• If someone can help diagnose me that would mean to world to me. I have literally spent 12 hours on this simple task of installing WP. I should mention I uploaded the files via FTP and my server uses plesk.

    Basically, i go to the install.php and I get what is below – nothing but rubbish!

    <?php
    define(‘WP_INSTALLING’, true);
    if (!file_exists(‘../wp-config.php’))
    die(“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”);

    require_once(‘../wp-config.php’);
    require_once(‘./upgrade-functions.php’);

    $guessurl = str_replace(‘/wp-admin/install.php?step=2’, ”, ‘http://&#8217; . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . dirname($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]) );

    if (isset($_GET[‘step’]))
    $step = $_GET[‘step’];
    else
    $step = 0;
    header( ‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’ );
    ?>

  • Are you sure PHP is running on that server?

    Sounds like a php file is treated as a simple object here. Contact the system admin if you haven’t PHP running. See server information as well if the sysadmin is on holiday…
