
    Barbara

    Another problem, I just did an manual update and now I can’t even see the themes page on the dashboard and the front sites.
