 * Everything appears to be working except that I cannot access the blog index page.
 * Install WP: success
    Create DB tables: success Log in as administrator: success
   Write test post: success
 * I cannot click on any link to view the blog page or access directly.
 * Any attempts lead to the “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file.”
 * I have:
 * – created the wp-config thru the web interface and manually
    – verified the paths,
   CHMODs and folder integrity – deleted and recreated the DBs using the web interface
   and phpmyadmin
 * Whenever I click the web interface. the next page begins “The file ‘wp-config.
   php’ already exists.”
 * I’ve deleted the DB via phpmyadmin, then click “try installing again”.
 * First and second installation steps are successful; and I log in without issues,
   but I still cannot click on any links to view site.
 * In addition, I have re-downloaded and re-installed the files via FTP, but the
   problem still occurs.
 * I also tried changing:
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’); creates:
    Fatal error: Failed opening
   required ‘//wp-settings.php’ (include_path=”) in //wp-config.php on line 19
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__)); creates:
    Fatal error: Failed opening required‘/
   wp-settings.php’ (include_path=”) in //wp-config.php on line 19
 * In the wp-config.php, I have changed the line: define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
 * to
 * define(‘ABSPATH’,’/home/taktikz/public_html/blog/’);
 * and
 * define(‘ABSPATH’,’/home/taktikz/public_html/blog’.’/’);
 * Both changes gets me pass the errors and lead to the “Already installed” screen.
 * I’m right back where I started.
 * Any assistance is appreciated.
