   Hi everyone,

   I have a client who tried to upload and install wordpress. When I try to run the install.php script, what I get on the screen is the contents of wp-config.php.

   I have already set the folder permissions to 775 recursively. I also noticed that although he gave a database name and password in wp-config.php, the database didn't exist. So, I created it but the results are the same.

   He says he was getting this message, but I have not gotten this message:

   message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_admin() in
   /usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/XXX.com/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/comment.php on line 159

   Thanks for any ideas.

   upload the files, all of them.

   Also make sure that PHP is installed and turned on, and NOT running in Safe Mode. If it is displaying the contents of the file, it's likely the file isn't being parsed by PHP due to one or more of the above not being done.

   this:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_admin() in
   /usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/XXX.com/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/comment.php on line 159

   is clear evidence that PHP is installed.

   I just deleted everything he did and started over, and it's fine now. Up and running. Thanks!
