install.php does nothing

    Hi,
    I can’t get past the http://www.mydomain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php page?

    I have modified the config file to work with my MySQL database etc. In Firefox it asks me if I want to download the install.php file (no option to open it in Firefox), in Safari it comes back with this error: Safari can’t open the page “http://www.mydomain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005).

    It would appear that my database setup is correct, I have checked to see if I needed to change the ‘localhost’ to something else but I don’t need to.

    I have searched the forum and so far only come close to solving this problem. Any ideas as this seems to be a popular problem with different solutions?

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like your Internet connection keeps cutting out. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?

    ..and if Firefox is asking you to download the PHP file, ratehr than open it, it could also be a server issue. Maybe your host doesn’t have PHP set up correctly, or something along those lines. Sounds like either an ISP or hosting issue.

    My ISP is NOW Broadband in Hong Kong. It can’t be that as my internet is on 24/7 and works fine with all other things.

    My webserver (ipowerweb) has these installed acording to my control panel (cpanel 5)

    PHP Version 4.4.2
    Mysql Version 4.0.22-standard

    any light on the issue?

    I have also done a ‘test.php’ on my server and it works fine!

    actually yes. I had a discussion about this very thing the other day (last week, I think?) But I can’t find it. If you search the forums, though, you’ll come up with a ton of solutions for “opening PHP files”.

    I can’t remember what the solution was (like I said, I can’t find the exact conversation), but it *was* some server setting. Something to do with filesizes. If I find the conversation, I’ll pass it along.

    that was it, i had tried to upgrade the PHP memory myself but it didn’t work. My host has upped it to 64mb and i now have a blog to work on, cheers for the support!
