kapitaineHi, I'm new to WordPress, it's been something I've been looking into recently and today decided to take the plunge and get a blog up and going.
However, after setting up my database etc and following all of the instructions (very carefully) I get an error when calling the install.php script. The error is:
=======================================================
FastCGI Error
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.
Error Details:
* The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly
* Error Number: -2 (0xfffffffe).
* Error Description: Unknown Error
HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
=======================================================
This can also be viewed directly on the URL:
http://www.unibands.co.uk/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
I Googled for a solution about this but none have worked that I have tried which involved some code fixes and amends etc. Apparently it is something to do with IIS. However, I am on a shared hosting server so I can't access stuff like that. I can only FTP and handle the Database through PHPmyAdmin.
I firstly tried to install the latest release, 2.6.3 (I think) and had the problem. Someone said when they rolled back to an older version it worked, but I have tried several of these to no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cannot beleive I'm stuck already on the first block!!
Many thanks,
Mikey.
