I googled:
"No input file specified" wordpress install.php
From what I saw, I would ask three questions:
- Are you running Windows (IIS) or Linux (Apache)?
- If Linux, is there an .htaccess file in the root directory (i.e. – the directory where /wp-admin/ is)? Remember, .htaccess can be hidden by some directory viewers.
- What version of PHP are you using?
Version 4 PHP is a problem. Pre-existing .htaccess can be a problem. And IIS environments have some issues sometimes, too.
WordPress requires:
PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
MySQL version 5.0 or greater
Thank you Tara! I followed this link as a Bible haha but they do not mention this trouble.
And I am neither on Windows (IIS) or Linux… :/
As well I am using PHP 5.3
If you don’t know whether your web host is running Windows or Linux, then please indicate who your web host is and which hosting package you bought.
Did you check for an .htaccess file? If it is there, you may want to temporarily rename it to test.htaccess and see if that solves your problem.
I don’t see any .htaccess file.
My webhost is webland.ch using a basic package 😉
Thank you for your help
During the Order Process for Basic, they give you a choice of Linux or Windows.
During the Order Process for Basic, they give you a choice of Linux or Windows. If you chose Windows, and aren’t using the web hosting for anything else, I would suggest you switch to Linux. WordPress just runs better on Linux, and that Google I did (see above) indicates lots of “no input file” errors on Windows.
