Support » Installing WordPress » get the first /install.php but then loads a blank page

    So, i developed this site on my local host, and the wordpress set up worked just fine.

    Then, i uploaded the site, and set up the database and tried to run install.php. It asked me the blog name and email, which i filled in appropriately. I then clicked the “install wordpress” button and all i get is a blank page that is completely loaded (install.php?step=2).

    Is this a database error? Something else? Help is always appreciated.

    thanks

  • Might have to change the configuration file in the c:\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf (httpd.conf). Inside there is a line that looks like:
    directoryindex index.html

    If you change it to:
    directoryindex index.php index.html
    It may solve your problem, but I’m guessing. Back up your httpd.conf file.

    Hope that helps.

    My problem is happening once it’s uploaded to the server. And it’s something that has never happened before on other WP installs that i’ve done. I guess i’m curious as to why editing apache code would make a difference.

    * databases and other server side code is not my forte *

    problem solved. i made a stupid mistake. At least my suspicion was right that it was database related!
