Might it be something wrong with PHP permissions?
princeton? and you want help decoding that error?
Is the Apache install on that server compiled w/ PHP?
Server: Apache/1.3.34 (OpenPKG/2.3) mod_auth_pam/1.1.1 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7e
(the directories are browsable, index.php is not set up as a default index file)
what are PHP permissions?
—
Create a file named test.php
put this inside it and the very top:
<?php
phpinfo(0;
?>
Upload that file to that web space, into the same directory as the wp-config.php.
Make sure the permissions are 644.
Bring up that file in your browser. Same error?
Rename the file to test.html
Bring up the renamed file in your browser.
You see content?
Most.edu webboxes are not set up with Apache/PHP/MySQL — especially not older ones.
Okay, well, the test.php didn’t work. The static HTML files are able to viewed just fine. I even tried an iWeb static site, and it works. How can I change the permissions to 644?
Most aren’t but I’ve been able to set it up with the requisite files. And there’s another Princeton org that has used WordPress just fine.

And haha, I’m a humanities student, not quite a COS/ Webmaster 🙂

thats all great except that looks like its on another server.
[me2@boxx ~]$ host webscript.princeton.edu
webscript.princeton.edu has address 128.112.130.172
[me@boxx ~]$ host www.princeton.edu
www.princeton.edu is an alias for foundry-lb-vip-30.princeton.edu.
foundry-lb-vip-30.princeton.edu has address 128.112.132.86
in fact.. here:
[me2@boxx ~]$ curl -I http://webscript.princeton.edu/~tasa/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

diff server, different set up
Hmm, well all the MySQL stuff is on http://webscript.princeton.edu/. I also have it configured that way too….
youre not understanding what Im writing, or something. the server you are trying to use wordpress on, does not have PHP support, or so it appears.
No-one here can help you with that.
