    Hi,

    Installed WordPress as directed in the instructions, but when it came to accessing (wp-admin/install.php) I came up with:

    “Safari can’t open the page “http://rees.bubblecreative.net/wp-admin/install.php” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.”

    Rather than 404 etc…

    I’ve tried leaving it a while, and retrying but still the same result.

  • I am getting a page not found error in IE, nothing at all in Firefox and the same error in safari.

    Safari does move me to the install.php page and errors if I just enter http://rees.bubblecreative.net/, so I would check the internal PHP/DB connections/Mysql and see if you are getting the error loading include files etc.

    To prove the connection is OK I usually stick a test index.php page into my sub directories and try connecting to them, I sometimes add a line <?php phpinfo(); ?> or some text just to check that everything is OK.

    *wooooosh*

    In a plain text editor, create a file called test.php and add the line <?php phpinfo(); ?>. Upload the file to your wordpress folder and then try navigating to it via your web browser using http://example.com/path_to/test/.php. If that page works, then try re-uploading all files & folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    If it doesn’t work, contact your hosts.

    Oh, how delightful. It worked. Thank you guys, I have no idea why it would work after a fresh install, as all the settings were the same, and it was a download from last night.
