Title: installing into subdomain. Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # installing into subdomain. * Resolved [michaelgs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelgs/) * (@michaelgs) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-into-subdomain/) * I have no problem installing wordpress 2.6 or 2.7 into any of my websites until I try to install into a sub-domain. After full installation when I go to my browser //wp-admin/install.php all I get is a blank page. This only happens on my subdomains like [http://recycle.webofferreview.com](http://recycle.webofferreview.com). the installation to the main domain worked like a hot knife in soft butter. what am I doing wrong? is this a case where ‘localhost’ has to be changed? any help please.

I downloaded and did everything up to and including changing the wp-config file. I uploaded this to my site via dreamweaver ftp. This is where I am stuck. the next step should be [http://recycle.webofferreview.com//Blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://recycle.webofferreview.com//Blog/wp-admin/install.php) when I hit enter at this point I get a blank screen with done in the statusbar.

I prefer FileZilla as it ‘automatically’ detects the transfer mode to use. * Resource: * [Uploading WordPress to a remote host](http://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_WordPress_to_a_remote_host) [FTP Clients](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) * Thread Starter [michaelgs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelgs/) * (@michaelgs) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-into-subdomain/#post-960051) * One more thing I placed [http://txfx.net/files/wordpress/disable-canonical-redirects.phps](http://txfx.net/files/wordpress/disable-canonical-redirects.phps) into my plugin foler and still not able to finish the installation. by ‘localhost’ I was talking about the wp-config file which refers to this. my DB is on the main domain webofferreview.com Michael * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-into-subdomain/#post-960052) * Well if you haven’t installed then that plugin isn’t activated.

I must miss somthing because I installed five blogs sofar into my top domains and they work fantastic. I have this problem only with my sub domains. am I condemned to change all my subdomains into top domains? that will be a lot of work and money too. any more Ideas? I really do appreciate your time and help.

Thank you for your help. I finally figured out what the problem was. When I add subdomains in plesk the attributes are at chmod 644. when I ftp’d and set those to 755 everything worked. I also found that for the themes editor to work I have to set all of those to 777. Maybe this information helps someone else sometimes. How do I mark this problem as resolved?
