Installation Troubles

    Hello Team,
    I’ve been at this all morning and I’m stumped. I hope this looks familiar to someone.
    I’m running a RedHat 9 server, and I’ve placed the wordpress folder in the html folder. I’ve followed the install instructions, but am getting stuck right at the beginning.
    When I try to run the install script I get the following;
    [selzlerb@ybtalk wp-admin]$ ./install.php
    ./install.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
    ./install.php: line 2: =: command not found
    ./install.php: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token ‘ ‘../wp-config.php”
    ./install.php: line 3: ‘if (!file_exists(‘../wp-config.php’)) ‘
    And I get the following when I go to the url;
    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
    Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?

    I believe I have MySQL setup correctly, but apparently not. Anyone recognize these errors? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    That looks like raw code ?
    Have you done a php info ?

    I’m not sure what you mean by that. I’m using php 4.2.2.

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    Save that in a text editor as phpinfo.php
    Upload to your space, then visit it in a browser.
    That will check your php info, and tell you if it is talking to the mysql.

    Hi,
    I’ve installed the phpinfo file as requested. It’s at;
    http://ybtalk.esuhsd.org/phpinfo.php
    It appears to recognize MySQL, however I’m not sure what this report is telling me.
    Also, I have vBulletin installed on this server as well. Could that be creating a conflict of some sort? Let me know what you think.
