What operating system is the server running?
The wp-config.php and wp-settings.php files almost certainly do not live in the root dirctory (/). What is the full path to the directory in which you installed WordPress?
wp-config.php should be able to figure out this path (by using dirname(__FILE__). The error message indicates that this is not working as expected.
eehr, it’s on the school server, it runs linux.. i just uploaded them to http://langepoten.hku.nl/wordpress just like the installation readme told me..
The link above says “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file.”
Try uploading everything again, taking care to use ASCII mode if you use FTP. Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, and edit as needed.
yeah but when you click on the webbased config file creator link, then it says: ” 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.”
i also tried uploading everything in ascii mode, but it doesnt change the problem..
It’s the double slash, which I believe is something to do with the php.ini file ?
What version of PHP is being used on this server? You can test with the following PHP script. Save this as php.php and upload it.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
