[resolved] install.php doesn't see wp-config.php (2 posts)

    I have uploaded wordpress to my remote server (Blog), created an empty database, and the wp-config.php file with the connection details. When I run install.php I get this message:

    There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.

    When I click on "create a wp-config.php file through a web interface," I am sent to a page with this message:

    The file 'wp-config.php' already exists. If you need to reset any of the configuration items in this file, please delete it first. You may try installing now.

    When I click on "installing now," I am returned to the first page.
    If I remove the existing wp-conf.php file, I get the Step 1 page, but when I click on "let's go," I get "No input file specified."
    Thanks for your help.

    What I did was download a new version of WordPress, delete the original install and start over. It worked.
