New WordPress Server and 2022 server

    Hello,

    I have a brand new windows 2022 server, fully patched, with PHP 8.2.11 and MySQL 8.0.34 loaded.

    I ran a windows server 2012 r2 from beginning to end, and I really did not have many issues with maintaining the server and the versions of Worpress.

    With server 2022, all bets are off. I am struggling to find a really good, step by step method to install WordPress on this server.

    What I need help with:

    When I try to install WordPress, I simply get a message that says ” A critical error has occurred” and a link to a help page here at WordPress.org

    I do not have https installed on the server as of yet, I am in the troubleshooting mode, trying to determine if it is a WordPress issue, a PHP issue or a Windows issue.

    Any step-by-step troubleshooting articles out there that might be able to assist what might be the issue, or do you all have any recommendations on where to start?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    This is the only hints I am getting:

    TSS: excluded result: false content-scripts.js:1:59258

    TSS: hosted page injected setup-config.php:4:17

    InstallTrigger is deprecated and will be removed in the future. setup-config.php:96:12

    Try to enable the debugging mode on WP and see which warnings it shows.

    Take a look at this article to do so:

    Jorge,

    Thank you for the response.

    I will attempt to get to this as soon as I can, which may be this weekend or probably sooner.

    OK, I inserted a test wp-config-sample.php file and got the same error:

    A critical error has occurred.

    There was no debug.log file in the wp-content folder. A search produced no results.

    When I simply renamed the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php , I get the expected error Database Error – Error establishing database connection.

    Please remember, this is a brand new installation attempt on a reloaded Windows 2022, IIS, MySQL and PHP load.

    I appreciate all suggestions and troubleshooting tips.

    Did you already try out the MySQL server? Did you try to login directly to one through from command line?

    Please, do that try out.

    Yes, I am able to log in to the MYSQL server by command line and by the workbench app as well.

    WordPress 6.4 is out soon, like 07Nov23? I will try that from scratch as well.

    WinAcme / Let’s Encrypt certificates for HTTPS:// installed successfully. Tried the website and it still gives the critical error upon trying to start a new WordPress website. I will dig into permissions within a few days.

    Well…. I deleted the WP files on the website. I loaded up 6.4.1 and I was honestly shocked to see the setup screen – I have not done anything else to the server or the website. The site went through the installation hoops and the skeletal website is up and running as I type. I shut the server down so I can work on several other items before I get the website restored. I have two more websites to install from scratch, but the main site should be back up and fully functional soon.

    Should there be any other issues, I will open up a new ticket.
