    Hello,

    I have installed a new wordpress blog by following the 5-minute installation guide.

    However, when I point my browser to the install.php file, the file does not run. Instead, I am prompted to either save it or open it. When I try to open it, the browser window just blinks and then nothing happens. I have checked my web server and PHP is installed and running.

    How could I resolve this?

    Thank you.

    That sounds like a server configuration issue.

    Your own web server that your administer, or a web host?

    On a web host, try adding

    AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

    to the .htaccess file. And if it’s your own web server, do that and be sure you’ve configured php in httpd.conf.

    Thank you for your reply.

    PHP was actually not running on the web server, so I couldn’t run the install file.

    Thanks.
