Title: blank install.php Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # blank install.php * [lozzmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lozzmo/) * (@lozzmo) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/) * I modified the wp-config.php with relevant details and uploaded all of the content into the root of my website. However when I go to [http://www.lozz.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.lozz.com/wp-admin/install.php) I get a blank page. Have tried this in multiple browsers from different connections– all the same. Have checked all my settings – all fine. * I’ve also trawled this forum site and haven’t found a fix for it, other than moving it into a sub-directory. * Any suggestions? * (P.S. I’ve found that if I put the wrong SQL server in the wp-config.php, then an error message comes up – so something is alive!)

I have also had no troubles with PHP in the past. Unfortunately that topic wasn’t relevant. I don’t get a “Page cannot be found”, I just get a blank page with no content. 🙁 * [buggerlugs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buggerlugs/) * (@buggerlugs) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/#post-366400) * Today i have also experienced this problem on a new hosting package. * Php is: 4.4.4 mysql is: 4.1.21-standard * When wrong db info is entered i get the cannot connect page, when proper info is entered the page is blank and the code reads; ‘ ‘ * I just looked at the permission on install.php and its currently set at 644 – is that okay? * [JeremyVisser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremyvisser/) * (@jeremyvisser) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/#post-366401) * **lozzmo**, when you get a blank page, it usually means there is a PHP error, but it is being hidden due to the PHP configuration. * If you have access to the webserver error logs, there error will be listed there. If not, you can try enabling error displaying in your host’s control panel or something. * **Edit**: didn’t realise the thread was so old. * [buggerlugs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buggerlugs/) * (@buggerlugs) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/#post-366402) * Further to this i have just looked at raw error logs and see the following; * ‘ [Wed Sep 20 07:39:03 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: main() [[function.require](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/function.require?output_format=md)]: Failed opening required ‘/home/me/public_html/mywebsite/blog//wp-admin/admin- functions.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/me/ public_html/mywebsite/blog/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 3 * [Wed Sep 20 07:39:03 2006] [error] PHP Warning: main(/home/me/public_html/mywebsite/ blog//wp-admin/admin-functions.php) [[function.main](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/function.main?output_format=md)]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/me/public_html/mywebsite/ blog/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 3 * [Wed Sep 20 07:35:01 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: main() [[function.require](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/function.require?output_format=md)]: Failed opening required ‘/home/me/public_html/mywebsite/blog//wp-admin/admin- functions.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/me/ public_html/mywebsite/blog/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 3 * [Wed Sep 20 07:35:01 2006] [error] PHP Warning: main(/home/me/public_html/mywebsite/ blog//wp-admin/admin-functions.php) [[function.main](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/function.main?output_format=md)]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/me/public_html/mywebsite/ blog/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 3 ‘ Why are there 2 // in that? * A second error i see is: ‘ [Wed Sep 20 07:32:04 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp() in /home/me/public_html/mysite/blog/wp-blog- header.php on line 14 [Wed Sep 20 07:32:04 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp() in /home/me/public_html/mysite/blog/wp-blog-header. php on line 14 ‘ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘blank install.php’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 8 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [buggerlugs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buggerlugs/) * Last activity: [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-installphp-1/#post-366402) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
