    I have no problem installing wordpress 2.6 or 2.7 into any of my websites until I try to install into a sub-domain.
    After full installation when I go to my browser //wp-admin/install.php all I get is a blank page. This only happens on my subdomains like http://recycle.webofferreview.com. the installation to the main domain worked like a hot knife in soft butter.
    what am I doing wrong? is this a case where ‘localhost’ has to be changed?
    any help please.

    If you installed, why do you need to visit install.php?

    If by localhost you mean for DB_HOST, then that should be okay.

    If you have it installed, then you might need http://txfx.net/files/wordpress/disable-canonical-redirects.phps

    Ok Michael H
    I guess I did not make my self clear.
    I downloaded and did everything up to and including changing the wp-config file.
    I uploaded this to my site via dreamweaver ftp.
    This is where I am stuck.
    the next step should be
    http://recycle.webofferreview.com//Blog/wp-admin/install.php
    when I hit enter at this point I get a blank screen with done in the statusbar.

    If you’ve named your folder Blog, change it to blog.

    Then try:
    http://recycle.webofferreview.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php

    Also, make sure you are using ASCII transfer mode in your FTP client. I prefer FileZilla as it ‘automatically’ detects the transfer mode to use.

    One more thing
    I placed http://txfx.net/files/wordpress/disable-canonical-redirects.phps into my plugin foler and still not able to finish the installation.
    by ‘localhost’ I was talking about the wp-config file which refers to this. my DB is on the main domain webofferreview.com
    Michael

    Well if you haven’t installed then that plugin isn’t activated. I was recommending that if you were already installed and not able to access the blog.

    Re-read my previous post, please.

    OK MichaelH,
    I did everything you told me to do.
    still nothing. I must miss somthing because I installed five blogs sofar into my top domains and they work fantastic. I have this problem only with my sub domains. am I condemned to change all my subdomains into top domains? that will be a lot of work and money too.
    any more Ideas?
    I really do appreciate your time and help.

    Michael H.
    Thank you for your help. I finally figured out what the problem was. When I add subdomains in plesk the attributes are at chmod 644. when I ftp’d and set those to 755 everything worked.
    I also found that for the themes editor to work I have to set all of those to 777.
    Maybe this information helps someone else sometimes.
    How do I mark this problem as resolved?
