    Let’s dance the “moshu minuet“

    I say: I get “Page Cannot Display” when I attempt to install.php.

    You say: If it says it isn’t there, then it isn’t there!

    I say: But I copied the readme.file into the wp-admin directory and was able to view it, recognizing that the install.php was also in the same directory.

    You say: (Well…actually, we’ve not gotten that far before).

    This topic is: Not Resolved FOR EVER!

    So willing to be embarrassed!

    Site URL, please.

    1. Did you download the latest WP 2.5.1 from this web site?
    2. Did you unzip the distro onto your hard drive?
    3. Did you, via FTP, upload all the files and folders to your server space?
    4. Did you then attempt to run install.php from here:
    http://yourwebserver.com/wp-admin/install.php ?

    Attempting installs:

    http://www.cp-plus.com/HRGBlog/wp-admin/install.php

    AND

    http://www.bbg-pies.com/wp-admin/install.php

    on the same server, using PHP5.2.6 and MySql 5.0.

    Downloaded WP2.5.1 from here. Unzipped and copied folder(s – two installations) to server space. Completed wp-config file(s). When I run …/wp-admin/install.php I get Page Cannot Display error. BUT, install.php is there in the same wp-admin directory where I copied and can access the Readme file.

    All of my prior WP installations have been a “stumble upon” process at this very spot. I never understand how I eventually get it to work.

    Would greatly appreciate any feedback.

    Windows IIS server. That explains it. Just a MINOR FRIGGING DETAIL. {{rolls eyes}}

    HTTP Error 404 – File or directory not found.
    Internet Information Services (IIS)

    Sorry. I seem to be missing the point. What might that MINOR FRIGGING DETAIL be? Where should I focus my attention.

    Thanks

    Jesus, if you couldn’t figure out what the POINT was from the above, then, frankly, good luck figuring out the server situation.

    Simply put, you’re running on a windows server. That’s NOT the normal server environment; most WP installs are *nix/Apache. And the five-minute install that you are throwing around in all your posts ASSUMES an Apache server. It’s a big deal really. So read the link I posted above. I’m personally not familiar with IIS servers, so maybe someone else will be along to help you with it.

    Objective achieved.

    Do you even have php installed on that windows box?… MySQL on there? No? perhaps later?
