• I use Network Solutions (networksolutions.com) as my host/server. They have mySql on their server. I have read others have gotten WordPress to work. I have the Advanced package with them. I am using Frontpage as the front end web designing program. I think I followed the instructions to install but I am having no luck. I put the entire wordpress directory (after I unzipped it) onto my website’s directory and then I ran that install file and a bunch of coding came up. Need help big time. I am a midlevel computer person… Not a dunce – not a pro… about in the middle. So if you can explain it in somewhat laymans terms I would appreciate it.

  • 1. On top of this page click ABOUT > then on the right > Requirements. Compare to what you have in your package.
    2. Post back and we’ll see from there.

    I hope you are on a Unix server of theirs, otherwise you will not have PHP. If you are seeing the code… unfortunately that might be a sign that you don’t have PHP included in your package.

    I asked Network Solutions what they have..
    They told me this. I am not on the unix option – I am on their Windows option…
    PHP 4.3.10
    Mysql 3.23.58
    The mod_rewrite enabled

    So, does your install work now?
    I went to the site you mentioned:
    http://www.networksolutions.com/web-hosting/advanced-web-hosting-package.jhtml
    and clicking the last item in the list > “See all features”
    opens a popup window where it says under Website Development Features: PHP 4 = (Unix only).

    Moderator:

    The Network Solutions (NS) site only approximates the PHP version number in their hosting package descriptions. After several calls to NS I have confirmed that their current PHP version is 4.4.

    I have also confirmed that WordPress will run on an NS hosting server.

    I run a site at NS on a linux server, works fine. Wouldn’t consider trying it on a Windows server though.

    Agreed: my comment about was about the UNIX version of WordPress.
